Chapter 10: Q77 - Exercises (page 686)

Flight times Emirates Airline offers one outbound flight from Dubai, United Arab Emirates, to Doha, Qatar, and one return flight from Doha to Dubai each day. An experienced Emirates pilot suspects that the Dubai-to-Doha outbound flight typically takes longer. To find out, the pilot collects data about these flights on a random sample of 12 days. The table displays the flight times in minutes.

  1. Explain why these are paired data.

  2. A dot plot of the difference (Outbound鈥揜eturn) inflight time for each day is shown. Describe what the graph reveals aDubbout whether the outbound or return flight takes longer, on average.

  3. Calculate the mean difference and the standard deviation of the differences. Interpret the standard deviation.

Short Answer

Expert verified

Data is paired as it is going and return time of same flight. Dot plot confirms that outbound time > return time. Mean Differences = 10.083; Standard Deviation =10.766

Step by step solution

01

Paired Data 

Paired data is defined as sets of data acquired from same individual sample units at different periods of time.

Like, it usually includes data before and after a treatment.

Here, the same flight is being observed for outbound and return time on same route. So, it is paired data.

02

Dot Plot Interpretation 

The dot plot represents that most of the differences of outboundtime-returntimeare positive. It denotes that outbondtime>returntime.

Hence, the pilot's anticipation is correct.

03

Mean Difference 

Mean Difference =Sumofdifferences/Numberofdifferences

Outbond (Dubai to Doha)Return (Doha to Dubai)Difference (Outbond - Return)

Mean = [33+5+....-5+4]12121/12=10.083

04

Difference's Standard Deviation and Interpretation 

Standard Deviation = (xi-x')2(xi-x')2/(n-1)wherexi=individualdifferences,x'=meandifference,n=numberofsampleunits

OutbondReturnDifference(xi-x')2
754233(33-10.083)2=525.189
4237525.837
4348-5227.497
5248437.003

Similarly, by summing all the sum of deviations, we get

[(33-10.083333333333)2+...+(4-10.083333333333)2]/11=10.766

Standard deviation value denotes how scattered or spread the differences are around the mean standard difference, on an average.

American-made cars Nathan and Kyle both work for the Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV), but they live in different states. In Nathan鈥檚 state, 80%of the registered cars are made by American manufacturers. In Kyle鈥檚 state, only 60%of the registered cars are made by American manufacturers. Nathan selects a random sample of 100cars in his state and Kyle selects a random sample of 70cars in his state. Let pn-pkbe the difference (Nathan鈥檚 state 鈥 Kyle鈥檚 state) in the sample proportion of cars made by American manufacturers.

a. What is the shape of the sampling distribution of pn-pk? Why?

b. Find the mean of the sampling distribution.

c. Calculate and interpret the standard deviation of the sampling distribution.

Response bias Does the appearance of the interviewer influence how people respond to a survey question? Ken (white, with blond hair) and Hassan (darker, with Middle Eastern features) conducted an experiment to address this question. They took turns (in a random order) walking up to people on the main street of a small town, identifying themselves as students from a local high school, and asking them, 鈥淒o you support President Obama鈥檚 decision to launch airstrikes in Iraq?鈥 Of the 50people Hassan spoke to, 11said 鈥淵es,鈥 while 21of the 44people Ken spoke to said 鈥淵es.鈥 Construct and interpret a 90%confidence interval for the difference in the proportion of people like these who would say they support President Obama鈥檚 decision when asked by Hassan versus when asked by Ken.

According to sleep researchers, if you are between the ages of 12and 18years old, you need 9 hours of sleep to function well. A simple random sample of 28students was chosen from a large high school, and these students were asked how much sleep they got the previous night. The mean of the responses was 7.9hours with a standard deviation of 2.1hours.

Which of the following is the standardized test statistic for the hypothesis test ?

  2. t=9-7.92.128andt=9-7.92.128

Artificial trees? An association of Christmas tree growers in Indiana wants to know if there is a difference in preference for natural trees between urban and rural households. So the association sponsored a survey of Indiana households that had a Christmas tree last year to find out. In a random sample of 160rural households, 64had a natural tree. In a separate random sample of 261urban households, 89had a natural tree. A 95%confidence interval for the difference (Rural 鈥 Urban) in the true proportion of households in each population that had a natural tree is -0.036to0.154. Does the confidence interval provide convincing evidence that the two population proportions are equal? Explain your answer.

Steroids in high school A study by the National Athletic Trainers Association surveyed random samples of 1679high school freshmen and 1366 high school seniors in Illinois. Results showed that 34of the freshmen and 24of the seniors had used anabolic steroids. Steroids, which are dangerous, are sometimes used in an attempt to improve athletic performance. Researchers want to know if there is a difference in the proportion of all Illinois high school freshmen and seniors who have used anabolic steroids.

a. State appropriate hypotheses for performing a significance test. Be sure to define the parameters of interest.

b. Check if the conditions for performing the test are met.
