HW #9 – HT and CI for Independent Means
Note that for each problem parts C through G are:
C) Give the critical value(s) (from the table).
D) Give the value of the test statistic (from the data).
E) Is the answer Yes or No?
F) What is the p-value?
G) Describe the meaning of the p-value in everyday terms.
Also all sample data are given at the end of the assignment.
1. (IN CLASS) Can we prove that City A and City B differ as far as the average age of their residents? Assume SRS’s.
A) What is the chance that we will conclude a difference when there is none?
B) What is the chance that we won’t conclude a difference when there is?
H) Give a 95% CI for the mean difference (City B – City A) for all residents.
2. (ANSWER GIVEN) Can we prove that City B and City C differ as far as the average age of their residents? Use the 1% significance level and assume SRS’s.
A) What is the chance that we will conclude a difference when there is none?
B) What is the chance that we won’t conclude a difference when there is?
H) Give a 95% CI for the mean difference (City B – City C) for all residents.
3. (SOLUTION GIVEN) Can we prove that Corn A on average matures sooner than Corn B? Assume acres were divided up randomly between the types and use the 5% significance level.
A) What is the chance that we will conclude Corn B matures sooner on average when it doesn’t?
B) What is the chance that we won’t conclude Corn B matures sooner on average when it actually does?
H) Give a 95% CI for the mean difference (Corn B – Corn A) for the population.
4. (HOMEWORK) Can we prove that Corn A has a higher yield on average than Corn B? Assume acres were divided up randomly between the types and use the 10% significance level.
A) What is the chance that we will conclude Corn A has a higher yield on average when it doesn’t?
B) What is the chance that we won’t conclude Corn A has a higher yield on average when it actually does?
H) Give a 95% CI for the mean difference (Corn A – Corn B) for the population.
5. (ALTERNATIVE HW) Can we prove that Corn A has a higher yield on average than Corn C? Assume acres were divided up randomly between the types and use the 5% significance level.
A) What is the chance that we will conclude Corn A has a higher yield on average when it doesn’t?
B) What is the chance that we won’t conclude Corn A has a higher yield on average when it actually does?
H) Give a 95% CI for the mean difference (Corn A – Corn C) for the population.
6. (IN CLASS) Can we prove that Bee Species X has a higher wing stroke frequency on average as compared to Bee Species Y? Assume SRS’s from normal populations.
A) What is the chance that we won’t conclude Bee Species X has a higher wing stroke frequency on average when it actually does?
B) What is the chance that we will conclude Bee Species X has a higher wing stroke frequency on average when it doesn’t?
H) Give a 95% CI for the mean difference (Bee Species X – Bee Species Y) for the populations.
7. (ANSWER GIVEN) Can we prove that Bee Species Y has a lower wing stroke frequency on average as compared to Bee Species Z? Assume SRS’s from normal populations and use the 5% significance level.
A) What is the chance that we won’t conclude Bee Species Y has a lower wing stroke frequency on average when it actually does?
B) What is the chance that we will conclude Bee Species Y has a lower wing stroke frequency on average when it doesn’t?
H) Give a 95% CI for the mean difference (Bee Species Z – Bee Species Y) for the populations.
8. (SOLUTION GIVEN) Can we prove that the “Right-Eye” method is any different than the “Left-Eye” method for mean shooting accuracy for beginning shooters? Assume beginning shooters were divided up randomly and the populations of shooting scores are normal. Use the 5% significance level.
A) What is the chance that we won’t conclude a difference when there actually is?
B) What is the chance that we will conclude a difference by mistake?
H) Give a 95% CI for the mean difference (Left – Right) for the populations.
9. (HOMEWORK) Can we prove that the “Both-Eye” method is any different than the “Left-Eye” method for mean shooting accuracy for beginning shooters? Assume beginning shooters were divided up randomly and the populations of shooting scores are normal. Use the 1% significance level.
A) What is the chance that we won’t conclude a difference when there actually is?
B) What is the chance that we will conclude a difference by mistake?
H) Give a 95% CI for the mean difference (Both – Left) for the populations.
10. (ALTERNATE HW) Can we prove that the “Both-Eye” method is any different than the “Right-Eye” method for mean shooting accuracy for beginning shooters? Assume beginning shooters were divided up randomly and the populations of shooting scores are normal. Use the 10% significance level.
A) What is the chance that we won’t conclude a difference when there actually is?
B) What is the chance that we will conclude a difference by mistake?
H) Give a 95% CI for the mean difference (Both - Right) for the populations.
