H2*μ1μ2

Short Answer

Expert verified

Since the value of test statistics is fall in the accepted region. Thus, the null hypothesis is not rejected.

Step by step solution

01

Given information

The hypothesis is

H0:μ1=μ2,Ha:μ1=μ2

and the level of significance is 0

02

Explanation

Let's compute the sample mean as follow

d¯=dn

=78

=0.875

Calculate the value of standard deviation is,

sd=di2-di2nn-1

=47-(7)288-1=2.4165

The test statistics are,

t=d¯sdn

Substitute the given values in the above equation.

z=0.8752.41655

=1.024

The nvalue of degree of freedom is,

dof=n-1=8-1=7

The critical value for a level of significance of 0.1is 1.895.

In Exercise 10.83, you conducted a nonpooled t-test to decide whether the mean number of acute postoperative days spent in the hospital is smaller with the dynamic system than with the static system. Use the technology of your choice to perform the following tasks.

a. Using a pooledt-test, repeat that hypothesis test.

b. Compare your results from the pooled and nonpooled t-tests.

c. Which test do you think is more appropriate, the pooled or nonpooled t-test? Explain your answer.

The Federal Bureau of Prisons publishes data in Prison Statistics on the times served by prisoners released from federal institutions for the first time. Independent random samples of released prisoners in the fraud and firearms offense categories yielded the following information on time served, in months.

At the 5% significance level, do the data provide sufficient evidence to conclude that the meantime served for fraud is less than that for firearms offenses? (Note: x¯1=10.12,s1=4.90,x¯2=18.78, and s2=4.64.)

The primary concern is deciding whether the mean of Population 1 is greater than the mean of Population 2

The intent is to employ the sample data to perform a hypothesis test to compare the means of the two populations from which the data were obtained. In each case, decide which of the procedures should be applied.

Paired: n=18.

In the paper "The Relation of Sex and Sense of Direction to Spatial Orientation in an Unfamiliar Environment" (Journal of Environmental Psychology, Vol. 20, pp. 17-28), J. Sholl et al. published the results of examining the sense of direction of 30 male and 30 female students. After being taken to an unfamiliar wooded park, the students were given some spatial orientation tests, including pointing to the south, which tested their absolute frame of reference. The students pointed by moving a pointer attached to a 360°protractor. Following are the absolute pointing errors, in degrees, of the participants.

At the 1% significance level, do the data provide sufficient evidence to conclude that, on average, males have a better sense of direction and, in particular, a better frame of reference than females? (Note: x¯1=37.6,s1=38.5,x¯2=55.8,ands2=48.3.)
