Get started for freeIn Exercise , you conducted a nonpooled -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 pooled-test, repeat that hypothesis test.
b. Compare your results from the pooled and nonpooled -tests.
c. Which test do you think is more appropriate, the pooled or nonpooled -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 significance level, do the data provide sufficient evidence to conclude that the meantime served for fraud is less than that for firearms offenses? (Note: , and .)
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.

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 protractor. Following are the absolute pointing errors, in degrees, of the participants.
At the 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: .)
