In each of exercise 10.13-10.18, we have presented a confidence interval for the difference,μ1-μ2, between two population means. interpret each confidence interval

99%CI from-20to15

Short Answer

Expert verified

One can be99%confident that μ1-μ2lies somewhere between -20to15

Equivalently one can be 99%confident that μ1is somewhere greater thanμ2.

Step by step solution

01

Given Information

Given in the question that,

99%CI from -20to15 we have to calculate the interpretation of confidence level.

02

Explanation

The mean found in a sample is thought to represent the best estimate of the population's true value. The sample mean of 99%percent Cl is interpreted as a range of values containing the genuine population mean with probability 0.99or99%.

Finding a confidence interval for the difference between two means can be used to compare two population means.

Assume that μ1is the mean of a variable in population 1and μ2is the mean of a variable in population 2. The sampling distribution of the difference between two means is then μ1-μ2.

Given a99percent confidence interval, Cl ranges from-20to15

The confidence interval's endpoints are both positive values in this case.

This means that μ1-μ2is 99% certain to exist someplace.

Doing Time. Refer to Exercise 10.45 and obtain a 90% confidence interval for the difference between the mean times served by prisoners in the fraud and firearms offense categories.

Left-Tailed Hypothesis Tests and CIs. If the assumptions for a nonpooled t-interval are satisfied, the formula for a (1-α) level upper confidence bound for the difference, μ1-μ2. between two population means is

f1-f2+t0·s12/n1+s22/n2

For a left-tailed hypothesis test at the significance level α, the null hypothesis H0:μ1=μ2 will be rejected in favor of the alternative hypothesis H2:μ1<μ2 if and only if the (1-α)-level upper confidence bound for μ1-μ2 is less than or equal to 0. In each case, illustrate the preceding relationship by obtaining the appropriate upper confidence bound and comparing the result to the conclusion of the hypothesis test in the specified exercise.

a. Exercise 10.83

b. Exercise 10.84

In each of Exercises 10.35-10.38, we have provided summary statistics for independent simple random samples from two populations. Preliminary data analyses indicate that the variable under consideration is normally distributed on each population. Decide, in each case, whether use of the pooled t-lest and pooled t-interval procedure is reasonable. Explain your answer.
10.35 x¯1=468.3,s1=38.2,n1=6

x2=394.6,s2=84.7,n2=14

Give an example of interest to you for comparing two population means. Identify the variable under consideration and the two populations.

Wing Length. D. Cristol al. published results of their studies of two subspecies of dark-eyed juncos in the article "Migratory Dark-Eyed Juncos, Junes Hyemalix, Have Better Spatial Memory and Denser Hippocampal Neurons than Nommigrtory Conspecifics" Animal behavior, Vol, 66, pp. 317-328). One of the subspecies migrates each year, and the other does not migrate. Several

physical characteristics of 14 binds of each subspecies were measured, one of which was wing length. The following data, based on results obtained by the researchers, provide the wing lengths, in millimeters (mm) for the samples of two subpecies.:
