Get started for freeGender and Direction. Refer to Exercise 10.46 and obtain a 98% confidence interval for the difference between the mean absolute pointing errors for males and females.
In 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 sample standard deviations are and , and each sample size is 25 .
In the article "Sleep Apnea in Adults With Traumatic Brain Injury: A Preliminary Investigation" (Archives of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation, Vol. 82, Issue 3, pp. 316321), J. Webster et al, investigated sleep-related breathing disorders in adults with traumatic brain injuries (TBI). The respiratory disturbance index (RDI), which is the number of apneic and hypopneic episodes per hour of sleep, was used as a measure of severity of sleep apnea. An RDI of 5 or more indicates sleep-related breathing disturbances. The RDIs for the females and males in the study are as follows.
Use the technology of your choice to answer the following questions. Explain your answers.
a. If you had to choose between the use of pooled-procedures and nonpooled -procedures here, which would you choose?
b. Is it reasonable to use the type of procedure that you selected in part (a)?
