Get started for freeFaculty Salaries. Suppose, for example, you want to decide whether the mean salary of faculty in private institutions is greater than the mean salary of faculty in public institutions. State the null and alternative hypotheses for that hypothesis test.
Data on household vehicle miles of travel (VMT) are compiled annually by the Federal Highway Administration and are published in the National Household Travel Survey, Summary of Travel Trends. Independent random samples of midwestern households and southern households provided the following data on last year's VMT, in thousands of miles.
At the significance level, does there appear to be a difference in last year's mean VMT for midwestern and southern households? (Note: , and .)
In each of exercise 10.13-10.18, we have presented a confidence interval for the difference,, between two population means. interpret each confidence interval.
CI is from
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.
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 -lest and pooled -interval procedure is reasonable. Explain your answer.
