An article reported on an experiment involving a bird-feeder table, time-lapse video, and artificial foods. Information was collected for two different bird species at both the experimental location and at a natural vineyard setting. Consider the following data on time (sec) spent on a single visit to the location. (Note: Assume the populations are normally distributed.) Species Blackbirds Blackbirds Silvereyes Silvereyes Location Exptl Natural Exptl Natural 13.8 9.5 49.3 38.3 SE mean 2.05 1.79 4.76 5.08 50 25 29 (a) Calculate an upper confidence bound for the true average time that blackbirds spend on a single visit at the experimental location. (Use = 0.05. Round your answer to two decimal places.) sec (b) Does it appear that true average time spent by blackbirds at the experimental location exceeds the true average time birds of this type spend at the natural location? Carry out a test of appropriate hypotheses. (Use = 0.05.) State the relevant hypotheses. (Use for blackbirds at the experimental location and 2 for blackbirds at the natural location.) Ho: 1-2 = 0 Compute the test statistic and P-value. (Round your test statistic to two decimal places and your P-value to three decimal places.)

Explanation / Answer

95% confidence interval for the true average time that blackbirds spend on a single visit at the experimental location : x ± t1-,df*standard error

Where = 0.05 and df= n-1 = 49

t0.95,49=1.67655 (t critical value for the right tail because only the upper limit is calculated)

The upper confidence bound: 13.8 +1.67655 *2.05 = 17.2369 ~ 17.24

H0 : µ1 - µ2 = 0

H1: µ1 - µ2 < 0

t = [ (x1 - x2) ] / SE

SE = sqrt[ (s12/n1) + (s22/n2) ] = sqrt(2.052 + 1.792) = 2.721507

t = ( 13.8-9.5)/2.7121507 = 1.585458

DF = (s12/n1 + s22/n2)2 / { [ (s12 / n1)2 / (n1 - 1) ] + [ (s22 / n2)2 / (n2 - 1) ] }

= (2.052+1.792)2 / (2.054/49)+(1.794/24) ~ 69

p-value is calculated used R software:

> pt(-1.585458,df=69)

[1] 0.05871752

Since p-value(0.0587) > 0.05, we fail to reject H0. The data suggests the true average time spend by blackbirds at the experimental location does not exceed that of blackbirds at the natural location.

95% Confidence interval for the difference between the true average time blackbirds spend at the natural location and true average time that silvereyes spend at the natural location:

µblackbord - µsilvereyes ± t0.975,df * standard error

DF = (1.792+5.082)2 / (1.794/24)+(5.084/28) ~ 34

t0.975,df =1.69092 ( t critical value for two tail )

(9.5-38.3) ± 1.69092*sqrt(1.792+5.082) = (-33.2333, -24.3667)
