Question

In each of Exercises 10.33–10.38, we have provided summary statistics for independent simple random samples from two populations. In each case, use the pooled t-test and the pooled t interval procedure to conduct the required hypothesis test and obtain the specied condence interval.

10.34) x¯1 = 10, s1 = 4, n1 = 15, x¯2 = 12, s2 = 5, n2 = 15

a. Two-tailed test, = 0.05

b. 95% condence interval

10.36) x¯1 = 20, s1 = 4, n1 = 10, x¯2 = 23, s2 = 5, n2 = 15

a. Left-tailed test, = 0.05

b. 90% condence interval

10.38) x¯1 = 20, s1 = 4, n1 = 30, x¯2 = 18, s2 = 5, n2 = 40

a. Right-tailed test, = 0.05

b. 90% condence interval

Explanation / Answer

CI = x1 - x2 ± t a/2 * S * Sqrt ( 1 / n1 + 1 /n2 )
Where,
x1 = Mean of Sample 1, x2 = Mean of sample2
sd1 = SD of Sample 1, sd2 = SD of sample2
a = 1 - (Confidence Level/100)
ta/2 = t-table value
CI = Confidence Interval
Mean(x1)=10
Standard deviation( sd1 )=4
Sample Size(n1)=15
Mean(x2)=12
Standard deviation( sd2 )=2
Sample Size(n1)=15
Value Pooled variance S^2= (n1-1*s1^2 + n2-1*s2^2 )/(n1+n2-2)
S^2 = (14*16 + 14*4) / (30- 2 )
S^2 = 10
S = 3.162
CI = [ ( 10-12) ± t a/2 * S * Sqrt( 1/15+1/15)]
= [ (-2) ± t a/2 * 3.162 * 0.3651 ]
= [ (-2) ± 2.145 * 1.1544 ]
= [-2 ± 2.4762] = [ -4.4762, 0.4762 ]
