Question
A man who moves to a new city sees that there are two routes he could take to work. A neighbor who has lived there a long time tells him Route A will average 5 minutes faster than Route B. The man decides to experiment. Each day he flips a coin to determine which way to go, driving each route 10days. He finds that Route A takes an average of
50 minutes, with standard deviation 1 minute, and Route B takes an average of 52 minutes, with standard deviation
4 minutes. Histograms of travel times for the routes are roughly symmetric and show no outliers.
a) Find a 95% confidence interval for the difference between the Route B and Route A commuting times,
μB−μA.
The confidence interval is

- You are a paranoid delusional statistician with far too much time on your hands. One day, you sit down to have a bowl of soup.

You jump out of your seat and run to get your x-ray-proof cape, and then you pause for a moment and think that you should calculate a chi-square statistic for the frequency of X-shaped noodles before freaking out. First, you carefully separate each of the noodles by shape and count them. Here is what you find: Frequency of Noodles X-shaped O-shaped 33 21 1.
