Question

Each person in random samples of 227 male and 263 female working adults living in a certain town in Canada was asked how long, in minutes, his or her typical daily commute was. (Use a statistical computer package to calculate the P-value. Use ?_males − ?_females. Round your test statistic to two decimal places, your df to the nearest whole number and your P-value to three decimal places.)

Males	Females
Sample size	x	s	Sample size	x	s
227	30.6	24.0	263	28.3	24.3

t	=
df	=
P	=

Is there enough evidence to show that there is a difference in mean commute times for male and female working residents of this town? Use a significance level of 0.05.

Yes or No

Definition Definition Measure of central tendency that is the average of a given data set. The mean value is evaluated as the quotient of the sum of all observations by the sample size. The mean, in contrast to a median, is affected by extreme values. Very large or very small values can distract the mean from the center of the data. Arithmetic mean: The most common type of mean is the arithmetic mean. It is evaluated using the formula: μ = 1 N ∑ i = 1 N x i Other types of means are the geometric mean, logarithmic mean, and harmonic mean. Geometric mean: The nth root of the product of n observations from a data set is defined as the geometric mean of the set: G = x 1 x 2 ... x n n Logarithmic mean: The difference of the natural logarithms of the two numbers, divided by the difference between the numbers is the logarithmic mean of the two numbers. The logarithmic mean is used particularly in heat transfer and mass transfer. ln x 2 − ln x 1 x 2 − x 1 Harmonic mean: The inverse of the arithmetic mean of the inverses of all the numbers in a data set is the harmonic mean of the data. 1 1 x 1 + 1 x 2 + ...
