Question
Listed below are time intervals (min) between eruptions of a geyser. Assume that the "recent" times are within the past few years, the "past" times are from around 20 years ago, and that the two samples are independent simple random samples selected from normally distributed populations. Do not assume that the population standard deviations are equal. Does it appear that the mean time interval has changed? Is the conclusion affected by whether the significance level is

- Tree-ring dates were used extensively in archaeological studies at Burnt Mesa Pueblo. At one site on the mesa, tree-ring dates (for many samples) gave a mean date of ?1 = year 1261 with standard deviation ?1 = 38 years. At a second, removed site, the tree-ring dates gave a mean of ?2 = year 1100 with standard deviation ?2 = 35 years. Assume that both sites had dates that were approximately normally distributed. In the first area, an object was found and dated as x1 = year 1207. In the second area, another object was found and dated as x2 = year 1244. (a) Convert both x1 and x2 to z values, and locate both of these values under the standard normal curve of the figure above.

Researchers suspect that in recent years, the mean amount of daily precipitation has changed, so they plan to obtain data for a random sample of 195 days over the past five years and use this data to conduct a one-sample ?z‑test of ?0:?=2.4H0:μ=2.4 mm against ?1:?≠2.4H1:μ≠2.4 mm, where ?μ is the mean daily precipitation for the last five years. Although they realize that rainfall does not follow a normal distribution, they feel safe using a ?z‑test because the sample size is large. The researchers want to know what the power of this test is to reject the null hypothesis at significance level ?=0.05α=0.05 if the actual mean daily precipitation is 2.6 mm or more. Computing power by hand requires two steps. The first step is to use a significance level of 0.05 to determine the values of the sample mean for which they will reject their null…arrow_forwardAccording to the Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), the mean life expectancy in 2015 for non‑Hispanic black females was 78.1 years. Assume that the standard deviation was 15 years, as suggested by the Bureau of Economic Research. The distribution of age at death, ?, is not normal because it is skewed to the left. Nevertheless, the distribution of the mean, x¯, in all possible samples of size ?n is approximately normal if ? is large enough, by the central limit theorem. Let x¯ be the mean life expectancy in a sample of 100 non‑Hispanic black females. Determine the interval centered at the population mean ? such that 95% of sample means x¯ will fall in the interval.

The following data for 10 firstborn sons and 10 secondborn sons are consistent with the means and standard deviations reported in the article. It is reasonable to assume that the samples come from populations that are approximately normal. Can you conclude that the mean IQ of firstborn sons is greater than the mean IQ of secondborn sons?
