Part B: Apparatus Finals
Lets now look at the floor exercise scores in the Female Apparatus Finals and in the Male
Apparatus Finals.
a) Find the sample mean and sample standard deviation for the floor exercise scores in
the Female Apparatus Finals.
b) Find the sample mean and sample standard deviation for the floor exercise scores in
the Male Apparatus Finals.
c) Based on statistical data, can we infer at the 5% significance level that female gym-
nasts have a higher population mean floor exercise score in the Apparatus Finals than
male gymnasts? (Hint: Use the results of a) and b) and apply the t-test for difference
of population means).
d) Is your conclusion in part c) for the Apparatus Finals consistent with your conclusion
for the Individual All-Around Finals from Part A? Explain.
e) Consider the requirements for a t-test for difference of population means and deter-
mine if it was reasonable to proceed with the t-test in part c). (Hint: Consider the
sample sizes for female gymnasts and male gymnasts. Then, consider the normal
quantile plots for female floor scores and male floor scores given below. You can read
more about normal quantile plots in 6.5 Assessing Normality in the textbook.)
