Question
Sample surveys conducted in a large county in a cer-
tain year and again 20 years later showed that originally
the average height of 400 ten-year-old boys was 53.8
inches with a standard deviation of 2.4 inches, whereas
20 years later the average height of 500 ten-year-old boys
was 54.5 inches with a standard deviation of 2.5 inches.
Use the four steps in the initial part of Section 1 and
the 0.05 level of significance to test the null hypothesis
μ1 − μ2 = −0.5 against the alternative hypothesis μ1 −
μ2 < −0.5.

If samples of 25 men are selected at random from the population, would the average height found for each sample be more or less varied than the individual measurements taken for each man?Barrow_forwardTree-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.

- To compare the dry braking distances from 30 to 0 miles per hour for two makes of automobiles, a safety engineer conducts braking tests for 35 models of Make A and 35 models of Make B. The mean braking distance for Make A is 42 feet. Assume the population standard deviation is 4.7 feet. The mean braking distance for Make B is 45 feet. Assume the population standard deviation is 4.4 feet. At a = 0.10, can the engineer support the claim that the mean braking distances are different for the two makes of automobiles? Assume the samples are random and independent, and the populations are normally distributed. Complete parts (a) rari rz (b) Find the critical value(s) and identify the rejection region(s).
