Transcribed Image Text:Two different analytical tests can be used to determine the impurity level in steel alloys. Eight specimens
are tested using both procedures, and the results are shown in the following tabulation.

(a) Is a paired t-test appropriate for testing whether the means from the two tests are the same? Explain.
(b) Is there sufficient evidence to conclude that tests differ in the mean impurity level, using a = 0.05?
(c) Is there evidence to support the claim that test 1 generates a mean difference of 0.1 units lower than
test 2? Use a = 0.01.

For this experiment, a woman who exercised vigorously at least four times per week was considered "athletic". Flexibility is measured in inches on a sit & reach box. A researcher tested his claim using the following summary statistics: Athletic women Non-athletic women n = 50 * = 5.0 inches s=1.4 inches Assume that all conditions for testing have been met. t = 1.626; p = 0.057 ; At the 1% significance level, state your decision regarding the null hypothesis and your conclusion about the original claim. n = 30 * = 4.6 inches s= 0.8 inches O A. Fail to reject the null hypothesis; there is not strong enough evidence to suggest that athletic women are more flexible, on average, than non-athletic women. O B.
