Explanation of Solution
The level of significance is 0.05.Since, we want to conduct a test of the claim that population mean time lost due to stressors is greater than the population mean time lost due to intimidators. Therefore the null hypothesis is

Answer to Problem 22P
Solution: We can use student’s t distribution. The sample test statisticis
Explanation of Solution
Calculation:
Let’s assume that the population distributions of time lost due to intimidators and time lost due to stressors are each mound shape and approximately symmetrical. The population standard deviation (
Using
The sample test statistic t is calculated as follows:

Answer to Problem 22P
Solution: There is not enough evidence to conclude that population mean time lost due to stressors is greater than the population mean time lost due to intimidators.

Answer to Problem 22P
Solution:
The 90% confidence interval for the difference of two means is
Explanation of Solution
Calculation:
The critical t-value for a two-tailed area of 0.10 is 1.943.
The difference of two means is
Now, the margin of error is computed as follows:
Now the confidence interval for the difference of two means;
The confidence interval for the difference of two means is
Interpretation:
At the 90% confidence level, we see that the difference of means

Understanding Basic Statistics
- (b) In various places in this module, data on the silver content of coins minted in the reign of the twelfth-century Byzantine king Manuel I Comnenus have been considered. The full dataset is in the Minitab file coins.mwx. The dataset includes, among others, the values of the silver content of nine coins from the first coinage (variable Coin1) and seven from the fourth coinage (variable Coin4) which was produced a number of years later. (For the purposes of this question, you can ignore the variables Coin2 and Coin3.) In particular, in Activity 8 and Exercise 2 of Computer Book B, it was argued that the silver contents in both the first and the fourth coinages can be assumed to be normally distributed. The question of interest is whether there were differences in the silver content of coins minted early and late in Manuel’s reign. You are about to investigate this question using a two-sample t-interval.
