6.24 Sleep deprivation, CA vs. OR, Part II. Exercise 6.22 provides data on sleep deprivation rates of Californians and Oregonians. The proportion of California residents who reported insufficient rest or sleep during each of the preceding 30 days is 8.0%, while this proportion is 8.8% for Oregon residents. These data are based on simple random samples of 11,545 California and 4,691 Oregon residents.
(a) Conduct a hypothesis test to determine if these data provide strong evidence the rate of sleep deprivation is different for the two states. (Reminder: Check conditions)
(b) It is possible the conclusion of the test in part (a) is incorrect. If this is the case, what type of error was made?
As a result of dog breeding for certain physical traits, many dog breeds have changed in the last 100 years. A dog breeder wants to measure the effects of breeding on the face length of the boxer breed using a hypothesis test. Suppose that the dog breeder has face length measurements (in inches) from a random sample of 40 female boxer dogs taken in 1915 and a random sample of 40 female boxer dogs taken in 2015.
Which type of hypothesis test should the breeder use?
