Answer to Problem 11E

The hypothesis are H0:m1=m2 and H1:m1<m2 .

Explanation of Solution

Given information:

The level of significance is 0.05 and the given data is,

    Compact
    34.533.726.128.527.4
    30.631.128.033.033.0
    32.828.525.532.134.9
    Midsize
    21.621.129. 124.828.5
    28.121.922.520.526.1

Calculations:

The hypothesis are,

  H0: The median mileage is not less for compact car than for the midsize car.

  H1: The median mileage is less for compact car than for the midsize car.

Therefore, the hypothesis are H0:m1=m2 and H1:m1<m2 .

Answer to Problem 11E

The value of test statistic is 3.24 .

Explanation of Solution

Given information:

The level of significance is 0.05 and the given data is,

    Compact
    34.533.726.128.527.4
    30.631.128.033.033.0
    32.828.525.532.134.9
    Midsize
    21.621.129. 124.828.5
    28.121.922.520.526.1

The sum of rank of compact car is 253.5 and the rank of midsize car is 71.5 .

The sum of smaller rank is S=71.5 and the sample size are n1=10 and n2=15 .

The value of μs is,

  μs=n1(n1+n2+1)2

Substitute the values in above equation.

  μs=( 10)( 10+15+1)2=2602=130

The value of μs is,

  σs=n1n2( n 1 + n 2 +1)12

Substitute the values in above equation.

  σs= ( 15 )( 10 )( 10+15+1 ) 12= 3900 12=18.028

The z- value is,

  z=Sμsσs

Substitute the values in above equation.

  z=71.513018.028=3.24

Therefore, the value of test statistics is 3.24 .

Answer to Problem 11E

The p-valueis 0.0006 .

Explanation of Solution

Given information:

The level of significance is 0.05 and the given data is,

    Compact
    34.533.726.128.527.4
    30.631.128.033.033.0
    32.828.525.532.134.9
    Midsize
    21.621.129. 124.828.5
    28.121.922.520.526.1

Calculations:

From the table of cumulative normal distribution the p-value corresponding to z-value is 0.0006 .

Therefore, the p-value is 0.0006 .

Answer to Problem 11E

The median mileage is less for compact car than for the midsize car.

Explanation of Solution

Given information:

The level of significance is 0.05 and the given data is,

    Compact
    34.533.726.128.527.4
    30.631.128.033.033.0
    32.828.525.532.134.9
    Midsize
    21.621.129. 124.828.5
    28.121.922.520.526.1

Calculations:

Since, the p-value is 0.0006 which less than 0.05 .

Thus, the hypothesis H0 is rejected.

Therefore, the median mileage is less for compact car than for the midsize car.
