4. (Example 4) How hot is the air in the top (crown) of a hot air balloon? information from Ballooning: The
Complete Guide to Riding in the Winds, by Wirth and Young (Random house), claims that the air in the crown
should be an average (mean) of 100°C.What is a reasonable and safe range of temperatures? Suppose that
56 readings (for a balloon in equilibrium) gave a mean temperature of x = 97° C.For balloons of this type
o =17°C
Find a 60% confidence interval for the average temperature at which this balloon will be in steady-
state equilibrium.

2. (20) Are Men and Women Equal Talkers? A headline in USA Today proclaimed that “Men, women are equal talker.” The headline referred to a study of the numbers of words that samples of men and women spoke in a day. Data given below are the results from the study. Assume that thedata are from two independent normal populations.
Number of Words Spoken in a DayMen Womenn1 = 121 n2 = 101x1 = 18000 x2 = 17000s1 = 2000 s2 = 2500
Use a 10% level of significance, do a hypothesis test to determine whether or not the population variances are the same. (Hint: This is a two detailed F test. You need the conclusion here to make a choice between a pooled or a non-pooled t test for part (b).)
(10) Based on your conclusion in part (a), use a 1% level of significance to test the claim that men and women speak the same mean number of words in a day by using critical value approach, which means you need to do a two detailed t test to test whether or not men and women…
