Question

A group of n = 10 students wants to know if the commuting time from home to college by bus is less than the commuting time by car. For this, each of them recorded the time spent using each means of transport. Recorded travel times are shown below. Each pair of values refers to a student, the first value being the time spent by car and the second by bus (both in minutes). Carry out an appropriate hypothesis test at the α=6% significance level.

studen	1	2	3	4	5	6	7	8	9	10
Car	17	20	10	25	20	18	10	20	20	10
bus	12	15	12	18	22	10	12	22	15	12
Difference	5	5	-2	7	-2	8	-2	-2	5	-2

a. What range of values is the p-value in?

b. Is there evidence to reject H0 with the adopted significance level?

Definition Definition Measure of central tendency that is the average of a given data set. The mean value is evaluated as the quotient of the sum of all observations by the sample size. The mean, in contrast to a median, is affected by extreme values. Very large or very small values can distract the mean from the center of the data. Arithmetic mean: The most common type of mean is the arithmetic mean. It is evaluated using the formula: μ = 1 N ∑ i = 1 N x i Other types of means are the geometric mean, logarithmic mean, and harmonic mean. Geometric mean: The nth root of the product of n observations from a data set is defined as the geometric mean of the set: G = x 1 x 2 ... x n n Logarithmic mean: The difference of the natural logarithms of the two numbers, divided by the difference between the numbers is the logarithmic mean of the two numbers. The logarithmic mean is used particularly in heat transfer and mass transfer. ln x 2 − ln x 1 x 2 − x 1 Harmonic mean: The inverse of the arithmetic mean of the inverses of all the numbers in a data set is the harmonic mean of the data. 1 1 x 1 + 1 x 2 + ...
