Actuaries use various parameters when evaluating the cost of a life insurance policy. The variance of the life spans of a population is one of the parameters used for the evaluation. Each year, the actuaries at a particular insurance company randomly sample 30 people who died during the year (with the samples chosen independently from year to year) to see whether the variance of life spans has changed. The life span data from this year and from last year are summarized below. Current Last Year Year *1 = 75.8 x2 = 76.2 s3 = 47.61 s3= 92.16 (The first row gives the sample means and the second row gives the sample variances.) Assume that life spans are approximately normally distributed for each of the populations of people who died this year and people who died last year. Can we conclude, at the 0.05 significance level, that the variance of the life span for the current year, of, differs from the variance of the life span for last year, o,? Perform a two-tailed test.

HYPERTENSION. The data below was collected from over 200 infants at 1 month of age. In this study a research nurse visited the home of each child and took their blood pressure using a special apparatus for measuring infant bp. She also noted whether the infant was asleep or awake and whether or not the child was agitated when the bp was taken. Assuming equal variances, is there a significant mean difference in SBP between the quiet sleep infants and the awake and quiet infants? 1. What is the appropriate test to conduct in the above situation? 2. What is the degree of freedom? 3. What is the computed test statistic? 4. What is the correct conclusion for this test? 5. What can be implied from the conclusion above?
Two companies produce small motorcycles of varying quality. An important measure of quality is the top speed the motorcycle can obtain on a flat surface. Do the following data provide evidence that the average top speed of cycles from these two companies differ? Report the p-value to two decimal places. Do not assume equal variances.

A physical therapist wanted to know whether the mean step pulse of men was less than the mean step pulse of women. She randomly selected 50 men and 74 women to participate in the study. Each subject was required to step up and down a 6-inch platform. The pulse of each subject was then recorded. The following results were obtained. Two sample T for Men vs Women Mean N StDev SE Mean Men Women 95% Cl for mu Men - mu Women (- 10.67, - 1.13) T-Test mu Men = mu Women (vs H2 B. Ho: H1 = H2;
