Question

A study compared tooth health and periodontal damage in a group of 40 young adult males with a tongue piercing and a control group of 50 young adult males without tongue piercing.  Here are the summary statistics:

Group

Sample size

Mean of enamel cracks

StDev of enamel cracks

Tongue piercing

40

4.1

3.7

No Tongue piercing

50

1.3

1.6

 

  • For the Tongue Piercing Group, find a 95% confidence interval for the mean of enamel cracks of young adult males with a tongue piercing. Interpret your interval with the context.

 

Which method will you use here to find you interval?

  1. 1-sample T interval
  2. 2-sample T interval
  3. 2-sample Z test.
  4. 2-proportion Z test

 

             Interpret your interval with the context.
