(b) In various places in this module, data on the silver content of coins
minted in the reign of the twelfth-century Byzantine king Manuel I
Comnenus have been considered. The full dataset is in the Minitab file
coins.mwx. The dataset includes, among others, the values of the
silver content of nine coins from the first coinage (variable Coin1) and
seven from the fourth coinage (variable Coin4) which was produced a
number of years later. (For the purposes of this question, you can
ignore the variables Coin2 and Coin3.) In particular, in Activity 8 and
Exercise 2 of Computer Book B, it was argued that the silver contents
in both the first and the fourth coinages can be assumed to be normally
distributed. The question of interest is whether there were differences in
the silver content of coins minted early and late in Manuel’s reign. You
are about to investigate this question using a two-sample t-interval.
(i) Using Minitab, find either the sample standard deviations of the
two variables Coin1 and Coin4, or their sample variances. Hence
check for equality of variances using the rule of thumb given in
Subsection 4.4 of Unit 8. [3]
(ii) Whatever the outcome of part (c)(i), use Minitab to obtain a 90%
two-sample t-interval for the difference E(X1) − E(X4), where X1
denotes the silver content in coins of the first coinage, and X4
denotes the silver content in coins of the fourth coinage. State that
interval and comment briefly on what it tells us about the silver
content of coins in the earlier and later coinages. [3]
(iii) Name the distribution used in constructing the confidence interval
in part (c)(ii), state the value of its parameter, and show why the
parameter takes the value that it does. [2]
(iv) What would have been the outcome if you had obtained a 90%
two-sample t-interval for E(X4) − E(X1) instead of
for E(X1) − E(X4)? Justify your conclusion in terms of the
derivative of the parameter transformation involved. [3
