Question

Do men have a higher body temperature than women?

Test the indicated claim about the means  of two populations. Assume that the two samples are randomly selected, independent, the population standard deviations are not know and not considered equal. The table shows results from a study of body temperatures of men and women. At the 0.05 significance level, test the claim that men have a higher body temperature than women.

xˉx̄1 = 97 °F xˉx̄2 = 95.17 °F
s1 = 0.26 °F s2 = 0.57 °F



What are the correct hypotheses? (Select the correct symbols and use decimal values not percentages.)

Based on the hypotheses, find the following:

Test Statistic =  (Round to three decimal places.)

Critical value(s) =  (Round to three decimal places.)

Shade the sampling distribution curve with the correct critical value(s) and shade the critical regions. The arrows can only be dragged to t-scores that are accurate to 1 place after the decimal point (these values correspond to the tick marks on the horizontal axis). Select from the drop down menu to shade to the left, to the right, between or left and right of the t-score(s).

Expert Solution
Step 1

Given:

n1=13n2=16x¯1=97x¯2=95.17s1=0.26s2=0.57α=0.05

The correct test hypothesis are,

H0: μ1- μ2 =0

H1: μ1- μ2 > 0

This is an upper tailed test.

We reject the null hypothesis if t-value > t-critical value.

Step 2

The test statistic is computed as,

t=x¯1-x¯2s12n1+s22n2 =97-95.170.26213+0.57216 =11.4585

df=s12n1+s22n22s12n12n1-1+s22n12n2-1 =0.26213+0.5721620.26213213-1+0.57216216-1 =21.8731
