Question

Listed below are the numbers of words spoken in a day by each member of eight different randomly selected couples. Complete parts (a) and (b) below.

Male	16,132	25,686	1377	7612	18,327	15,178	13,854	26,712
Female	24,950	13,521	18,371	17,932	12,761	17,477	16,747	18,826

a. Use a 0.01 significance level to test the claim that among couples, males speak fewer words in a day than females.

In this example, μd is the mean value of the differences d for the population of all pairs of data, where each individual difference d is defined as the words spoken by the male minus words spoken by the female. What are the null and alternative hypotheses for the hypothesis test?

Identify the test statistic.

Identify the P-value.

What is the conclusion based on the hypothesis test?

b. Construct the confidence interval that could be used for the hypothesis test described in part (a). What feature of the confidence interval leads to the same conclusion reached in part (a)?

What feature of the confidence interval leads to the same conclusion reached in part (a)?

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 + ...
