Question

Scores on an English test from 30 students in Class One has a mean of 33 and a standard deviation of 7.2. Scores on an English test from 40 students in Class Two has a mean of 39 and a standard deviation of 5.5. Assuming the two classes are independent, construct a 90%
confidence interval for difference between the mean scores for Class One and Class Two. Round your answer to 3 decimal places. Base on the confidence interval, what conclusion can you draw?

Group of answer choices

(-8.530,-3.470) Group 2 is bigger

(-8.530,-3.470) Group 1 is bigger

(-8.639,-3.361) No conclusion

(-8.639,-3.361) Group 2 is bigger

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 + ...
