Question

Test A was developed as a possible replacement for Test B. It was claimed that the mean time to complete Test A was more than the mean time to finish Test B.

(a) At α = 5%, use the Classical approach to conclude it.

(b) Using the P-value approach to conclude it.

Please see a summary of data for completion times below:

Test A : n=7, X bar=158 minutes, S²=165 minutes

Test B : n=11 X bar=152 minutes, S²=33 minutes

Estimate of standard error=16

**Notes-P-value: Using t-distribution, the p-value is equal to 0.1307 for a one-tailed test. P-value 0.1307> significance level a=0.10, therefore, we fail to reject. Additionally, there is not enough evidence to support the claim that mean time to complete the new test A is more than the meantime to complete test B.

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 + ...
