Question
The following data lists the ages of a random selection of actresses when they won an award in the category of Best Actress, along with the ages of actors when they won in the category of Best Actor. The ages are matched according to the year
that the awards were presented. Complete parts (a) and (b) below.

a. Use the sample data with a 0.01 significance level to test the claim that for the population of ages of Best Actresses and Best Actors, the differences have a mean less than 0 (indicating that the Best Actresses are generally younger than Best
Actors).
In this example, µa 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 actress's age minus the actor's age. What are the null and alternative hypotheses for the
hypothesis test?
Ho: Hd
year(s)
H1: Hd
year(s)
(Type integers or decimals. Do not round.)
Identify the test statistic.
t =
(Round to two decimal places as needed.)
Identify the P-value.
P-value =
(Round to three decimal places as needed.)
What is the conclusion based on the hypothesis test?
Since the P-value is
the significance level,
the null hypothesis. There
sufficient evidence to support the claim that actresses are generally younger when they won the award than actors.
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)?
The confidence interval is year(s)< H
year(s).
(Round to one decimal place as needed.)
What feature of the confidence interval leads to the same conclusion reached in part (a)?
Since the confidence interval contains
the null hypothesis.

The given data for matches of ages of actors and actresses when the awards were presented are listed below:

Actress Actor
29 67
26 33
30 35
32 34
32 28
26 36
28 55
39 39
32 41
