Question

The mean for life expectancy is 47.6 for White people who were born in 1900 and 33.0 for non-white people. Suppose you randomly sample the death records for people born in 1900 in a certain country. Of the 124 white people, the mean life span is 45.3 years and the standard deviation is 12.7 years. 82 of the non-white people have a mean life span of 34.1 and a standard deviation of 15.6 years. A hypothesis test is needed to see if the mean is the same for both countries for White and Non-White people. Is this a right, left or two-tailed test.

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 + ...
