Most of the normal scores are also given: Length(cm): 26.1 26.4 27.0 27.0 27.2 27.3 27.3 27.7 27.9 28.4 28.5 29.1 -0.812 -0.549 -0.319 -0.105 0.105 0.319 0.549 0.812 Z-scores: (a) Calculate the missing normal scores (the first two and the last two). (b) Now construct a q-q plot (normal probability plot). Do this by hand.

(a) Which test (problem (3) or problem (4)) lets you reject the null hypothesis?
(b) Which test do you *think* has more power?
30 Wh
Usually, but not always(!!), the test with the most power has a lower p-value.
(c) If you don't know that the population variances are equal, which test should you use?
(d) Which test should you use here? (Refer to (c)).
Big hint and comment:
This is an example of when the classic (= equal variance) t-test can make a serious mistake. Rejecting a
null hypothesis when it is not appropriate is a pretty serious mistake. Note also that the sample sizes are
very different.
(If you're theoretically inclined, here's what happens: even though we set α = 0.05, the classic t-test
makes a type I error at a much higher rate than 5%. In other words, despite setting α = 0.05, the actual
value of a 0.05, which is obviously not good!)
6) Match the q-q plots on the next page with the appropriate letter:
(A) skewed left
(D) long tailed but symmetrical
(B) skewed right
(E) short tailed

(C) approximately normal
