Question

The question is #7 but i think we have to use the data from questin 37 ins section 9.3 so there screenshots attached

 

Use the large-sample version of the Wilcoxon test at
significance level .05 on the data of Exercise 37 in
Section 9.3 to decide whether the true mean difference
between outdoor and indoor concentrations exceeds .20.

36. Consider the accompanying data on breaking load
(kg/25 mm width) for various fabrics in both an
unabraded condition and an abraded condition ("The
Effect of Wet Abrasive Wear on the Tensile Properties
of Cotton and Polyester-Cotton Fabrics," J. Testing
and Evaluation, 1993: 84-93). Use the paired t test, as
did the authors of the cited article, to test Ho: p= 0
versus H₂: >0 at significance level .01.

inhalation carcinogen and an air toxin of concern in a
number of different locales. The article "Airborne
Hexavalent Chromium in Southwestern Ontario" (J.
of Air and Waste Mgmnt. Assoc., 1997: 905-910) gave
the accompanying data on both indoor and outdoor
concentration (nanograms/m³) for a sample of houses
selected from a certain region.

a. Calculate a confidence interval for the population
mean difference between indoor and outdoor con-
centrations using a confidence level of 95%, and
interpret the resulting interval.
b. If a 34th house were to be randomly selected from
the population, between what values would you pre-
dict the difference in concentrations to lie?
