Question

Using techniques from an earlier section, we can find a confidence interval for ?_d. Consider a random sample of n matched data pairs A, B. Let d = B − A be a random variable representing the difference between the values in a matched data pair. Compute the sample mean

of the differences and the sample standard deviation s_d. If d has a normal distribution or is mound-shaped, or if n ≥ 30, then a confidence interval for ?_d is as follows.

d − E < ?_d < d + E

where

E = t_c

where

E = t_c

s_d

c = confidence level (0 < c < 1)

t_c = critical value for confidence level c and d.f. = n − 1

B: Percent increase for company	28	28	8	18	6	4	21	37
A: Percent increase for CEO	16	26	14	14	−4	19	15	30

(a)

Using the data above, find a 95% confidence interval for the mean difference between percentage increase in company revenue and percentage increase in CEO salary. (Round your answers to two decimal places.)

Features Features Normal distribution is characterized by two parameters, mean (µ) and standard deviation (σ). When graphed, the mean represents the center of the bell curve and the graph is perfectly symmetric about the center. The mean, median, and mode are all equal for a normal distribution. The standard deviation measures the data's spread from the center. The higher the standard deviation, the more the data is spread out and the flatter the bell curve looks. Variance is another commonly used measure of the spread of the distribution and is equal to the square of the standard deviation.
