One could check to see if the 90% confidence interval includes a difference of one.

Suppose you would like to determine if the mean score for the first round of a PGA Tour event is significantly different than the mean score for the fourth and final round. Does the pressure of playing in the final round cause scores to go up? Or does the increased player concentration cause scores to come down?
(a)
Use 
? = 0.10
 to test for a statistically significantly difference between the population means for first- and fourth-round scores.
State the null and alternative hypotheses. (Use ?d = mean score first round − mean score fourth round.)
H0:
 
?d ≠ 0

Ha:
 
?d = 0
H0:
 
?d = 0

Ha:
 
?d ≤ 0
    
H0:
 
?d > 0

Ha:
 
?d ≤ 0
H0:
 
?d ≤ 0

?d > 0
H0:
 
?d = 0

Ha:
 
?d ≠ 0
Calculate the value of the test statistic. (Round your answer to three decimal places.)
 
Calculate the p-value. (Round your answer to four decimal places.)

State your conclusion.
Reject H0. There is sufficient evidence to conclude that the mean score for the first round of a PGA Tour event is significantly different than the mean score for the fourth and final round.Reject H0.

(b)
What is the point estimate of the difference between the two population means? (Use mean score first round − mean score fourth round.)
 
For which round is the population mean score lower?
The mean of the fourth round scores was lower than the mean of the first round scores.The mean of the first round scores was lower than the mean of the fourth round scores.    
(c)
What is the margin of error for a 90% confidence interval estimate for the difference between the population means? (Round your answer to two decimal places.)
 
Could this confidence interval have been used to test the hypothesis in part (a)? Explain.
Yes. One could check to see if the 90% confidence interval includes a difference of zero. If the interval does not contain zero, the difference is not statistically significant.Yes.
