Kala has two ways to travel from her home in Norco to her office in Los Angeles. One is to go via the 10 Freeway, and the other is to go via 60 Freeway. In order
to determine which way she should travel on a daily basis, Kala has recorded the travel times for samples of fourteen trips via the 10 Freeway and fourteen trips
via the 60 Freeway. The following table gives the travel times (in minutes) for the twenty-eight trips.
Travel times in minutes
10 Freeway 67, 71, 69, 67, 74, 73, 70, 76, 74, 74, 69, 75, 67, 73
60 Freeway 75, 69, 69, 78, 75, 75, 71, 79, 81, 76, 77, 70, 74, 74

the mean
vel time via the 10 freeway, is different from µ,, the mean travel time via the 60
freeway?
Perform a two-tailed test. Then complete the parts below.

A statistics teacher asked two different students, Lexie and Jennifer, to go to Wegmans and sample 30 shoppers each. The population of interest for both people can be defined as, “People who shop at the Johnson City, NY Wegmans store”. Here is what each person did to collect their sample:
Lexie: She stood outside at the entrance to the store on 3 different days and times and surveyed every 15th person to walk by her. She surveyed 10 people each time to get her 30.
Jennifer: She went to Wegmans after her nursing shift first thing Wednesday morning to buy deodorant since she ran out. When she was in the pharmacy area she surveyed all the people around her and then, to get up to 30 surveys, she went to the health food section and surveyed everyone she was there.
Identify at least 2 specific reasons why Lexie’s approach is more likely to give a representative sample. Consider sources of bias, or types of shoppers who might be excluded by Jennifer’s approach.…
