Textbook Question
Chapter 10, Problem 86CP
How often do you feel sad? A recent General Social Survey asked, “How many days in the past seven days have you felt sad?” Software comparing results for men and women who responded showed the following results.
Difference = μ(Female) − μ(Male)
Estimate for difference: 0.390
95% CI for difference: (0.193, 0.587)
T-Test of difference = 0 (vs ≠):
T-Value = 3.88 P-Value = 0.000 DF = 1403
- a. Explain how to interpret the P-value. Do you think that the population
means may be equal? Why? - b. Explain how to interpret the confidence interval for the difference between the population means. What do you learn from the confidence interval that you cannot learn from the test?
- c. What assumptions are made for these inferences? Can you tell from the summary statistics shown whether any of the assumptions is seriously violated? What’s the effect?

A researcher wonders whether younger mothers have babies that are significantly heavier or
lighter than the population average of μ 7.25 pounds. The researcher collects data from N
= 35 babies who were born to mothers between the ages of 16 and 18. The average weight
for these babies was M = 7.15 pounds (SD = .6 pounds).
