Textbook Question
Chapter 12.3, Problem 10E
Two computers often are compared by running a collection of various “benchmark” programs and recording the difference in CPU time required to complete the same program. Six benchmark programs, run on two computers, produced the following table of CPU times (in minutes).
- a Do the data provide sufficient evidence to indicate a difference in
mean CPU times required for the two computers to complete a job? Test using α = .05. - b Give bounds for the associated p-value.
- c Find a 95% confidence interval for the difference in mean CPU time required for the two computers to complete a job.

(a) Estimate the factor effects. Plot the effect estimates on a normal probability scale.
(b) Identify a tentative model for this process. Fit the model and test for curvature.
(c) Plot the residuals from the model in part (b) versus the predicted resistivity. Is there any indication on
this plot of model inadequacy?
(d) Construct a normal probability plot of the residuals. Is there any reason to doubt the validity of the
normality assumption?

The CLT provides an approximate sampling distribution for the arithmetic average Ỹ of a random sample Y₁, . . ., Yn f(y). The parameters of the approximate sampling distribution depend on the mean and variance of the underlying random variables (i.e., the population mean and variance). The approximation can be written to emphasize this, using the expec- tation and variance of one of the random variables in the sample instead of the parameters μ, 02: YNEY, · (1 (EY,, varyi n For the following population distributions f, write the approximate distribution of the sample mean.
