A researcher working at Hershey's is interested in comparing two new chocolate bars: Chocolate
Bar A versus Chocolate Bar B. The researcher expects the bars to be different in how much
customers will eat per month. The researcher believes the more candy bars someone eats will
indicate which one tastes the best. An experiment is designed to compare the two new bars. The
number of candy bars eaten by one group of 8 people in a month is measured with Candy Bar A
and then the number of candy bars eaten in the same month by another group of 8 participants
is measured with Candy Bar B. Use the data below to determine if there is a difference in the
consumption of the two candy bars.

- A manufacturer of automobile shock absorbers was interested in comparing the durability of its shock absorbers with that of the shock absorbers produced by its biggest competitor. To make the comparison, one of the manufacturer's and one of the competitor's shock absorbers were randomly selected and installed on the rear wheels of each of six cars. After the cars had been driven 20,000 kilometres, the strength of each test shock absorbers was measured, coded and recorded. It is given that the population variances are equal for both groups. The results of the examination are shown in the Table below. Manufacturer's shock absorbers Car number 1 8.8 Competitor's shock absorbers 8.4 10.1 2 10.5 3 12.5 12.0 4 9.7 9.3 5 9.6 9.0 6 13.2 13.0 Determine whether there is sufficient evidence to conclude that there is a difference in the mean strength of the two types of shock absorbers after 20,000 kilometres of use by using a level of significance of 0.05.arrow_forwardWe are interested in estimating the proportion of people that can identify Nebraska but not Vermont.

- At a research facility that designs rocket engines, researchers know that some engines fail to ignite as a result of fuel system error. From a random sample of 40 engines of one design, 14 failed to ignite as a result of fuel system error. From a random sample of 30 engines of a second design, 9 failed to ignite as a result of fuel system error. The researchers want to estimate the difference in the proportion of engine failures for the two designs. Which of the following is the most appropriate method to create the estimate? A one-sample zz-interval for a sample proportion A A one-sample zz-interval for a population proportion B A two-sample zz-interval for a population proportion C A two-sample zz-interval for a difference in sample proportions D A two-sample zz-interval for a difference in population proportionsarrow_forwardA survey of a random sample in an amusement park showed an average expenditure of $10.30 for the evening.
