a.

Answer to Problem 14E
The conclusion is that there is no significant difference in mean time from entry to first stroke for the two entry.
Explanation of Solution
The data based on the water entry time to the first stroke for Flat and hole.
1.
Consider μd is the mean difference in the time from the water entry to first stroke.
2.
The null hypothesis is given below:
Null hypothesis:
H0:μd=0
That is, the mean time from entry to first stroke is same for the two entry methods.
3.
The alternative hypothesis is given below:
Alternative hypothesis:
Ha:μd≠0
That is, the mean time from entry to first stroke is not same for the two entry methods.
4.
Test statistic:
Here, the test statistic is signed-rank sum.
5.
Critical value:
Here, the test is one-tailed test with n=10.
From Chapter 16 Appendix Table 2, the critical-value for n=10 with α=0.01 is 45.
Rejection rule:
If Signed-rank sum≥45(=Critical value) or Signed-rank sum≤−45(=−Critical value), then the null hypothesis is rejected.
6.
Calculation:
The difference is obtained below:
Swimmer | Hole | Flat | Difference |
1 | 1.18 | 1.06 | 0.12 |
2 | 1.1 | 1.23 | –0.13 |
3 | 1.31 | 1.2 | 0.11 |
4 | 1.12 | 1.19 | –0.07 |
5 | 1.12 | 1.29 | –0.17 |
6 | 1.23 | 1.09 | 0.14 |
7 | 1.27 | 1.09 | 0.18 |
8 | 1.08 | 1.33 | –0.25 |
9 | 1.26 | 1.27 | –0.01 |
10 | 1.27 | 1.38 | –0.11 |
Ordering the absolute differences results in the following assignment of signed ranks.
Difference | Signed Rank |
0.01 | –1 |
0.07 | –2 |
0.11 | –3.5 |
0.11 | 3.5 |
0.12 | 5 |
0.13 | –6 |
0.14 | 7 |
0.17 | –8 |
0.18 | 9 |
0.25 | –10 |
The test statistic is,
Signed-rank sum=−1−2−3.5+3.5+5−6+7−8+9−10=−6
Thus, the test statistic is –6.
7.
Conclusion:
Here, the signed-rank sum is greater than the critical value.
That is, −6(=Signed-rank sum)≥−45(=−Critical value).
By the rejection rule, the null hypothesis is not rejected.
Thus, there is no significant difference in mean time from entry to first stroke for the two entry.

2.
The null hypothesis is given below:
Null hypothesis:
H0:μd=0
That is, the mean initial velocity is same for the two entry methods.
3.
The alternative hypothesis is given below:
Alternative hypothesis:
Ha:μd≠0
That is, the mean initial velocity is not same for the two entry methods.

Rejection rule:
If Signed-rank sum≥45(=Critical value) or Signed-rank sum≤−45(=−Critical value), then the null hypothesis is rejected.
6.
Calculation:
The difference is obtained below:
Swimmer | Hole | Flat | Difference |
1 | 24 | 25.1 | –1.1 |
2 | 22.5 | 22.4 | 0.1 |
3 | 21.6 | 24 | –2.4 |
4 | 21.4 | 22.4 | –1 |
5 | 20.9 | 23.9 | –3 |
6 | 20.8 | 21.7 | –0.9 |
7 | 22.4 | 23.8 | –1.4 |
8 | 22.9 | 22.9 | 0 |
9 | 23.3 | 25 | –1.7 |
10 | 20.7 | 19.5 | 1.2 |
Ordering the absolute differences results in the following assignment of signed ranks.
Difference | Signed Rank |
0 | - |
0.1 | 1 |
0.9 | –2 |
1 | –3 |
1.1 | –4 |
1.2 | 5 |
1.4 | –6 |
1.7 | –7 |
2.4 | –8 |
3 | –9 |
The test statistic is,
Signed-rank sum=1−2−3−4+5−6−7−8−9=−33
Thus, the test statistic is –33.
7.
Conclusion:
Here, the signed-rank sum is greater than the critical value.
That is, −33(=Signed-rank sum)≥−45(=−Critical value).
By the rejection rule, the null hypothesis is not rejected.
Thus, there is no evidence that the data suggest a difference in mean initial velocity for the two entry methods.

Each time the wheel is spun, the result is one of the outcomes 0, 1, and so on through 36. Of these outcomes, 18 are red, 18 are black, and 1 is green. On each spin you bet $5 that a red outcome will occur and $1 that the green outcome will occur. If red occurs, you win a net $4. (You win $10 from red and nothing from green.) If green occurs, you win a net $24. (You win $30 from green and nothing from red.) If black occurs, you lose everything you bet for a loss of $6. a. Use simulation to generate 1,000 plays from this strategy. Each play should indicate the net amount won or lost. Then, based on these outcomes, calculate a 95% confidence interval for the total net amount won or lost from 1,000 plays of the game.
