Chapter 21, Problem 16E

Friday the 13th, accidents The researchers in Exercise 15 also examined the number of people admitted to emergency rooms for vehicular accidents on 12 Friday evenings (6 each on the 6th and 13th).

Chapter 21, Problem 16E, Friday the 13th, accidents The researchers in Exercise 15 also examined the number of people

Based on these data, is there evidence that more people are admitted, on average, on Friday the 13th? Here are two possible analyses of the data:

Paired t-Test of μ(1 – 2) = 0 vs. μ (1 – 2) < 0

Mean of Paired Differences = –3.333

t-Statistic = –2.7116 with 5 df

P = 0.0211

2-Sample t-Test of μ1 = μ2 vs. μ1 < μ2

Difference Between Means = –3.333

t-Statistic = –1.6644 with 9.940 df

P = 0.0636

  1. a) Which of these tests is appropriate for these data? Explain.
  2. b) Using the test you selected, state your conclusion.
  3. c) Are the assumptions and conditions for inference met?

explain the importance of the Hypothesis test in a business setting, and give an example of a situation where it is helpful in business decision making.
A college wants to estimate what students typically spend on textbooks. A report fromthe college bookstore observes that textbooks range in price from $22 to $186. Toobtain a 95% confidence level for a confidence interval estimate to plus or minus $10,how many students should the college survey? (We may estimate the populationstandard deviation as (range) ÷ 4.)
In a study of how students give directions, forty volunteers were given the task ofexplaining to another person how to reach a destination. Researchers measured thefollowing five aspects of the subjects’ direction-giving behavior:• whether a map was available or if directions were given from memory without a map,• the gender of the direction-giver,• the distances given as part of the directions,• the number of times directions such as “north” or “left” were used,• the frequency of errors in directions. Identify each of the variables in this study, and whether each is quantitative orqualitative. For each quantitative variable, state whether it is discrete or continuous. Was this an observational study or an experimental study? Explain your answer.
