Output using the MINITAB software is given below:

BASIC PRACTICE OF STATISTICS(REISSUE)>C, Chapter 24, Problem 24.58SE , additional homework tip  2

Yes, it appears that potentials in the two groups differ in a systematic way.

Explanation of Solution

Given info:

The data shows the measured the difference in electrical potential between the Diabetic Mice and Normal Mice.

Calculation:

Stemplot for Diabetic Mice:

Software procedure:

Step by step procedure to construct Stemplot for Diabetic Mice by using the MINITAB software:

  • Choose Graph > Stem-and-Leaf.
  • In Graph variables, enter the column of Diabetic Mice.
  • Click OK.

Observation:

From Stemplot for Diabetic Mice, it is clear that the left side of the stemplot extended larger than the right side of the stemplot. Hence, the distribution of the Diabetic Mice is left-skewed with one low outlier.

Stemplot for Normal Mice:

Software procedure:

Step by step procedure to construct Stemplot for Normal Mice by using the MINITAB software:

  • Choose Graph > Stem-and-Leaf.
  • In Graph variables, enter the column of Normal Mice.
  • Click OK.

Observation:

From Stemplot for Normal Mice, it is clear that the right side of the stemplot extended same as in the left side of the stemplot. Hence, the distribution of the Normal Mice is symmetric.

Justification:

From the Stemplot for Diabetic Mice and Normal Mice, it can be observed that the distribution of the two groups is symmetric without considering the outliers. Hence, it appears that potentials in the two groups differ in a systematic way.

Answer to Problem 24.58SE

The conclusion is that, there is a significant difference in mean potentials between the two groups.

Explanation of Solution

Calculation:

PLAN:

Check whether or not there is a significant difference in mean potentials between the two groups.

State the test hypotheses.

Null hypothesis:

H0:μ1=μ2

Alternative hypothesis:

Ha:μ1μ2

SOLVE:

Test statistic and P-value:

Software procedure:

Step by step procedure to obtain test statistic and P-value using the MINITAB software:

  • Choose Stat > Basic Statistics > 2-Sample t.
  • Choose Sample in different columns.
  • In First, enter the column of Diabetic Mice.
  • In Second, enter the column of Normal Mice.
  • Choose Options.
  • In Confidence level, enter 95.
  • In Alternative, select not equal.
  • Click OK in all the dialogue boxes.

Output using the MINITAB software is given below:

BASIC PRACTICE OF STATISTICS(REISSUE)>C, Chapter 24, Problem 24.58SE , additional homework tip  3

From the MINITAB output, the value of the t-statistic is 3.08 and the P-value is 0.004.

CONCLUDE:

The P-value is 0.004 and the significance level is 0.05.

Here, the P-value is less than the significance level.

That is, 0.004(=P-value)<0.05(=α) .

Therefore, by the rejection rule, it can be concluded that there is evidence to reject H0 at α=0.05 .

Thus, there is a significant difference in mean potentials between the two groups.

Answer to Problem 24.58SE

The conclusion is that, there is a significant difference in mean potentials between the two groups.

No, the outlier does not affect the conclusion.

Explanation of Solution

Calculation:

Check whether or not there is a significant difference in mean potentials between the two groups.

State the test hypotheses.

Null hypothesis:

H0:μ1=μ2

Alternative hypothesis:

Ha:μ1μ2

SOLVE:

Test statistic and P-value:

Software procedure:

Step by step procedure to obtain test statistic and P-value without outlier using the MINITAB software:

  • Choose Stat > Basic Statistics > 2-Sample t.
  • Choose Sample in different columns.
  • In First, enter the column of Diabetic Mice.
  • In Second, enter the column of Normal Mice.
  • Choose Options.
  • In Confidence level, enter 95.
  • In Alternative, select not equal.
  • Click OK in all the dialogue boxes.

Output using the MINITAB software is given below:

BASIC PRACTICE OF STATISTICS(REISSUE)>C, Chapter 24, Problem 24.58SE , additional homework tip  4

From the MINITAB output, the value of the t-statistic is 3.84 and the P-value is 0.000.

CONCLUDE:

The P-value is 0.000 and the significance level is 0.05.

Here, the P-value is less than the significance level.

That is, 0.000(=P-value)<0.05(=α) .

Therefore, by the rejection rule, it can be concluded that there is evidence to reject H0 at α=0.05 .

Thus, there is a significant difference in mean potentials between the two groups.

Justification:

From the results, it can be observed that the conclusions for inference with outlier and without outlier are same. Hence, the outlier does not affect the conclusion.

In order to find probability, you can use this formula in Microsoft Excel: The best way to understand and solve these problems is by first drawing a bell curve and marking key points such as x, the mean, and the areas of interest. Once marked on the bell curve, figure out what calculations are needed to find the area of interest. =NORM.DIST(x, Mean, Standard Dev., TRUE). When the question mentions “greater than” you may have to subtract your answer from 1. When the question mentions “between (two values)”, you need to do separate calculation for both values and then subtract their results to get the answer. 1.  Compute the probability of a value between 44.0 and 55.0. (The question requires finding probability value between 44 and 55. Solve it in 3 steps. In the first step, use the above formula and x = 44, calculate probability value. In the second step repeat the first step with the only difference that x=55. In the third step, subtract the answer of the first part from the…
