Check whether the population has a normal distribution or not.

b.

To determine

Compute a 99% confidence interval on the mean differences in reaction times of drivers who have a blood-alcohol level of 0.1%.

Compute a 99% confidence interval on the median differences in reaction times of drivers who have a blood-alcohol level of 0.1%.

c.

To determine

Check whether there is significant evidence that a blood-alcohol level of 0.1% causes any increase in the mean reaction time or not.

d.

To determine

Check whether there is sufficient evidence that a blood-alcohol level of 0.1% causes any increase in the median reaction time or not.

e.

3. Explain why the following statements are not correct. a. "With my methodological approach, I can reduce the Type I error with the given sample information without changing the Type II error." b. "I have already decided how much of the Type I error I am going to allow. A bigger sample will not change either the Type I or Type II error." C. "I can reduce the Type II error by making it difficult to reject the null hypothesis." d. "By making it easy to reject the null hypothesis, I am reducing the Type I error."
