Textbook Question
Chapter 8.3, Problem 8.29LM
The data for a random sample of 10 paired observations are shown in the table below
| Pair | Sample from Population 1 | Sample from Population 2 |
| 1 | 19 | 24 |
| 2 | 25 | 27 |
| 3 | 31 | 36 |
| 4 | 52 | 53 |
| 5 | 49 | 55 |
| 6 | 34 | 34 |
| 7 | 59 | 66 |
| 8 | 47 | 51 |
| 9 | 17 | 20 |
| 10 | 51 | 55 |
- a. If you wish to test whether these data are sufficient to indicate that the mean for population 2 is larger than that for population 1, what are the appropriate null and alternative hypotheses? Define any symbols you use.
- b. Conduct the test, part a, using α = .10.
- c. Find a 90% confidence interval for μd. Interpret this result.
- d. What assumptions are necessary to ensure the validity of this analysis?

Sales personnel for Skillings Distributors submit weekly reports listing the customer contacts made during the week. A sample of 65 weekly reports showed a sample mean of 19.5 customer contacts per week. The sample standard deviation was 5.2. Provide 90% and 95% confidence intervals for the population mean number of weekly customer contacts for the sales personnel.
90% Confidence interval, to 2 decimals:
( , )
95% Confidence interval, to 2 decimals:
A simple random sample of 40 items resulted in a sample mean of 25. The population standard deviation is 5.
a. What is the standard error of the mean (to 2 decimals)?
b. At 95% confidence, what is the margin of error (to 2 decimals)?
mean trough level of the population to be 3.7 micrograms/mL. The researcher conducts a study among 93 newly diagnosed arthritis patients and finds the mean trough to be 4.1 micrograms/mL with a standard deviation of 2.4 micrograms/mL. The researcher wants to test at the 5% level of significance if the trough is different than previously reported or not. Z statistics will be used.
Complete Step 5 of hypothesis testing: Conclusion. State whether or not you would reject the null hypothesis and why. Also interpret what this means (i.e. is the mean trough different from 3.7 or no
