Two boats, the Prada (Italy) and the Oracle (USA),
are competing for a spot in the upcoming
America’s Cup race. They race over a part of the
course several times. The sample times in minutes
for the Prada were as follows: 12.9, 12.5, 11.0,
13.3, 11.2, 11.4, 11.6, 12.3, 14.2, and 11.3. The
sample times in minutes for the Oracle were as
follows: 14.1, 14.1, 14.2, 17.4, 15.8, 16.7, 16.1, 13.3,
13.4, 13.6, 10.8, and 19.0. For data analysis, the
appropriate test is the t test: two-sample assuming
unequal variances.
The next table shows the results of this
independent t test. At the .05 significance level, can
you conclude that there is a difference in their
mean times? Explain these results to a person who
knows about the t test for a single sample but who
is unfamiliar with the t test for independent
means.
The Willow Run Outlet Mall has two Haggar Outlet
Stores, one located on Peach Street and the other
on Plum Street. The two stores are laid out
differently, but both store managers claim their
layout maximizes the amounts customers will
purchase on impulse. A sample of 10 customers at
the Peach Street store revealed they spent the
following amounts more than planned: $17.58,
$19.73, $12.61, $17.79, $16.22, $15.82, $15.40,
$15.86, $11.82, $15.85. A sample of 14 customers
at the Plum Street store revealed they spent the
following amounts more than they planned when
they entered the store: $18.19, $20.22, $17.38,
$17.96, $23.92, $15.87, $16.47, $15.96, $16.79,
$16.74, $21.40, $20.57, $19.79, $14.83. For data
analysis, a t test: two-sample assuming unequal
variances was used.
At the .01 significance level, is there a difference in
the mean amount purchased on an impulse at the
two stores? Explain these results to a person who
knows about the t test for a single sample but who
is unfamiliar with the t test for independent
means.
Fry Brothers Heating and Air Conditioning, Inc.
employs Larry Clark and George Murnen to make
service calls to repair furnaces and air
conditioning units in homes. Tom Fry, the owner,
would like to know whether there is a difference in
the mean number of service calls they make per
day. Assume the population standard deviation for
Larry Clark is 1.05 calls per day, and 1.23 calls per
day for George Murnen. A random sample of 40
days last year showed that Larry Clark made an
average of 4.77 calls per day. For a sample of 50
days, George Murnen made an average of 5.02 calls
per day. At the .05 significance level, is there a
difference in the mean number of calls per day
between the two employees? What is the p-value?
Chapters 11 & 12
A consumer organization wants to know if there is
a difference in the price of a particular toy at three
different types of stores. The price of the toy was
checked in a sample of five discount toy stores, five
variety stores, and five department stores. The
results are shown below.
An ANOVA was run and the results are shown
below. At the .05 significance level, is there a
difference in the mean prices between the three
stores? What is the p-value? Explain why an
ANOVA was used to analyze this problem.
A physician who specializes in weight control has
three different diets she recommends. As an
experiment, she randomly selected 15 patients
and then assigned 5 to each diet. After three weeks
the following weight losses, in pounds, were noted.
At the .05 significance level, can she conclude that
there is a difference in the mean amount of weight
loss among the three diets?
An ANOVA was run and the results are shown
below. At the .01 significance level, is there a
difference in the weight loss between the three
plans? What is the p-value? What can you do to
determine exactly where the difference is?
