It is observed that males raise their hands more frequently than females for answering the question.

<h3>What is the difference of means?</h3>

The mean difference is investigated to determine that whether values (directed toward that measure) of a two groups differ considerably or not, taking into account the equality in variance between given groups.

The Z test is employed based on the understanding about population data (here, standard deviation), while the t-test is used if sample values are utilized to estimate them.

Now, according to the question;

Then let population mean be the amount of men raising their hands \mu_{M}  as well as the population mean be the number of females raising their hands \mu_{F}.

Then the hypothesis would be;

\begin{aligned}&H_{0}: \mu_{M} \leq \mu_{F} \\&H_{1}: \mu_{M} > \mu_{F}\end{aligned}

So, the test shows the result of right trailed.

Calculate the sample mean for the men;

\begin{aligned}\bar{x}_{M} &=\frac{\sum_{i=1}^{n} X_{i}}{n} \\&=\frac{9+8+4+9+3+8+10+8+9+8+10+7+6+12}{14} \\&=7.93\end{aligned}

Then, the standard deviation for males will become,

\begin{aligned}s_{M} &=\sqrt{\frac{\sum_{i=1}^{n}\left(X_{i}-\bar{x}_{M}\right)^{2}}{n-1}} \\&=\sqrt{\frac{(9-7.93)^{2}+(8-7.93)^{2}+(4-7.93)^{2}+\ldots+(7-7.93)^{2}+(6-7.93)^{2}+(12-7.93)^{2}}{14-1}} \\&=2.3685\end{aligned}

Now, calculate the mean for females;

\begin{aligned}\bar{x}_{F} &=\frac{\sum_{i=1}^{n} X_{i}}{n} \\&=\frac{3+5+1+2+6+4+3+6+7+9+7+3+7+6+8+8}{16} \\&=5.31\end{aligned}

Then, the standard deviation for female will become;

\begin{aligned}s_{F} &=\sqrt{\frac{\sum_{i=1}^{n}\left(X_{i}-\bar{x}_{F}\right)^{2}}{n-1}} \\&=\sqrt{\frac{(3-7.93)^{2}+(5-7.93)^{2}+(1-7.93)^{2}+\ldots+(6-7.93)^{2}+(8-7.93)^{2}+(8-7.93)^{2}}{16-1}} \\&=2.3866\end{aligned}

Assuming variance equality, a pooled variance is:

\begin{aligned}s_{p}^{2} &=\frac{\left(n_{M}-1\right) s_{M}^{2}+\left(n_{F}-1\right) s_{F}^{2}}{n_{M}+n_{F}-2} \\&=\frac{(14-1) 2.3685^{2}+(16-1) 2.3866^{2}}{14+16-2} \\&=5.6559\end{aligned}

The, the test statistics would be-

\begin{aligned}t &=\frac{\bar{x}_{M}-\bar{x}_{F}}{\sqrt{s_{p}^{2}\left(\frac{1}{n_{M}}+\frac{1}{n_{F}}\right)}} \\&=\frac{7.93-5.31}{\sqrt{5.6559\left(\frac{1}{14}+\frac{1}{16}\right)}} \\&=3.0103\end{aligned}

The degree of freedom will become-

\begin{aligned}d f &=n_{M}+n_{F}-2 \\&=14+16-2 \\&=28\end{aligned}

The critical value is 1.701 at 28 degrees of freedom & 0.05 level of significance.

As, t > t_{\text {critical }}, the null hypothesis will be rejected.

As a result, males are more likely than females to raise their hands in response to the inquiry.

The correct question-

Using the data set below, test the research hypothesis at the .05 level of significance that males raise their hands in class more often than females. Do this practice problem by hand using a calculator. What is your conclusion regarding the research hypothesis? Remember to first decide whether this is a one- or two-tailed test.

Dafna1 [17]

Answer:

a) \bar d= \frac{\sum_{i=1}^n d_i}{n}=72.2  

s_d =\sqrt{\frac{\sum_{i=1}^n (d_i -\bar d)^2}{n-1}} =9.311  

b) The 90% confidence interval would be given by (63.330;81.070)

63.330 < \mu_{left}- \mu_{right}  

Step-by-step explanation:

1) Previous concepts  and notation

A confidence interval is "a range of values that’s likely to include a population value with a certain degree of confidence. It is often expressed a % whereby a population means lies between an upper and lower interval".

The margin of error is the range of values below and above the sample statistic in a confidence interval.

Normal distribution, is a "probability distribution that is symmetric about the mean, showing that data near the mean are more frequent in occurrence than data far from the mean".

Let put some notation  

x=left arm , y = right arm  

x: 175 169 182 146 144  

y: 102 101 94 79 79

The first step is define the difference d_i=x_i-y_i, that is given so we have:

d:  73, 68, 88, 67, 65

The second step is calculate the mean difference  

\bar d= \frac{\sum_{i=1}^n d_i}{n}=72.2  

The third step would be calculate the standard deviation for the differences, and we got:  

s_d =\sqrt{\frac{\sum_{i=1}^n (d_i -\bar d)^2}{n-1}} =9.311  

2) Confidence interval

The confidence interval for the mean is given by the following formula:  

\bar d \pm t_{\alpha/2}\frac{s_d}{\sqrt{n}} (1)  

In order to calculate the critical value t_{\alpha/2} we need to find first the degrees of freedom, given by:  

df=n-1=5-1=4  

Since the Confidence is 0.90 or 90%, the value of \alpha=0.1 and \alpha/2 =0.05, and we can use excel, a calculator or a table to find the critical value. The excel command would be: "=-T.INV(0.05,4)".And we see that t_{\alpha/2}=2.13  

Now we have everything in order to replace into formula (1):  

72.2-2.13\frac{9.311}{\sqrt{5}}=63.330  

72.2+2.13\frac{9.311}{\sqrt{5}}=81.070  

So on this case the 90% confidence interval would be given by (63.330;81.070)

63.330 < \mu_{left}- \mu_{right}

A cat gave birth to 3333 kittens who each had a different mass between 147147147147 and 159 g159\,\text{g}159g159, start text, g
harina [27]

Answer:

The correct option is (B).

Step-by-step explanation:

The median (m) is a measure of central tendency. To obtain the median, we assemble the data in arising order. If the data is odd, the median is the mid-value. If the data is even, the median is the arithmetic-mean of the two mid-values.

The mean of a data set is:

\bar X=\frac{1}{n}\sum\limits^{n}_{x=0}{X}

For the three kittens it is provided that the weights are in the range 147 g to 159 g.

So, the mean and median weight for the 3 kittens lies in the middle of this range.

Now a fourth kitten is born, with weight 57 g.

Now the range of the weight of 4 kittens is, 57 g to 159 g.

The mean is going to decrease as one more value is added to the data and the value is the least.

The median will also decrease because now the median will be mean of the 2nd and 3rd values.

But the mean would decrease more than the median because a smaller value is added to the data.

Thus, the correct option is (B).
