Answer:

Point Estimate for different between population means = - 0.99

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given data of two samples and we have to find the best point estimate of the true difference between two population means. Remember that in absence of data about population the best estimator is the sample data. So, we will find the means of both sample data and find the difference of that means. This difference between the means of sample data will be the best point estimate for the true difference between the population means.

Formula to calculate the mean is:

$Mean=\frac{\text{Sum of Values}}{\text{Number of Values}}$

Mean of Sample 1:

$Mean=\frac{1414}{11}=128.55$

Mean of Sample 2:

$Mean=\frac{1684}{13}=129.54$

Therefore the best point estimate for difference between two population means would be = Mean of Sample 1 - Mean of Sample 2

= 128.55 - 129.54

= - 0.99

Various studies indicate that approximately 11% of the world's population is left handed. You think this number is actually high

Answer:

a. H0 : p ≤ 0.11 Ha : p >0.11 ( one tailed test )

d. z= 1.3322

Step-by-step explanation:

We formulate our hypothesis as

a. H0 : p ≤ 0.11 Ha : p >0.11 ( one tailed test )

According to the given conditions

p`= 31/225= 0.1378

np`= 225 > 5

n q` = n (1-p`) = 225 ( 1- 31/225)= 193.995> 5

p = 0.4 x= 31 and n 225

c. Using the test statistic

z= p`- p / √pq/n

d. Putting the values

z= 0.1378- 0.11/ √0.11*0.89/225

z= 0.1378- 0.11/ √0.0979/225

z= 0.1378- 0.11/ 0.02085

z= 1.3322

at 5% significance level the z- value is ± 1.645 for one tailed test

The calculated value falls in the critical region so we reject our null hypothesis H0 : p ≤ 0.11 and accept Ha : p >0.11 and conclude that the data indicates that the 11% of the world's population is left-handed.

The rejection region is attached.

The P- value is calculated by finding the corresponding value of the probability of z from the z - table and subtracting it from 1.

which appears to be 0.95 and subtracting from 1 gives 0.04998
