Randomly selected 110 student cars have ages with a mean of 8 years and a standard deviation of 3.6 years, while randomly select

ed 75 faculty cars have ages with a mean of 5.3 years and a standard deviation of 3.7 years.
1. Use a 0.02 significance level to test the claim that student cars are older than faculty cars.
Is there sufficient evidence to support the claim that student cars are older than faculty cars?
A. Yes.
B. No.
2. Construct a 98% confidence interval estimate of the difference μ1âμ2, where μ1 is the mean age of student cars and μ is the mean age of faculty cars.

Answer:

1. Yes, there is sufficient evidence to support the claim that student cars are older than faculty cars.

2. The 98% confidence interval for the difference between the two population means is [1.432 years, 3.968 years].

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that randomly selected 110 student cars to have ages with a mean of 8 years and a standard deviation of 3.6 years, while randomly selected 75 faculty cars to have ages with a mean of 5.3 years and a standard deviation of 3.7 years.

Let \mu_1 = <em>mean age of student cars.</em>

\mu_2   = <em>mean age of faculty cars.</em>

So, Null Hypothesis, H_0 : \mu_1 \leq \mu_2      {means that the student cars are younger than or equal to faculty cars}

Alternate Hypothesis, H_A : \mu_1>\mu_2      {means that the student cars are older than faculty cars}

(1) The test statistics that will be used here is <u>Two-sample t-test statistics</u> because we don't know about the population standard deviations;

                             T.S.  =  \frac{(\bar X_1-\bar X_2)-(\mu_1-\mu_2)} {s_p \times \sqrt{\frac{1}{n_1}+\frac{1}{n_2} } }   ~   t_n_1_+_n_2_-_2

where, \bar X_1 = sample mean age of student cars = 8 years

\bar X_2 = sample mean age of faculty cars = 5.3 years

s_1 = sample standard deviation of student cars = 3.6 years

s_2 = sample standard deviation of student cars = 3.7 years

n_1 = sample of student cars = 110

n_2 = sample of faculty cars = 75

Also, s_p=\sqrt{\frac{(n_1-1)\times s_1^{2}+(n_2-1)\times s_2^{2} }{n_1+n_2-2} }  = \sqrt{\frac{(110-1)\times 3.6^{2}+(75-1)\times 3.7^{2} }{110+75-2} }  = 3.641

So, <u><em>the test statistics</em></u> =  \frac{(8-5.3)-(0)} {3.641 \times \sqrt{\frac{1}{110}+\frac{1}{75} } }  ~ t_1_8_3

                                     =  4.952    

The value of t-test statistics is 4.952.

Since the value of our test statistics is more than the critical value of t, so <u><em>we have sufficient evidence to reject our null hypothesis</em></u> as it will fall in the rejection region.

Therefore, we support the claim that student cars are older than faculty cars.

(2) The 98% confidence interval for the difference between the two population means (\mu_1-\mu_2) is given by;

98% C.I. for (\mu_1-\mu_2) = (\bar X_1-\bar X_2) \pm (t_(_\frac{\alpha}{2}_) \times s_p \times  \sqrt{\frac{1}{n_1}+\frac{1}{n_2} })

                                 = (8-5.3) \pm (2.326 \times 3.641 \times  \sqrt{\frac{1}{110}+\frac{1}{75} })

                                 = [2.7 \pm 1.268]

                                 = [1.432, 3.968]

Here, the critical value of t at a 1% level of significance is 2.326.

Hence, the 98% confidence interval for the difference between the two population means is [1.432 years, 3.968 years].

yulyashka [42]
Their error is that they divided 12 by 30, instead of 30 by 12 in order to get the price per pair

the correct unit price is $2.50 per pair

2.5 * 12 = 30
