Section 10-2
10-1. a) 1) The parameter of interest is the difference in means 1 2. Note that 0 = 0. 2) H 0 : 1 2 = 0 or 1 = 2 3) H 1 : 1 2 0 or 1 2 4) The test statistic is

5) Reject H 0 if z0 < z/2 = 1.96 or z0 > z/2 = 1.96 for = 0.05. 6) 1 = 10 n 1 = 10

2 = 5 n 2 = 15

7) Conclusion: Because 1.96 < 0.9 < 1.96, do not reject the null hypothesis. There is not sufficient evidence to conclude that the two means differ at = 0.05. P -value = 2(1 (0.9)) = 2(1 0.8 159 50) = 0.36 8

With 95% confidence, the true difference in the means is between 9.79 and 3.59. Because zero is contained in this interval, we conclude there is no significant difference between the means. We fail to reject the null hypothesis.

P ower = 1 0.86 = 0.14 d) Assume the sample sizes are to be equal, use = 0.05, = 0.05, and = 3

Use n 1 = n 1 = 181 10-3. a) 1) The parameter of interest is the difference in means 1 2. Note that 0 = 0. 2) H 0 : 1 2 = 0 or 1 = 2 3) H 1 : 1 2 > 0 or 1 > 2 4) The test statistic is

5) Reject H 0 if z0 > z = 2.325 for = 0.01. 6) 1 = 10 n 1 = 10

2 = 5 n 2 = 15

7) Conclusion: Because 0.937 < 2.325, we fail to reject the null hypothesis. There is not sufficient evidence to conclude that the two means differ at = 0.01. P -value = 1 (0.9 4) = 1 0.8 26 4 = 0.17 36

With 99% confidence, the true difference in the means is greater than 4.74. Because 0 is contained in this interval, we fail to reject the null hypothesis.

P ower = 1 0.96 = 0.04 d) Assume the sample sizes are to be equal, use = 0.05, = 0.05, and = 3

Use n 1 = n 2 = 339 10-5. a) 1) The parameter of interest is the difference in breaking strengths 1 2 and 0 = 10 2) H 0 : 1 2 = 10 3) H 1 : 1 2 > 10 4) The test statistic is

5) Reject H 0 if z0 > z = 1.645 for = 0.05 6) 1 = 1.0 n 1 = 10

2 = 1.0 n 2 = 12

7) Conclusion: Because 5.84 < 1.645 fail to reject the null hypothesis. There is insufficient evidence to support the use of plastic 1 at = 0.05. P -value = 1 5.8 4 = 1 0 = 1

P ower = 1 0.0012 = 0.9988

Yes, the sample size is adequate 10-7.

n 1 = 15 n 2= 20 a) 1) The parameter of interest is the difference in mean road octane number 1 2 and 0 = 0 2) H 0 : 1 2 = 0 or 1 = 2 3) H 1 : 1 2 < 0 or 1 < 2 4) The test statistic is

5) Reject H 0 if z0 < z = 1.645 for = 0.05 6)

n 1 = 15

7) Conclusion: Because 7.25 < 1.645 reject the null hypothesis and conclude the mean road octane number for formulation 2 exceeds that of formulation 1 using = 0.05. P -value P (z 7.25) = 1 P (z 7.25) = 11 0 b) 95% confidence interval:

With 95% confidence, the mean road octane number for formulation 2 exceeds that of formulation 1 by between 2.116 and 3.684. c) 95% level of confidence, E = 1, and z0.025 = 1.96

Use n 1 = n 2 = 11 10-9. Catalyst 1 1 = 65.22 1 = 3 n 1 = 10 Catalyst 2

2 = 3 n 2 = 10

a) 95% confidence interval on 1 2, the difference in mean active concentration

We are 95% confident that the mean active concentration of catalyst 2 exceeds that of catalyst 1 by between 0.57 and 5.83 g/l. P -value:

Then P -value = 2(0.008656) = 0.0173. b) Yes, because the 95% confidence interval does not contain the value zero. We conclude that the mean active concentration depends on the choice of catalyst.

P ower = 1 = 1 0.038364 = 0.9616. d) Calculate the value of n using and .

Therefore, 10 is only slightly too few samples. The sample sizes are adequate to detect the difference of 5. The data from the first sample n = 15 appear to be normally distributed.

The data from the second sample n = 8 appear to be normally distributed

P lots for both samples are shown in the following figure.
