Question

a socialogist expects the life expenancy of people in africa is different than the life expantancy of people in asia. the data shown in the table below. determine the 95% confidence interval for the difference in the population mean

africa	asia
mean₁= 63.3 yr	mean₂= 65.2
STD₁= 9.1 yr	STD₂= 7.3 yr
n₁=120	n₂= 150

calculate the critical value. use σ=0.05

A) -11.4 < μ₁ - μ₂ < -7.6 B)-12.2< μ₁ - μ₂ < -6.9 C). -13.5< μ₁ - μ₂ < -6.3

Expert Solution

Step 1

Step-by-step procedure to obtain the value of using STATKEY:

Choose Normal under Theoretical Distributions.
In Normal Distribution, click Edit Parameters.
Enter mean as 0 and standard deviation as 1 and click Ok.
Click Two-Tail.
Click OK.

Output obtained using the MINITAB software is given below:
