Question
Education influences attitude and lifestyle. Differences in education are a big factor in the "generation gap." Is the younger generation really
better educated? Large surveys of people age 65 and older were taken in n = 40 U.S. cities. The sample mean for these cities showed that x1
= 15.2% of the older adults had attended college. Large surveys of young adults (age 25 - 34) were taken in n, = 31 U.S. cities. The sample
mean for these cities showed that x2 = 19.2% of the young adults had attended college. From previous studies, it is known that o1 = 6.2%
and o2 = 5.4%. Does this information indicate that the population mean percentage of young adults who attended college is higher? Use a =
0.05.
(a) What is the level of significance?
State the null and alternate hypotheses.
O Ho: H1 = l2; H1: H1 * l2
Ho: H1 = l2; H1:H1 > H2
O Ho: H1 < l2; H1: H1 = H2
O Ho: H1 = l2; H1: H1 < µ2
(b) What sampling distribution will you use? What assumptions are you making?
O The Student's t. We assume that both population distributions are approximately normal with unknown standard deviations.
