In this problem, assume that the distribution of differences is approximately normal. Note: For degrees of freedom d.f. not in the Student's t table, use the closest d.f. that is smaller. In some situations, this choice of d.f. may increase the P-value by a small amount and therefore produce a slightly more "conservative" answer.

Question

In this problem, assume that the distribution of differences is approximately normal. Note: For degrees of freedom d.f. not in the Student's t table, use the closest d.f. that is smaller. In some situations, this choice of d.f. may increase the P-value by a small amount and therefore produce a slightly more "conservative" answer.

A survey of houses and traditional hogans was made in a number of different regions of the modern Navajo Indian Reservation. The following table is the result of a random sample of eight regions on the Navajo Reservation.

(d) Based on your answers in parts (a) to (c), will you reject or fail to reject the null hypothesis? Are the data statistically significant at level a?
O At the a = 0.05 level, we reject the null hypothesis and conclude the data are statistically significant.
O At the a = 0.05 level, we reject the null hypothesis and conclude the data are not statistically significant.
O At the a = 0.05 level, we fail to reject the null hypothesis and conclude the data are statistically significant.
O At the a = 0.05 level, we fail to reject the null hypothesis and conclude the data are not statistically significant.
(e) State your conclusion in the context of the application.
O Reject the null hypothesis, there is sufficient evidence to claim that the mean number of inhabited houses is greater than that of hogans.
O Reject the null hypothesis, there is insufficient evidence to claim that the mean number of inhabited houses is greater than that of hogans.
O Fail to reject the null hypothesis, there is insufficient evidence to claim that the mean number of inhabited houses is greater than that of hogans.
O Fail to reject the null hypothesis, there is sufficient evidence to claim that the mean number of inhabited houses is greater than that of hogans.

Accepted Answer

(a)
The level of significance is 0.05. Let μd be the population mean number of inhabited is greater…
