The floor exercise is a commonly shared event between the Women’s and Men’s Artistic Gymnastics programs. Let’s compare the floor exercise scores of the female gymnasts and male gymnasts. To do this, we will consider the 2007, 2011, and 2015 results as sample data. Part A: Individual All-Around Finals We will first look at the floor exercise scores in the Individual Female All-Around Finals and in the Individual Male All-Around Finals.

Question

The floor exercise is a commonly shared event between the Women’s and Men’s Artistic Gymnastics programs. Let’s compare the floor exercise scores of the female gymnasts and male gymnasts. To do this, we will consider the 2007, 2011, and 2015 results as sample data.

Part A: Individual All-Around Finals

We will first look at the floor exercise scores in the Individual Female All-Around Finals and in the Individual Male All-Around Finals.

The sample mean and sample standard deviation for Female All-Around Finals:

Sample Mean = 12.687

Sample Standard Deviation = 1.477 

 

The sample mean and sample standard deviation for Male All-Around Finals:

Sample Mean = 12.174

Sample Standard Deviation = 0.944

 

i. Construct a 95% confidence interval for the difference in population mean floor exercise scores between female and male gymnasts in the Individual All-Around Finals. (Hint: Use the results of i. and ii. and use the t-distribution.)

ii. Using the confidence interval in part iii., can we infer at the 5% significance level that the population mean floor exercise score in the Individual All-Around Finals is different for female gymnasts and male gymnastics?
