A doctor claims that the mean number of hours of sleep that seniors in high school get per night differs from the mean number of hours of sleep college seniors get per night. To investigate, he selects a random sample of 50 high school seniors from all high schools in his county. He also selects a random sample of 50 seniors from the colleges in his county. He constructs a 95% confidence interval for the true mean difference in the number of hours of sleep for seniors in high school and seniors in college. The resulting interval is (0.57, 1.25). Based upon the interval, can the doctor conclude that mean number of hours of sleep that seniors in high school get per night differs from the mean number of hours of sleep college seniors get per night? yes because 1 is in the confidence interval yes because 0 is not in the confidence interval no because 1 is in the confidence interval no because 0 is not in the confidence interval
As part of the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey, the Department of Health and Human Services obtained self-reported heights and measured heights for males aged 12 – 16. All measurements are in inches. Using a 0.05 significance level, is there sufficient evidence to support the claim that there is a difference between self-reported heights and measured heights of males aged 12 – 16? Also be sure to include the confidence interval. What does this suggest about the average difference between self-reported and actual heights? Write an APA-style results section for what you find.
