Scores in the first and final rounds for a sample of 20 golfers who competed in tournaments are contained in the Excel Online file below.
Construct a spreadsheet to answer the following questions.
Open spreadsheet
Suppose you would like to determine if the mean score for the first round of an event is significantly different than the mean score for the final
round. Does the pressure of playing in the final round cause scores to go up? Or does the increased player concentration cause scores to come
down?
a. Use
a = .10 to test for a statistically significantly difference between the population means for first- and final-round scores. What is the
p-value?
p-value is
(to 4 decimals)
What is your conclusion?
There is no
significant difference between the mean scores for the first and final rounds.
b. What is the point estimate of the difference between the two population means?
(to 2 decimals)
For which round is the population mean score lower?
First round
c. What is the margin of error for a 90% confidence interval estimate for the difference between the population means?
(to 2 decimals)
