Problem 10.4. We continue with the situation in Problem 8.8. Assume
that the two sample sizes are nį = 19 and n2 = 12 and the two sample
variances are s = 0.81 and s = 0.49. Is there enough evidence that fam-
ilies from culled populations have a lower bunching intensity than families
from non-culled populations? Use a test of hypothesis at level a = 0.005.
Suppose that the two populations are normally distributed with equal vari-

Table 4.20 appeared in a national study of 15- and 16-year-old adolescents. The event of interest is ever having sexual intercourse. Analyze these data and summarize in a one-page report, including description and inference about the effects of both gender and race. Note: No need for a whole page, just need to include related information.
Problem 1.
Consider a battery with a completely unknown voltage (Po = c0). Two independent
measurements of the voltage are taken to estimate the voltage, the first with a variance of 4,
and the second with a variance of 1.
a. Write the weighted least squares voltage estimate in terms of the two measurements z1 and

- Find the equation of the regression line for the following data set. x 1 2 3 y 0 3 4arrow_forwardOlympic Pole Vault The graph in Figure 7 indicates that in recent years the winning Olympic men’s pole vault height has fallen below the value predicted by the regression line in Example 2. This might have occurred because when the pole vault was a new event there was much room for improvement in vaulters’ performances, whereas now even the best training can produce only incremental advances. Let’s see whether concentrating on more recent results gives a better predictor of future records. (a) Use the data in Table 2 (page 176) to complete the table of winning pole vault heights shown in the margin. (Note that we are using x=0 to correspond to the year 1972, where this restricted data set begins.) (b) Find the regression line for the data in part ‚(a). (c) Plot the data and the regression line on the same axes. Does the regression line seem to provide a good model for the data? (d) What does the regression line predict as the winning pole vault height for the 2012 Olympics? Compare this predicted value to the actual 2012 winning height of 5.97 m, as described on page 177.

- Consider Case Study 8.2 on page 238. Suppose 18 specimens were used for each type of paint in an experiment and XA -XB, the actual difference in mean drying time, turned out to be 1.0. (a) Does this seem to be a reasonable result if the two population mean drying times truly are equal? Make use of the result in the solution to Case Study 8.2. (b) If someone did the experiment 10,000 times under the condition that µÃ = µ³, in how many of those 10,000 experiments would there be a difference XA XB that was as large as (or larger than) 1.0? Case Study 8.2: Paint Drying Time: Two independent experiments are run in which two different types of paint are compared. Eighteen specimens are painted using type A, and the drying time, in hours, is recorded for each. The same is done with type B. The population standard deviations are both known to be 1.0. Assuming that the mean drying time is equal for the two types of paint, find P(XA-XB> 1.0), where XA and XB are average drying times for samples…arrow_forwardQuestion 3arrow_forward1.
