Textbook Question
Chapter 10.1, Problem 20E
Effectiveness of distance learning: A study was done to compare the effectiveness of distance learning with traditional classroom instruction. Twelve students took a business administration course online, while 14 students took it in a classroom. The final exam scores were as follows. It is reasonable to assume that the samples come from populations that are approximately normal.
- Construct a confidence interval for the difference between the
mean scores for the types of instruction. - An educator claims that both methods of instruction are equally effective. Does the confidence interval contradict this claim?

A travel magazine is studying the difference in perceived quality of Middle Eastern and US airlines. A sample of 17 passengers who had flown Emirates and 20 passengers who had flown Delta, were asked to rate their overall satisfaction on a 7-point scale. The average quality ratings obtained were 5.353 for Emirates and 3.882 for Delta. The sample variance for quality ratings was found to be 2.743 for Emirates and 2.985 for Delta. Construct a 96% confidence interval for the difference in average satisfaction rating
between all passengers who have flown Emirates and all passengers who have flown Delta. Based on this confidence interval, and a 4% significance level, can you conclude that there is a difference in the average quality ratings for Emirates and Delta airlines?
For the scenario below, determine which which one of the group threats to internal validity (selection or regression to the mean) is of most concern and provide one way to control for the threat.
During the fall semester a study was conducted to determine if differences in performance and attitude exist for students enrolled in an on-line course in college level mathematics and a traditional on-campus delivery of the same college level mathematics course. Students self-selected the course that they were enrolled in and students were enrolled in one and only one of the courses.
Several years ago, 43% of parents who had children in grades K-12 were satisfied with the quality of education the students receive. A recent poll asked 1,075
parents who have children in grades K-12 if they were satisfied with the quality of education the students receive. Of the 1,075 surveyed, 466 indicated that they
were satisfied. Construct a 90% confidence interval to assess whether this represents evidence that parents' attitudes toward the quality of education have changed.
