Concept explainers
Female and male monthly smokers Refer to the previous exercise. A subject was called a monthly smoker if he or she had smoked cigarettes over an extended period of time. The 74 female monthly smokers had a mean HONC score of 5.4 (s = 3.5), and the 71 male monthly smokers had a mean HONC score of 3.9 (s = 3.6). Using software (such as the Comparing Means web app or MINITAB) that can conduct analyses using summary statistics, repeat parts b and c of the previous exercise.
10.25 Females or males more nicotine dependent? Refer to Exercise 10.23 about studying nicotine dependence using a random sample of teenagers. Of those seventh graders in the study who had tried tobacco, the mean HONC score was 2.8 (s = 3.6) for the 150 females and 1.6 (s = 2.9) for the 182 males.
- a. Find a standard error for comparing the sample means. Interpret.
- b. Find the test statistic and P-value for H0: μ1 = μ2 against Ha: μ1 ≠ μ2. Interpret and explain what (if any) effect gender has on the mean HONC score.
- c. Do you think that the HONC scores were approximately normal for each gender? Why or why not? How does this affect the validity of the analysis in part b?
