Movies versus parties Refer to the previous two exercises. Using software, compare the responses on movies and parties using (a) all steps of a significance test and (b) a 95% confidence interval. Interpret results in context.

10.51 Social activities for students As part of her class project, a student at the University of Rorida randomly sampled 10 fellow students to investigate their most common social activities. As part of the study, she asked the students to state how many times they had done each of the following activities during the previous year: going to a movie, going to a sporting event, or going to a party. The table shows the data.

Chapter 10.4, Problem 53PB, Movies versus parties Refer to the previous two exercises. Using software, compare the responses on , example 1

a. To compare the mean movie attendance and mean sports attendance using statistical inference, should we treat the samples as independent or dependent? Why?
b. The figure is a dot plot of the n = 10 difference scores for movies and sports. Does this show any irregularities that would make statistical inference unreliable?

Dot plot of difference scores.

c. Using the MINITAB output shown for these data, show how the 95% confidence interval was obtained from the other information given in the printout. Interpret the interval.
d. Show how the test statistic shown on the printout was obtained from the other information given. Report the P-value and interpret in context.

Chapter 10.4, Problem 53PB, Movies versus parties Refer to the previous two exercises. Using software, compare the responses on , example 4

a. Explain how to interpret the reported 95% confidence interval.
b. State the hypotheses to which the P-value refers and interpret its value.
c. Explain the connection between the results of the test and the confidence interval.
d. What assumptions are necessary for these inferences to be appropriate?

Features Features Normal distribution is characterized by two parameters, mean (µ) and standard deviation (σ). When graphed, the mean represents the center of the bell curve and the graph is perfectly symmetric about the center. The mean, median, and mode are all equal for a normal distribution. The standard deviation measures the data's spread from the center. The higher the standard deviation, the more the data is spread out and the flatter the bell curve looks. Variance is another commonly used measure of the spread of the distribution and is equal to the square of the standard deviation.

A transport company wants to compare the fuel efficiencies of the two types of lorry it operates. It obtains data from samples of the two types of lorry, with the following results: Test the hypothesis that there is no difference in fuel efficiency, using the 95% confidence level.

What test should be used in the following study? (options are uploaded in images). Levels of groups’ certainties about their eyewitness testimony to a simulated crime were compared. Thefirst group was set up to be “right” in its eyewitness accounts and the second group was set up to be“wrong”; the desire was to see if confidence differed across groups. Thirty-four participants wererecruited from a college campus and randomly divided into two groups, both of which were shown avideo of a crime scenario (length: 58 seconds) in which the perpetrator’s facial characteristics (withrespect to the camera) were clearly visible at two separate points and sporadically visible at others. Halfthe participants then were shown a five-individual lineup that contained the perpetrator in the video(“Group A”), and half the participants were shown a five-individual lineup that did not contain theperpetrator (“Group B”). Participants were asked to (a) identify if and where the perpetrator was in thelineup…
