Answer to Problem 18E
The conclusion is that the data provide convincing support for the claim that, on average, male teenager drivers exceed the speed limit by more than do female teenage drivers.
Explanation of Solution
Calculation:
The data are based on the speed limit for male and female drivers.
Step 1:
In this context,
Step 2:
Null hypothesis:
Step 3:
Alternative hypothesis:
Step 4:
Significance level,
It is given that the significance level,
Step 5:
Test statistic:
Step 6:
The assumption for the two-sample t-test:
- The random samples should be collected independently.
- The sample sizes should be large. That is, each sample size is at least 30 or the populations are approximately normally distributed.
It is assumed that the distribution of the speed limit for male and female drivers is normally distributed.
Boxplot:
Software procedure:
Step-by-step procedure to obtain a boxplot using MINITAB software:
- Choose Graphs > Boxplot.
- Under Multiple Y’s, choose Simple.
- In Graph variables, enter the column of Male Driver and Female Driver.
- In Scale, choose Transpose values and categorical scales.
- Click OK in all dialogue boxes.
Output using MINITAB software is given below:
Any lack of symmetric that appears in the boxplot is acceptable for the given sample size because the sample size is larger.
From the boxplot, it is clear that the distribution of the speed limit for male drivers is skewed right and the distribution of the speed limit for female drivers is skewed left. Based on the sample size, the normality condition is satisfied. Morevoer, random samples are collected independently. Therefore, the assumptions are satisfied. It is reasonable to use the data for a two-sample t test.

- In its January 25, 2012, issue, the Journal of the American Medical Association reported on the effects of overconsumption of low, normal, and high protein diets on weight gain, energy expenditure, and body composition. Researchers conducted a single blind, randomized controlled trial of 25 U.S. adults. The subjects were healthy, weight-stable, male and female volunteers, aged 18 to 35 years. All subjects consumed a weight-stabilizing diet for 13 to 25 days. Afterwards, the researchers randomly assigned participants to diets containing various percentages of energy from protein: 5% (low protein), 15% (normal protein), or 25% (high protein). The subjects were not aware of the specific protein level diet to which they were assigned. On these diets the researchers overfed the participants during the last 8 weeks of their 10 to 12 week stay in the inpatient metabolic unit.
