Yes, it appears that potentials in the two groups differ in a systematic way.

Explanation of Solution

Given info:

The data shows the measured the difference in electrical potential between the Diabetic Mice and Normal Mice.

Calculation:

Stemplot for Diabetic Mice:

Software procedure:

Step by step procedure to construct Stemplot for Diabetic Mice by using the MINITAB software:

  • Choose Graph > Stem-and-Leaf.
  • In Graph variables, enter the column of Diabetic Mice.
  • Click OK.

Observation:

From Stemplot for Diabetic Mice, it is clear that the left side of the stemplot extended larger than the right side of the stemplot. Hence, the distribution of the Diabetic Mice is left-skewed with one low outlier.

Stemplot for Normal Mice:

Software procedure:

Step by step procedure to construct Stemplot for Normal Mice by using the MINITAB software:

  • Choose Graph > Stem-and-Leaf.
  • In Graph variables, enter the column of Normal Mice.
  • Click OK.

Observation:

From Stemplot for Normal Mice, it is clear that the right side of the stemplot extended same as in the left side of the stemplot. Hence, the distribution of the Normal Mice is symmetric.

Justification:

From the Stemplot for Diabetic Mice and Normal Mice, it can be observed that the distribution of the two groups is symmetric without considering the outliers. Hence, it appears that potentials in the two groups differ in a systematic way.

(b)

To determine

To test: Whether there is a significant difference in mean potentials between the two groups or not.

Answer to Problem 24.58SE

The conclusion is that, there is a significant difference in mean potentials between the two groups.

Explanation of Solution

Calculation:

PLAN:

Check whether or not there is a significant difference in mean potentials between the two groups.

State the test hypotheses.

Null hypothesis:

H0:μ1=μ2

Alternative hypothesis:

Ha:μ1μ2

SOLVE:

Test statistic and P-value:

Software procedure:

Step by step procedure to obtain test statistic and P-value using the MINITAB software:

  • Choose Stat > Basic Statistics > 2-Sample t.
  • Choose Sample in different columns.
  • In First, enter the column of Diabetic Mice.
  • In Second, enter the column of Normal Mice.
  • Choose Options.
  • In Confidence level, enter 95.
  • In Alternative, select not equal.
  • Click OK in all the dialogue boxes.

Output using the MINITAB software is given below:

Loose-leaf Version for The Basic Practice of Statistics 7e & LaunchPad (Twelve Month Access), Chapter 24, Problem 24.58SE , additional homework tip  3

From the MINITAB output, the value of the t-statistic is 3.08 and the P-value is 0.004.

CONCLUDE:

The P-value is 0.004 and the significance level is 0.05.

Here, the P-value is less than the significance level.

That is, 0.004(=P-value)<0.05(=α) .

Therefore, by the rejection rule, it can be concluded that there is evidence to reject H0 at α=0.05 .

Thus, there is a significant difference in mean potentials between the two groups.

To determine

To test: Whether there is a significant difference in mean potentials between the two groups or not.

To check: Whether the outlier affects the conclusion or not.

Answer to Problem 24.58SE

The conclusion is that, there is a significant difference in mean potentials between the two groups.

No, the outlier does not affect the conclusion.

Explanation of Solution

Calculation:

PLAN:

Check whether or not there is a significant difference in mean potentials between the two groups.

State the test hypotheses.

Null hypothesis:

H0:μ1=μ2

Alternative hypothesis:

Ha:μ1μ2

SOLVE:

Test statistic and P-value:

Software procedure:

Step by step procedure to obtain test statistic and P-value without outlier using the MINITAB software:

  • Choose Stat > Basic Statistics > 2-Sample t.
  • Choose Sample in different columns.
  • In First, enter the column of Diabetic Mice.
  • In Second, enter the column of Normal Mice.
  • Choose Options.
  • In Confidence level, enter 95.
  • In Alternative, select not equal.
  • Click OK in all the dialogue boxes.

Output using the MINITAB software is given below:

Loose-leaf Version for The Basic Practice of Statistics 7e & LaunchPad (Twelve Month Access), Chapter 24, Problem 24.58SE , additional homework tip  4

From the MINITAB output, the value of the t-statistic is 3.84 and the P-value is 0.000.

CONCLUDE:

The P-value is 0.000 and the significance level is 0.05.

Here, the P-value is less than the significance level.

That is, 0.000(=P-value)<0.05(=α) .

Therefore, by the rejection rule, it can be concluded that there is evidence to reject H0 at α=0.05 .

Thus, there is a significant difference in mean potentials between the two groups.

Justification:

From the results, it can be observed that the conclusions for inference with outlier and without outlier are same. Hence, the outlier does not affect the conclusion.
