In Exercises 11 –14, test the claim about the difference between two population means u1 and u2 at the level of significance a. Assume the samples are random and independent, and the populations are normally distributed.
In Exercises 5–20, assume that the two samples are independent simple random samples selected from normally distributed populations, and do not assume that the population standard deviations are equal. (Note: Answers in Appendix D include technology answers based on Formula 9-1 along with “Table” answers based on Table A-3 with df equal to the smaller of n1 − 1 and n2 − 1.)
Car and Taxi Ages When the author visited Dublin, Ireland (home of Guinness Brewery employee William Gosset, who first developed the t distribution), he recorded the ages of randomly selected passenger cars and randomly selected taxis. The ages can be found from the license plates. (There is no end to the fun of traveling with the author.) The ages (in years) are listed below. We might expect that taxis would be newer, so test the claim that the mean age of cars is greater than the mean age of taxis.
Let X1,X2, ...,Xn be a random sample drawn from a N (µ, o2) distribution, where known and o2 is unknown. Consider the sample mean of the population parameter. Is is this estimator consistent?
