11. Manual Dexterity Differences A researcher wishes to see if there is a difference in the manual dexterity of athletes and that of band members. Two random samples of 30 are selected from each group and are given a manual dexterity test. The mean of the athletes’ test was 87, and the mean of the band members’ test was 92. The population standard deviation for the test is 7.2. At α = 0.01, is there a significant difference in the mean scores?

Given the situation below, create a problem and determine (a) the null and alternative hypotheses, (b) test statistic, (c) rejection region, and (d) applicability of the CLT.
As noted on page 275, when the two population means are equal, the estimated standard error for the indepen- dent-measures t test provides a measure of how much difference to expect between two sample means. For each of the following situations, assume that m1 5 m2 and calculate how much difference should be expected between the two sample means.
One sample has n 5 6 scores with SS 5 70 and the second sample has n 5 10 scores with SS 5 140.
One sample has n 5 6 scores with SS 5 310 and the
second sample has n 5 10 scores with SS 5 530.
In Part b, the samples have larger variability (big- ger SS values) than in Part a, but the sample sizes are unchanged. How does larger variability affect
the magnitude of the standard error for the sample mean difference?
Given a 95% C.I. = (34.14 mm, 36.02 mm) for a sample of Wooly Bear caterpillar lengths (preceding problem), address the following.
Based upon the above information, I am _____ % confident that the 95% C.I. contains the sample mean.
