Chapter 9.2, Problem 16BSC

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.)

16. Bad Stuff in Children’s Movies Data Set 11 “Alcohol and Tobacco in Movies” in Appendix B includes lengths of times (seconds) of tobacco use shown in animated children’s movies. For the Disney movies, n = 33, x ¯ = 61.6 sec, s = 118.8 sec. For the other movies, n = 17, x ¯ = 49.3 sec, s = 69.3 sec. The sorted times for the non-Disney movies are listed below.

a. Use a 0.05 significance level to test the claim that Disney animated children’s movies and other animated children’s movies have the same mean time showing tobacco use.

b. Construct a confidence interval appropriate for the hypothesis test in part (a).

c. Conduct a quick visual inspection of the listed times for the non-Disney movies and comment on the normality requirement. How does the normality of the 17 non-Disney times affect the results?

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.

When you have a certain blood test done, the phlebotomist takes 3 vials of blood that hold 10 mL each. Obviously, there is variability in the amount of blood that actually goes in to the vials. (a) Five vials are selected randomly from a day's batch, and the amount of blood (in mL) in each vial is measured and recorded. The results are as follows. 9.61, 9.65, 9.68, 9.81, 9.93 What is the mean amount (in mL) of blood in the vials? mL (b) When you donate blood, you give between 450 and 500 mL. Five randomly selected samples of blood donations were selected, and the amount of blood (in mL) in each was measured and recorded. The results are as follows. 454, 457, 461, 474, 495 What is the mean amount (in mL) of blood in the donations? mL (c) What is the median (in mL) of the five samples of blood donations from part (b)? mL

Researchers claim that the surface temperature of the world's oceans mainly changes with changing latitude. The warmest waters are near the equator and the coldest waters are in the Arctic and Antarctic regions. To examine this claim, an experiment has been designed and the following data has been collected from coastal areas in the southern hemisphere for 5 consecutive years in the middle of November. The recorded temperatures are all averages across the 5 years of data.
