In Exercises 5–16, use the listed paired sample data, and assume that the samples are simple random samples and that the differences have a distribution that is approximately normal.
Body Temperatures Listed below are body temperatures from seven different subjects measured at two different times in a day (from Data Set 3 “Body Temperatures” in Appendix B).
a. Use a 0.05 significance level to test the claim that there is no difference between body temperatures measured at 8 AM and at 12 AM.
b. Construct the confidence interval that could be used for the hypothesis test described in part (a). What feature of the confidence interval leads to the same conclusion reached in part (a)?
In Exercises 1–5, use the following survey results: Randomly selected subjects were asked if they were aware that the Earth has lost half of its wildlife population during the past 50 years. Among 1121 women, 23% said that they were aware. Among 1084 men, 26% said that they were aware (based on data from a Harris poll).
Biodiversity When using the given sample data to construct a 95% confidence interval estimate of the difference between the two population proportions, the result of (−0.0659, 0.00591) is obtained from technology.
a. Express that confidence interval in a format that uses the symbol <.
b. What feature of the confidence interval is a basis for deciding whether there is a significant difference between the proportion of women aware of the statement and the proportion of men who are aware?
Below are the sample standard deviations and sample sizes for independent simple random samples from two populations. Use the two-standard-deviations F-test and the two-standard-deviations F-interval procedure to conduct the required hypothesis test and obtain the specified confidence interval.

- Based on a previous study, it is known that the dividend payout ratio of an industry resembles a normal distribution with a standard deviation of 2.4%. An investment manager collects data from 81 companies in an industry and gets the average dividend payout ratio of 81 companies is 11.8%. If the investment manager wants to establish a 95% confidence interval for the average dividend payout ratio of the population in the industry, what estimate will be obtained? a) 11.36% - 12.24% b) 11.28% - 12.32% c) 11.8% - 12.32% d) 11.36% - 12.8%arrow_forwardIn 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.

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.arrow_forwardIn 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.
