In what follows use any of the following tests/procedures: Regression, multiple regression, confidence intervals, one sided T-test or two sided T-test. All the procedures should be done with 5% P-value or 95% confidence interval.Some answers are approximated, choose the most appropriate answer.Open Pollution data. SETUP: Since wind clears the air, some people believe that the cities with wind speed above 10 have less SO2 than the cities with wind speed below 10. Given the data your job is to decide if this is a reasonable expectation.

I. What test/procedure did you perform? (6.66 points)

a. One sided T-test
b. Two sided T-test
c. Regression
d. Confidence interval

II. Statistical interpretation? (6.66 points)

a. Since P-value is small we are confident that the slope is not zero.
b. Since P-value is small we are confident that the averages are different.
c. Since P-value is too large the test is inconclusive.
d. None of these.

III. Conclusion? (6.66 points)

a. Yes, this is a reasonable expectation.
b. No, we cannot confirm that this is a reasonable expectation.

Solutions

Expert Solution

Let's divide the data into those with wind speed < 10 and those with wind speed >= 10

Let be the mean SO2 level in the cities with wind speed < 10, and in those with wind speed >= 10

Let and be the respective std deviations of SO2 levels.

Hence, using the data given, we get: = 34.19, = 42.14, = 20.16, = 43.3

1) The hypothesis to run is (where and are respective true population means):

H₀: - = 0

H₁: - > 0

Hence, it is a One-sided t-test (since the population variance is not known, we cannot carry out a Z-test)

2) t-statistic = t = ( - )/ sqrt[(/n1) + (/n2)]

= -0.651

p-value = 0.2594

Hence, the p-value is too large, so we cannot reject the null hypothesis.

3) Conclusion: As explained above, We cannot conclude this is a reasonable expectation.
