AM -vs- PM Height (Raw Data, Software
Required):
It is widely accepted that people are a little taller in the
morning than at night. Here we perform a test on how big the
difference is. In a sample of 30 adults, the morning height and
evening height are given in millimeters (mm) in the table below.
Use this data to test the claim that, on average, people are more
than 10 mm taller in the morning than at night. Test this claim at
the 0.05 significance level.
(a) The claim is that the mean difference (x - y) is more than 10 mm (μd > 10). What type of test is this? This is a two-tailed test. This is a left-tailed test. This is a right-tailed test. (b) What is the test statistic? Round your answer to 2 decimal places. t d =(c) Use software to get the P-value of the test statistic. Round to 4 decimal places. P-value = (d) What is the conclusion regarding the null hypothesis? reject H0 fail to reject H0 (e) Choose the appropriate concluding statement. The data supports the claim that, on average, people are more than 10 mm taller in the morning than at night. There is not enough data to support the claim that, on average, people are more than 10 mm taller in the morning than at night. We reject the claim that, on average, people are more than 10 mm taller in the morning than at night. We have proven that, on average, people are more than 10 mm taller in the morning than at night. |
