(1 point) Randomly selected 2020 student cars (population 1) have ages with a mean of 7.97.9 years and a standard deviation of 3.63.6 years, while randomly selected 2222 faculty cars (population 2) have ages with a mean of 5.55.5 years and a standard deviation of 3.53.5 years. (For the purposes of this exercise, the two populations are assumed to be normally distributed.)
1. Use a 0.010.01 significance level to
test the claim that student cars are older than faculty cars.
The test statistic is
The P-value (using the n1+n2-2 degrees-of-freedom) is
Is there sufficient evidence to support the claim that student cars
are older than faculty cars?
A. Yes
B. No
2. Construct a 9999% confidence interval
estimate of the difference μ1−μ2μ1−μ2, where μ1μ1 is the mean age
of student cars and μ2μ2 is the mean age of faculty cars. (Use the
using the n1+n2-2 degrees-of-freedom
formula). <(μ1−μ2)<<(μ1−μ2)<
