	Population 1	Poulation 2
n	28	15
x	46.7	42.5
s	4.8	13.1

Use the given statistics to complete parts (a) and (b). Assume that the populations are normally distributed.

(a) Test whether μ1>μ2 at the alpha=0.01 level of significance for the given sample data.

(b) Construct a 95% confidence interval about μ1−μ2.

Expert Solution

a) = 1% = 0.01

Hypothesis:

Ho: 1 = 2

Ha: 1 > 2

First We need to find out, Degrees of Freedom

Degrees of Freedom:

Test statistic:

Critical value:

...............Using t table

Conclusion:

Test statistic < Critical value, 1.20 < 2.5835, That is Fail to Reject Ho at 1% level of significance.

b)

Critical value:

..............Using t table

95% Confidence Interval:

(-3.22, 11.62) OR -3.22 < 1-2 < 11.62

Here, Population mean difference = 0 i,e, 1-2= 0, Is included in this interval

That is, Fail to Reject Ho at 5% level of significance.

If S = 1-x/1! + x^2/2! - x^3/3! + ..... where n! means factorial(n) and x is a variable that will be assigned. Use matlab to compute S for x = 7 and n (number of terms) = 5. Write the value below as the one displayed when you issue "format short" in matlab. Explain the process and result of the question.

Q1- Given a set S = {1, 2, . . . , n} of players, with skill levels a1, a2, . . . , an, we need to partition the set of players S into two teams S1 and S2 of equal total skill. The teams do not need to be of equal size. However, every player must be in exactly one team. In other words, S1 ∪ S2 = S (1) S1 ∩ S2 = ∅ (2) Σ ak=...
