- You work for the Colorado Chapter of the Mutual UFO Network
(MUFON) that is responsible for compiling all UFO sightings in the
US. You are interested in whether there is a difference between
rural and urban people in the mean number of UFOs they have ever
seen. You randomly sample 200 urban and 150 rural Coloradoans and
ask how many UFOs they’ve seen. Of the urbanites, the mean number
of UFOs is 1.3 UFOs with a standard deviation of .4. Of the rural
folks, the mean number of UFOs is 1.5 UFOs with a standard
deviation of .6.
Do a two-sample hypothesis test
(alpha=.05) to determine whether you can claim that there is a
difference urban and rural Coloradoans in the mean number of UFOs
ever seen. You must show all steps and all calculations.
- You are interested in studying the relationship between
believing in aliens and believing in God. You randomly sample 400
Coloradoans and ask them whether they believe in aliens and whether
they believe in God. Of the 290 people who believe in God, 83 said
they believed in aliens. Of the 110 people who do not believe in
God, 27 said they believe in aliens.
Do a two-sample hypothesis test
(alpha=.05) to determine whether there’s a difference between those
who believe in God and those who don’t in the percent who believe
in aliens. Show all steps of the hypothesis test and all
calculations.
