Some studies have shown that in the United States, men spend more than women on Valentine's Day. A researcher wants to estimate how much more men spend by observing the amounts spent for random samples of men and women. We want to estimate the difference (µ men - µ women) using a 90% confidence interval.
a) Find the AD (Anderson-Darling) for both Men and Women (using Minitab). (round to 3 decimal places)
b) Report the endpoints of the 90% confidence interval below. (Round to 1 decimal place)
Amount(Men) | Amount(Women) |
191 | 10 |
261 | 46 |
173 | 42 |
163 | 48 |
261 | 24 |
62 | 42 |
137 | 48 |
58 | 84 |
205 | 33 |
123 | 34 |
173 | 43 |
236 | 64 |
a)
H0: The data follows normal distribution
H1: The data does not follows normal distribution
Let the los be alpha = 5%
Test Statistic AD = 0.253
P-value = 0.668
Here P-value > alpha 0.05 so we accept H0
thus we conclude that Amount (Men) follows normal distribution
Test Statistic AD = 0.426
P-value = 0.262
Here P-value > alpha 0.05 so we accept H0
thus we conclude that Amount (Women) follows normal distribution
b) From the given data
