The U.S. Census Bureau collects data on the ages of married people. Suppose that eight married couples are randomly selected and have the ages given in the following table. Determine the 95% confidence interval for the true mean difference between the ages of married males and married females.

Let d=(age of husband)−(age of wife). Assume that the ages are normally distributed for the populations of both husbands and wives in the U.S.

Husband 64 40 46 35 37 67 46 61
Wife 71 33 58 37 43 72 55 55

Step 1 of 4:

Find the mean of the paired differences,  d‾. Round your answer to one decimal place.

Step 2 of 4:

Find the critical value that should be used in constructing the confidence interval. Round your answer to three decimal places.

Step 3 of 4:

Find the standard deviation of the paired differences to be used in constructing the confidence interval. Round your answer to one decimal place.

Step 4 of 4:

Construct the 95% confidence interval. Round your answers to one decimal place.

1.Describe the paradox of the phrase "benevolent deception". Are doctors who allow their patients to be involved in potentially harmful clinical treatments in compliance with their Hippocratic Oath? What does the use of “a miserable specimen” by a physician reveal about his/her attitude toward a patient? (Be sure to include supportive examples from either The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks or the US Public Health Service Syphilis Study at Tuskegee.)

2. An older married couple without children was involved in a car accident that left the wife with brain damage and her husband in a vegetative state. The wife was willing to liquidate their assets in order to fund additional life support for her husband in the hope that he would regain consciousness at some point. However, doctors at the hospital were debating whether or not the wife had sufficient mental capacity to make an informed decision regarding her husband’s care. You are one of the doctors at that hospital who serve on the medical ethics team. Give your recommendation incorporating Dr. Hopkins’s lecture on the conflicts in the social psychology of paternalism and public health care.
