AM -vs- PM Height (Raw Data, SoftwareRequired):
It is widely accepted that people are a little taller in themorning than at night. Here we perform a test on how big thedifference is. In a sample of 30 adults, the morning height andevening height are given in millimeters (mm) in the table below.Use this data to test the claim that, on average, people are morethan 10 mm taller in the morning than at night. Test this claim atthe 0.05 significance level.
(a) The claim is that the mean difference (x - y)is more than 10 mm (?d > 10). Whattype of test is this?This is a two-tailed test. This is a left-tailed test. This is a right-tailed test. (b) What is the test statistic? Round your answer to 2decimal places. td =
(c) Use software to get the P-value of the test statistic.Round to 4 decimal places. P-value =
(d) What is the conclusion regarding the null hypothesis?reject H0 fail to rejectH0 (e) Choose the appropriate concluding statement.The data supports the claim that, on average, people are morethan 10 mm taller in the morning than at night. There is not enough data to support the claim that, on average,people are more than 10 mm taller in the morning than atnight. We reject the claim that, on average, people are more than 10 mmtaller in the morning than at night. We have proven that, on average, people are more than 10 mmtaller in the morning than at night. |
