9. A. There is a significant difference between the sample and population mean.

B. The p value is .7321 which means it is greater than the null hypothesis having no significant
difference which is equal to 0.

C. We can assume that the distribution is fairly allocated.

D.

E. None.

10. A. There is a significant difference between the light bulbs having a statistic of 1.4331.

B. The p value is .0898 which means it is greater than the null hypothesis having no significant
difference which is equal to 0.

C. No, the manufacturer cannot claim that these light bulbs last more than 400 hours.

D. Yes.

Exercise 3.5.2.1

1.
A. There is a significant difference between the average tuition fee for incoming freshmen and
old students
B. The p-value is 4.3934 which means that the average tuition fee of the incoming freshman
and old students have significant difference since their values are not equal.
2. A. There is a significant difference between the average delivery time of the two shops

B. The p-value is -9.4 +- .078039 which means that the average delivery time of the two shops
have significant difference since their values are not equal.

C. The confidence interval became -9.4 +- 1.02561

D. The interval became higher if the confidence level is 99% because of the small amount of
error.

3. A. The p value of is 0.1667 which can be interpreted as there is no significant difference

between the workers who trained in Program 1 and Program 2

B. The other assumption to be made is they have the same set of instructors that results to no
significant difference.

C. The confidence interval is -1.3619 +- 2.50512 = (-3.867, 1.14321)

4. There is a significant difference between the paints treated with Formula A and B. The p value is
.9987 which is greater than 0.

5. A. There is a significant difference between the two communities having a statistic of 4. 1835
and a p value of 1 which is greater than 0.
 B. The assumption violated is not considering the people living in a 1 mansion.

C. The confidence interval is (18937.6, 19042.4)

Exercise 3.5.2.2

1. A. There is a significant difference in the average price for the items purchased from the two
bookstore.

B. The p value is 0.9956 which is greater than the null hypothesis having no significant
difference which is equal to 0.

C. The assumption needed is that between the two stores the prices are normally distributed.

D. The confidence interval is (19.7+- 11.552) and (19.6583 +-11.552)

E. Since the prices between the two stores varies in a decimal only there is still a significant
difference between the two and some of the prices in store 1 are higher than store 2 and vice
versa.

2. We can interpret the data given that it is more effective having a promotional activities since
there is a greater mean than without promotional activities and there is a significant difference
having a promotional activities than without promotional activities.

3. A. There is a significant difference between the before and after readings having a test statistic
of 2.9760

B. The assumption to be made is that it is normally distributed though in some cases there are
large amount of differences between the two.

C. After taking the drug, their cholesterol became lower than their cholesterol before taking the
drug.
