Suggested Homework:

10.9d "the probability would be 0.006(not 0.003) of getting a TS at least as extreme as the value observed, if the null is true."

10.3 Other Ways of Comparing Means and Comparing Proportions

10.42  10.43   10.45

10.4 Analyzing Dependent Samples

10.47  10.48  10.49  10.50  10.51  10.57  10.58  10.60abd 10.61

10.48a, the hypothesis should be Hod = 0 versus Ha: µd ≠ 0.

10.50 and 10.51b the hypothesis should be Ho:µd = 0 versus Ha: µd ≠ 0.

Answer to 10.57c in Solutions Manual is wrong.

10.57

Assumptions: “The sum of the YN and the NY counts are greater than 30à 515+290 >30. Assumption Met.

Ho: p1-p2=0  Ha: p1-p2 does not equal 0

Test Statistics = z= (515 – 290) / sqrt(515+290) = 7.93

P-value equals the probability less than 7.93 and the probability greater than 7.93 = almost zero

With a p-value of almost zero, there is strong evidence that there is a difference in the proportion of people of re-arrest for juveniles who are seen in an adult court and for juveniles that are seen in a juvenile court.

End of Chapter Exercises

10.70  10.93  10.94

10.70 d Comparing two means with independent samples. You can use either a Confidence interval or significance test.

Your Teaching assistant will give out the same information next week as well in addition to doing the first week.
