11.18034 Df = 18 H0: there is no difference between the averages Ha: the averages are different ( t-statistic = (14 0)/5 =2.8 p-value < 0.01 Therefore we reject the null hypothesis and accept the alternate hypothesis Conclusion: there is a difference in average ball flight between these two types of golf tees )

b) S1 = 13 and s2 = 9 since S1/s2 = 1.444 < 1.5 therefore we can do the pooled t-test

c) t* = 2.101 confidence interval is (14 2.101*5, 14 + 2.101*5) (3.495, 24.505) d) Since 0 does not lie in the confidence interval therefore hypothesis result is consistent with the confidence interval.

Q2: a) Ho: people like both instant and fresh brewed coffee equally Ha: majority of people like fresh brewed coffee

If p is the proportion of people who like fresh brewed coffee then we can restate as follows Ho: p = 0.5 Ha: p > 0.5

( )

Z=

= 2.529822

p-value= P(Z > 2.529822) = 1 - 0.994294 = 0.005706 since p-value < 0.5 therefore we can reject the null hypothesis and accept the alternate hypothesis. Conclusion: majority like fresh brewed coffee b)

c) since p-value < 0.5 therefore we can reject the null hypothesis and accept the alternate hypothesis. Conclusion: majority like fresh brewed coffee d) Confidence interval is given by

pp = (90 + 83)/574 = 173/574 = 0.301394 therefore Z =

therefore p-value = 2*P(Z > 4.472757) = 7.72176E-06

since the p-value < 0.05 we reject the null hypothesis and accept the alternate hypothesis c) Ho: non-smoking lung cancer have same second hand smoke exposure as non-smoking controls Ha: non-smoking lung cancer have different second hand exposure than the non-smoking controls The pooled estimate of p is = 173/574 = 0.301394 dont live live with with smokers smokers total 113.0228 261.9773 375 59.97741 139.0226 173.0002 400.9998 199 574

R-squared = 0.7998 Therefore R = 0.894315

There is a strong positive correlation between blood alcohol and amount of beer

b) Ho: 1 = 0 Ha: 1 > 0 t = 7.48 p-value = P(t> 7.48 ) < 0.001

since the p-value is less than 0.05 we reject the null hypothesis and accept alternate hypothesis Conclusion: There is significance evidence that drinking more beers increases blood alcohol

c) from Stata we get the confidence interval for the slope is (0.0128,0.0231)
