The following Exercise is based on summary statistics rather than raw data. This information is typically all that is presented in published reports. You can calculate inference procedures by hand from the summaries. Use the conservative Option 2 (degrees of freedom the smaller of n1−1n1−1 and n2−1n2−1 for two-sample t confidence intervals and P-values. You must trust that the authors understood the conditions for inference and verified that they apply. This isn't always true.)
Equip male and female students with a small device that secretly records sound for a random 30 seconds during each 12.5-minute period over two days. Count the words each subject speaks during each recording period, and from this, estimate how many words per day each subject speaks. The published report includes a table summarizing six such studies. Here are two of the six:
Sample Size
Estimated Average Number
(SD) of Words Spoken per Day
Study | Women | Men | Women | Men |
1 | 61 | 61 | 15924 (7703) | 16856 (9085) |
2 | 27 | 20 | 16790 (7770) | 12695 (8166) |
Readers are expected to understand this to mean, for example, the 61 women in the first study had x⎯⎯⎯x¯ = 15924 and s = 7703.
It is commonly thought that women talk more than men. Does either of the two samples support this idea? For each study:
(a) State the alternative hypothesis in terms of the population
mean number of words spoken per day for men (μM)(μM) and for women
(μF)(μF). If necessary, use != to represent ≠≠.
Study 1: μMμM μFμF
Study 2: μMμM μFμF
(b) Find the two-sample t statistic to test μF−μMμF−μM.

Study 2:
(c) What degrees of freedom does Option 2 use to get a conservative P-value?
Study 1:
Study 2:
(d) Compare your value of t with the critical values in Table C.
What can you say about the P- value of the test?
Study 1: P- value >>
Study 2: ≤≤ P- value ≤≤
Study 1:
For women :
x̅1 = 15924, s1 = 7703, n1 = 61
For Men :
x̅2 = 16856, s2 = 9085, n2 = 61
Study 2:
For women :
x̅1 = 16790, s1 = 7770, n1 = 27
For Men :
x̅2 = 12695, s2 = 8166, n2 = 20
a) Alternative hypothesis:
Study 1 :
Study 2 :
-----------------
b) Test statistic:
Study 1:
t = (x̅1 - x̅2)/√(s1²/n1 + s2²/n2) = (15924 - 16856)/√(7703²/61 + 9085²/61) = -0.6111
Study 2:
t = ( - )/√(s12/n1 + s22/n2) = (16790 - 12695)/√(77702/27 + 81662/20) = 1.7351
------------------
c) Study 1: Degree of freedom = 61- 1 = 60
Study 2: Degree of freedom = 20 - 1 = 19
-----------------
d) P-values:
Study 1: p-value = T.DIST.RT(-0.6111, 60) = 0.7283
P-value > 0.25
Study 2: p-value = T.DIST.RT(1.7351, 19) = 0.0495
0.025 < P-value < 0.05

Researchers did a study to compare how much men and women talk because it is commonly thought that women talk more than men. The study collected data from a simple random sample of women and a simple random sample of men. For each individual in these samples the researchers gave the estimated number of words spoken by her/him in a day. The data is in an Excel file on Canvas. (a) Do the data provide good evidence that women talk...

Part 2: Open Ended 11.17 points] The following sample data are based on a report by the Pew Research Organization in early 2018. A random sample of 1250 men included 313 who say they are online "almost constantly." Another random sample of 1100 women said the same. Test the claim at 5% significance that the proportions of women and men who are online "almost constantly" are different Step 1: Give the null and alternative hypotheses Describe pi= Describe p= H....
