Mike thinks that there is a difference in quality of life between rural and urban living. He collects information from obituaries in newspapers from urban and rural towns in Idaho to see if there is a difference in life expectancy. A sample of 20 people from rural towns give a life expectancy of xr¯=83.7xr¯=83.7 years with a standard deviation of sr=8.9sr=8.9 years. A sample of 7 people from larger towns give xu¯=76xu¯=76 years and su=9.26su=9.26 years. Does this provide evidence that people living in rural Idaho communities have different life expectancy than those in more urban communities? Use a 2% level of significance.
(a) State the null and alternative hypotheses: (Type
‘‘mu_r′′‘‘mu_r″ for the symbol μr, e.g. mu_r not =
mu_u, for the means are not equal,
mu_r>mu_umu_r>mu_u for the rural mean is
larger, mu_r<mu_umu_r<mu_u , for the rural
mean is smaller. )
H0H0 =
HaHa =
(b) The degree of freedom is
(c) The test statistic is
(d) Based on this data, Mike concludes:
A. There is not sufficient evidence to show that
life expectancies are different for rural and urban
communities.
B. The results are significant. The data seems to
indicate that people living in rural communities have a different
life expectancy than those in urban communities.
Let denote the average life expectancy of people living in rural Idaho communities and urban communities respectively.
Conclusion :
A. There is not sufficient evidence to show that life expectancies are different for rural and urban communities.
