Example 6.11 On the basis ofthe results (marks obtained out of 200) of a reading
test oftwenty two slow-learners we wish to compare a new teaching method and
a standard method, after a 3-month
period's rigorous training. From the following
data test at 1% level if the new method is more effective.
Post-training reading scores of slow learners are as follows:
New teaching method Existing standard method
171 185 166 176 180 168 172 173 162 170 186
179 176 180 181 170 176 179 175 168 166 173
The test scores are
normally distributed for both the methods with equal
variances.
Example 6.14 A biologist wishes to use a specific kind of fish whose weights
are fairly stable, i.e., variability in weights is small. The
biologist randomly samples
10 such fish and finds that their mean weight is 4.3 Ibs. and the standard deviation
is 1.4 1bs. The biologist will use the fish for his experimental purpose ifthere
is
an evidence that the variance ofthe weights is less than 4 lbs. Is there sufficient
evidence for the biologist so that he can use the sample for his experiment
2
purpose.Take a = 0.05 and = 2.32. Find the p-value of the test.
VExample 6.16 A cardiologist wishes to see whether the variability in the heart
rates (in beats / minute) of smokers are different from the
heart rates of people
who do not smoke. Two independent
samples are selected from the populations
of smokers and non-smokers of a city and the data are as
given below. Using
a =
0.05 test whether there is enough evidence to
support the claim?
