A manufacturer of automobiles has steadily increased sales since the 1989 launch of that brand in the
United States. However, the rate of increase changed in 1996 when the manufacturer introduced a line of
trucks. The sales of the manufacturer's vehicles from 1996 to 2003 are shown in the accompanying table.

1997 22.5

2000 32.9

2002 49.5

What did housing prices look like in the "good old days"? The median sale prices for new single-family
houses in a state are given in the accompanying table for the years 1972 through 1979.

Year Median Sales Price (✕ 1,000)

1972 (1) $27.50

1973 (2) $32.50

1974 (3) $35.80

1975 (4) $39.30

1976 (5) $44.20

1977 (6) $48.90

1978 (7) $55.60

1979 (8) $62.80

Letting Y denote the median sales price and x the year (using integers 1, 2,    , 8), the fitted model is
ŷ = 4.843 x + 21.532.

Use the data and model to construct a 95% prediction interval for the median sale price in 1980. (You may
need some of the following quantities: x = 4.50, y = 43.33, Sxx = 42.00, Syy = 1,002.24, Sxy = 203.40,

A survey reported the number of meters (m) per week swam by two groups of swimmers—those who
competed exclusively in breaststroke and those who competed in the individual medley (which includes
breaststroke). The number of meters per week practicing the breaststroke was recorded for each swimmer,
and the summary statistics are given below. Is there sufficient evidence to indicate that the average
number of meters per week spent practicing breaststroke is greater for exclusive breaststrokers than it is
for those swimming individual medley?

Specialty

Exclusively Breaststroke Individual Medley

Sample size 130 80

Sample mean (m) 9,317 5,853

Sample standard deviation (m) 71,720 19,710

Population mean 𝜇1 𝜇2

(a) State the null and alternative hypotheses. (Use 𝜇1 for exclusively breast stroke swimmers and 𝜇2 for
individual medley swimmers.)

H0: 𝜇1 > 𝜇2

Ha: 𝜇1 = 𝜇2

H0: 𝜇1 = 𝜇2

Ha: 𝜇1 > 𝜇2    

H0: 𝜇1 ≠ 𝜇2

Ha: 𝜇1 = 𝜇2

H0: 𝜇1 = 𝜇2

Ha: 𝜇1 < 𝜇2

H0: 𝜇1 = 𝜇2

Ha: 𝜇1 ≠ 𝜇2

(b) What is the appropriate rejection region for an 𝛼 = 0.01 level test? (Assume the test statistic will be
calculated using exclusively breast stroke swimmers − individual medley swimmers. Round your
answers to two decimal places. If the test is one-tailed, enter NONE for the unused region.)

z > 2.33

z < NONE

(c) Calculate the observed value of the appropriate test statistic. (Calculate the test statistic using
exclusively breast stroke swimmers − individual medley swimmers. Round your answer to two
decimal places.)
z = 0.65

(d) What is your conclusion?

Reject H0. There is enough evidence to conclude the mean swimming distance practicing
the breaststroke is larger for swimmers who exclusively swim the breaststroke than for
swimmers who swim individual medley.

Reject H0. There is not enough evidence to conclude the mean swimming distance
practicing the breaststroke is larger for swimmers who exclusively swim the breaststroke
than for swimmers who swim individual medley.    

Fail to reject H0. There is enough evidence to conclude the mean swimming distance
practicing the breaststroke is larger for swimmers who exclusively swim the breaststroke
than for swimmers who swim individual medley.

Fail to reject H0. There is not enough evidence to conclude the mean swimming distance
practicing the breaststroke is larger for swimmers who exclusively swim the breaststroke
than for swimmers who swim individual medley.

(e) What is a practical reason for the conclusion you reached in part (d)?

The sample sizes used in the test statistic were too large to be able to detect a difference.

The sample means used in the test statistic were too large to be able to detect a
difference.    

The sample standard deviations used in the test statistic were too large to be able to detect a
difference.
