SHORT ANSWER. Write the word or phrase that best completes each statement or answers the question.
1) Two well-known aviation training schools are being compared using random samples of their graduates. It is found that 70 of 140
graduates of Fly-More Academy passed their FAA exams on the first try, compared with 104 of 260 graduates of Blue Yonder
Institute. Test the pass rates for equality at α = .05.
2) Carver Memorial Hospital's surgeons have a new procedure that they think will decrease the time to perform an appendectomy. A
sample of 8 appendectomies using the old method had a mean of 38 minutes with a variance of 36 minutes, while a sample of 10
appendectomies using the experimental method had a mean of 29 minutes with a variance of 16 minutes. Test for equal means
(assume equal variances) at α = .10.
t= 3.814
3) In a test of a new surgical procedure, the five most respected surgeons in FlatBroke Township were invited to Carver Hospital. Each
surgeon was assigned two patients of the same age, gender, and overall health. One patient was operated upon in the old way, and the
other in the new way. Both procedures are considered equally safe. The surgery times are shown below:
Surgeon
Allen Bob Chloe Daphne Edgar
Old way 36 55 28 40 62
New way 31 45 28 35 57
The time (in minutes) to complete each procedure was carefully recorded. What is test statistics in a right-tailed test for a difference of
means?
