Question:
Listed below are the heights (inches) for the simple random sample of supermodels Lima, Bundchen, Ambrosio, Ebanks, Iman, Rubik, Kurkova, Kerr, Kroes, and Swanepoel. Data Set 1 in Appendix B includes the heights of a simple random sample of 40 women from the general population, and here are the statistics for those heights: n = 40, x̄ = 63.7815 in., and s = 2.59665 in. Use a 0.01 significance level to test the claim that the supermodels have heights with a mean that is greater than the mean height of women in the general population.
Assume that the two samples are independent simple random samples selected from normally distributed populations, and do not assume that the population standard deviations are equal. Do the following:
a. Test the given claim using the P-value method or critical value method.
b. Construct a confidence interval suitable for testing the given claim.
