Question:

Refer to Exercise 38.

a. Find the probability of getting a difference in sample means x¯M−x¯W305 0.200 = 20.0% M - TW 1526 %3Dthat’s greater than 2 inches.
b. Should we be surprised if the sample mean height for the young men is at least 2 inches greater than the sample mean height for the young women? Explain your answer.


Exercise 38.

The heights of young men follow a Normal distribution with mean μM = 69.3 inches and standard deviation σM = 2.8 inches. The heights of youngwomen follow a Normal distribution with mean μW=64.5 inches and standard deviation σW=2.5 inches. Suppose we select independent SRSs of 16 young men and 9 young women and calculate the sample mean heights x¯M and x¯W.
