Chapter 10: HYPOTHESIS TESTING WITH TWO SAMPLE
Given information
Use the following information to answer the next exercises: The U.S. Center for Disease Control reports that the mean life expectancy was years for whites born in and years for nonwhites. Suppose that you randomly survey death records for people born in in a certain county. Of the whites, the mean life span was years with a standard deviation of years. Of the nonwhites, the mean life span was years with a standard deviation of years. Conduct a hypothesis test to see if the mean life spans in the county were the same for whites and nonwhites.
Step-by-step explanation
As the test statistic and value are found in the previous problem,
The following is the required graph:
with the horizontal axis, the hypothesized difference, and the sample difference marked. And the area corresponding to the value shaded.
