Chapter 7 #42 The accounting department at Weston Materials‚ Inc.‚ a national manufacturer of unattached garages‚ reports that it takes two construction workers a mean of 32 hours and a standard deviation of 2 hours to erect the Red Barn model. Assume the assembly times follow the normal distribution. a. Determine the z values for 29 and 34 hours. What percent of the garages take between 32 hours and 34 hours to erect? z(29) = (29-32)/2 = -3/2 z(34) = (34-32)/2 = 1 z(32) = 0 P(32 < x <

Here‚ we describe estimation and hypothesis-testing procedures for the difference between two population means when the samples are dependent. In a case of two dependent samples‚ two data values—one for each sample—are collected from the same source (or element) and‚ hence‚ these are also called paired or matched samples. For example‚ we may want to make inferences about the mean weight loss for members of a health club after they have gone through an exercise program for a certain period of time
