An article gave the accompanying data on ultimate load (kN) for two different types of beams. Assuming the underlying distributions are Normal, calculate and interpret a 99% Cl for the difference between the true average load for the fiberglass beams and that for the carbon beams. Type Sample size Sample Mean Sample SD
Fiberglass grid 26 33.4 2.2
Commercial carbon 26 42.8 4.3

1. Calculate and interpret a 99% Cl for true average stance duration among elderly individuals.
2. Carry out a test of hypotheses at significance level 0.05 to decide whether true average stance duration is larger among elderly individuals than younger individuals.

The 99% confidence interval for the difference between the true average load for the fiberglass beams and that for the carbon beams is (-11.937, -6.863).

Step-by-step explanation:

We have to calculate a 99% confidence interval for the difference between the true average load for the fiberglass beams and that for the carbon beams.

The sample 1 (Fiberglass), of size n1=26 has a mean of 33.4 and a standard deviation of 2.2.

The sample 2 (Carbon), of size n2=26 has a mean of 42.8 and a standard deviation of 4.3.

The difference between sample means is Md=-9.4.

The estimated standard error of the difference between means is computed using the formula:

The critical t-value for a 99% confidence interval is t=2.678.

The margin of error (MOE) can be calculated as:

Then, the lower and upper bounds of the confidence interval are:

The 99% confidence interval for the difference between the true average load for the fiberglass beams and that for the carbon beams is (-11.937, -6.863).

all group life insurance is term insurance. actually it is annual renewable term and it is rated on the average age and claims experience of the entire group, which is called "experience rating." remember, this type of insurance has a 31-day grace period and is convertible to whole life upon leaving employment. a contributory group plan requires that both the employer and the employees pay part of the premium. at least 75% of those eligible must participate, so the group is sure to get most of the healthy employees as well as those that are sick.
