A random sample of 5 college women was asked for their own heights and their mothers' heights. The researchers wanted to know whether the college women are taller on average than their mothers. The results (in inches) follow:
Pair | 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 |
---|---|---|---|---|---|
Daughter | 67 | 66 | 70 | 69 | 67 |
Mother | 61 | 61 | 61 | 64 | 63 |
Let d = daughter's height - mother's height, and let μd represent the average height difference of daughter-mother pairs.
What is the sample mean of height difference between daughters and mothers (i.e. [(d)])? [answer to 1 decimal place]

Compute the margin of error of the 99% paired confidence interval for μd. [answer to 3 decimal places]
Tries 0/5 |
The 99% paired confidence interval for μd
is:
(3.409, 8.191)
(2.575, 9.025)
(3.968, 7.632)
(4.484, 7.116)
(1.844, 9.756)
Tries 0/3 |
Based on 99% paired confidence interval for
μd, we can conclude that
there is no significant evidence that average height of daughters
is different from the average height of their mothers
one cannot make any comparison of daughters' and mothers' heights
based on confidence interval
there is significant evidence that on the average daughters are
shorter than their mothers
there is significant evidence that on the average daughters are
taller than their mothers
