How much more does a Toy Fox Terrier weigh compared to a Pomeranian? A random sample of dogs were weighed and the data is below. Create and Interpret a 95% Confidence Interval using PANIC.
Toy Fox Terrier | Pomeranian |
5.0 | 4.7 |
5.1 | 3.9 |
4.6 | 4.2 |
3.5 | 4.2 |
6.0 | 3.7 |
Parameters - Given data from samples (Sample mean and sample standard deviation)
Assumptions - Independent samples and random samples
Name of interval - Use t distribution because we do not know population standard deviation
Interval -
Mean difference = 0.7
Sp^2 = ((n1-1)S1^2+(n2-1)S2^2)/(n1+n2-2) = 0.483
CI | Equal variance | |
tc | 2.306004135 | T.INV.2T(alpha,df) |
Upper | 1.713578115 | (X1 bar-X2 bar )+tc*Sp*SQRT(1/n1 + 1/n2) |
Lower | -0.313578115 | (X1 bar-X2 bar )-tc*Sp*SQRT(1/n1 + 1/n2) |
CI = (-0.3136, 1.7136)
Concluson:
We are 95% confident that population mean difference lies between the interval
