Question

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	65	68	67	66	63
Mother	65	65	67	66	66

Let d=d= daughter's height - mother's height, and let μdμd represent the average height difference of daughter-mother pairs.

What is the sample mean of height difference between daughters and mothers (i.e. d¯d¯)? [answer to 1 decimal place]

What is the sample standard deviation of height difference between daughters and mothers sdsd? [answer to 3 decimal places]

Compute the margin of error of the 90% paired confidence interval for μdμd. [answer to 3 decimal places]

Tries 0/5

The 90% paired confidence interval for μdμd is:
(-1.452, 1.452)
(-2.021, 2.021)
(-4.365, 4.365)
(-3.559, 3.559)
(-2.638, 2.638)

Incorrect.

Based on 90% paired confidence interval for μdμd, we can conclude that
there is significant evidence that on the average daughters are shorter than their mothers
there is no significant evidence that average height of daughters is different from the average height of their mothers
there is significant evidence that on the average daughters are taller than their mothers
one cannot make any comparison of daughters' and mothers' heights based on confidence interval

Incorrect.

Answer 1

Daughter's height	Mother's height	d
65	65	0
68	65	3
67	67	0
66	66	0
63	66	-3

The standard error of is

Margin of error (ME)

Now,

The 90% paired confidence interval for μ_d is:

Based on 90% 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
