Question

A manufacturer produces both a deluxe and a standard model of an automatic sander designed for home use. Selling prices obtained from a sample of retail outlets follow.                                                                                    

                                                                                               

                Model Price ($)                                                 Model Price ($)

Retail Outlet       Deluxe Standard                              Retail Outlet       Deluxe Standard

1              40           27                           5              40           30

2              39           28                           6              39           32

3              43           35                           7              36           29

4              38           31                                                          

                                                                                               

a. The manufacturer's suggested retail prices for the two models show a $10 price differential. Use a .05 level of significance and test that the mean difference between the prices of the two models is $10.                                                                                         

                                                                                               

Develop the null and alternative hypotheses.                                                                                     

H0 = d                                                                                  

                                                                                               

Ha = d                                                                                  

                                                                                               

                                                                                               

Calculate the value of the test statistic. If required enter negative values as negative numbers. (to 2 decimals).                                                                                    

                                                                                               

                                                                                               

The p-value is                                                                                   

                                                                                               

                                                                                               

Can you conclude that the price differential is not equal to $10?                                                                                

                                                                                               

                                                                                               

b. What is the 95% confidence interval for the difference between the mean prices of the two models (to 2 decimals)?                                                                                               

( , )                                                                                        

Explanation / Answer

Paired T-Test and CI: delux, standard

Paired T for delux - standard

N Mean StDev SE Mean
delux 7 39.29 2.14 0.81
standard 7 30.29 2.69 1.02
Difference 7 9.000 2.380 0.900


95% CI for mean difference: (6.798, 11.202)
T-Test of mean difference = 10 (vs 10): T-Value = -1.11 P-Value = 0.309

a. P-value >0.05 we do not reject null hypothesis so we conclude that the price differential is equal to $10

b.95% CI for mean difference: (6.798, 11.202)
