Randomly selected 110 student cars have ages with a mean of 8 years and a standard deviation of 3.6 years, while randomly selected 75 faculty cars have ages with a mean of 5.3 years and a standard deviation of 3.7 years. 1. Use a 0.02 significance level to test the claim that student cars are older than faculty cars.
Is there sufficient evidence to support the claim that student cars are older than faculty cars?
A. Yes.
B. No.
2. Construct a 98% confidence interval estimate of the difference μ1âμ2, where μ1 is the mean age of student cars and μ is the mean age of faculty cars.

1. Yes, there is sufficient evidence to support the claim that student cars are older than faculty cars.

2. The 98% confidence interval for the difference between the two population means is [1.432 years, 3.968 years].

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that randomly selected 110 student cars to have ages with a mean of 8 years and a standard deviation of 3.6 years, while randomly selected 75 faculty cars to have ages with a mean of 5.3 years and a standard deviation of 3.7 years.

Let = mean age of student cars.

  = mean age of faculty cars.

So, Null Hypothesis, :      {means that the student cars are younger than or equal to faculty cars}

Alternate Hypothesis, :      {means that the student cars are older than faculty cars}

(1) The test statistics that will be used here is Two-sample t-test statistics because we don't know about the population standard deviations;

                             T.S.  =     ~  

where, = sample mean age of student cars = 8 years

= sample mean age of faculty cars = 5.3 years

= sample standard deviation of student cars = 3.6 years

= sample standard deviation of student cars = 3.7 years

= sample of student cars = 110

= sample of faculty cars = 75

Also,  =  = 3.641

So, the test statistics =    ~

                                     =  4.952    

The value of t-test statistics is 4.952.

Since the value of our test statistics is more than the critical value of t, so we have sufficient evidence to reject our null hypothesis as it will fall in the rejection region.

Therefore, we support the claim that student cars are older than faculty cars.

(2) The 98% confidence interval for the difference between the two population means () is given by;

98% C.I. for () =

                                 =

                                 =

                                 = [1.432, 3.968]

Here, the critical value of t at a 1% level of significance is 2.326.

Hence, the 98% confidence interval for the difference between the two population means is [1.432 years, 3.968 years].
