The following data lists the ages of a random selection of actresses when they won an award in the category of Best Actress, along with the ages of actors when they won in the category of Best Actor. The ages are matched according to the year that the awards were presented. Complete parts (a) and (b) below.
a. Use the sample data with a 0.05 significance level to test the claim that for the population of ages of Best Actresses and Best Actors, the differences have a mean less than 0 (indicating that the Best Actresses are generally younger than Best Actors).
In this example, μd is the mean value of the differences d for the population of all pairs of data, where each individual difference d is defined as the actress's age minus the actor's age. What are the null and alternative hypotheses for the hypothesis test?
H0: μd (<,>, =, ≠) ___ year(s)
H1: μd (<,>, =, ≠) ___ year(s)
(Type integers or decimals. Do not round)
Identify the test statistic.
t= ___
(Round to two decimal places as needed.)
Identify the P-value.
P-value= ___
(Round to three decimal places as needed.)
What is the conclusion based on the hypothesis test?
Since the P-value is ____ (greater than or less than or equal to) the significant level, ____ (reject or fail to reject) the null hypothesis. There ___ (is or is not) sufficent evidence to support the claim that actresses are generally younger when they won the award than actors.
b. Construct the confidence interval that could be used for thr hypothesis test described in part (A). What feature of the confiudence interval leads to the same conclusion reached in part (a)?
The confidence interval is ____ year(s) < μd="">< ____="">
(Round to one deicmal place as needed.)
What feature of the confidence interval leads to the same conclusion reached in part (a)?
Since the confidence interval contains ____ (only positive numbers or zero or negative numbers) ____ (reject or fail to reject)
