Q.11. Health Care Knowledge Systems reported that an insured woman spends on average 2.3 days
in the hospital for a routine childbirth, while an uninsured woman spends on average 1.9 days.
Assume two samples of 16 women each were used and the standard deviations are both equal to 0.6
day. At α = 0.01, test the claim that the means are equal. Find the 99% confidence interval for the
differences of the means. Use the P-value method.
Q.12. A researcher wishes to determine whether the salaries of professional nurses employed by
private hospitals are higher than those of nurses employed by government-owned hospitals. She
selects a sample of nurses from each type of hospital and calculates the means and standard
deviations of their salaries. At α = 0.01, can she conclude that the private hospitals pay more than the
government hospitals? Assume that the populations are approximately normally distributed. Use the
P-value method.
Q.18. The iron contents of fruits before and after applying farm yard manure were observed
as follows.
Fruit No: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10
Before Applying 7.7 8.5 7.2 6.3 8.1 5.2 6.5 9.4 8.3 7.5
After Applying 8.1 8.9 7.0 6.1 8.2 8.0 5.8 8.9 8.7 8.0
Is there any Significant difference between the mean iron contents in the fruits before &
after the farm yarn manure? Also find 95% C.I for difference between two means.
