Inference for Two Populations

Create an appropriate graph that summarize the variable for your question. The graphs that you select
should present a preliminary answer to your question. Refer to examples in the text to see how to best
visualize your data and make the correct comparison.

Report appropriate measures that summarize the variable of interest for your question. This may
include sample mean(s), sample standard deviation(s), sample proportions (depending on your
question) and sample size(s). Be sure to include all statistics that are needed to proceed with your
inferential procedures. These statistics do not need to be computed by hand. Use your TI-84 and just
report the results.

Interpret the graphs and summary measures to describe the distribution(s) of your variable of interest.

Create a confidence interval for your question, showing all calculations. You may choose the confidence
level.

Perform a hypothesis test for your question, using all 5 steps of a hypothesis test and showing the
calculations.

Explain the results in the context of your question. Use complete sentences and be sure that you have
answered your research question. Did the two procedures lead to similar conclusions? Were any
results unusual or unexpected?
