Put the data described in Exercise 2.4.23, MaleTemp, into the Theory-Based Inference applet to answer (a)(b). a.
Question:
Put the data described in Exercise 2.4.23, MaleTemp, into the Theory-Based Inference applet to answer (a)–(b).
a. Again, we want to test to see whether average male body temperature is different than 98.6°F. What is the standardized statistic for this study? How does it compare to what you calculated using a bootstrap sampling distribution?
b. What is the p-value for this test? How does it compare to what you calculated using a bootstrap sampling distribution?
Data from Exercise 2.4.23
Recall Exercise 2.4.22 about male body temperatures. You should have found that 98.6°F was not a plausible value for the population mean because it was more than 2 standard deviations of the bootstrap sampling distribution away from the mean. What values are plausible? In other words, what values are within 2 standard deviations from the sample mean, which theoretically should be the mean of the bootstrap sampling distribution.
