In a study on the effect of an oral rinse on plaque buildup on teeth, eighteen people whose teeth were thoroughly cleaned and polished were randomly assigned to two groups of nine subjects each. Both groups were assigned to use oral rinses (no brushing) for a 2-week period. Group 1 used a rinse that contained an antiplaque agent. Group 2, the control group, received a similar rinse except that the rinse contained no antiplaque agent. A measure of plaque buildup was recorded at 14 days with means and standard deviations for the two groups shown in the table.

You may need to use the appropriate appendix table to answer this question. To compare the average swimming times for two swimmers, each swimmer was asked to swim freestyle for a distance of 100 yards at randomly selected times. The swimmers were thoroughly rested between laps and did not race against each other, so that each sample of times was an independent random sample. The times for each of 10 trials are shown for the two swimmers. Swimmer 1 Swimmer 2 59.63 59.75 59.80 59.42 59.49 59.44 59.31 59.64 59.64 59.73 59.77 59.51 59.51 59.64 59.65 59.82 60.00 59.69 59.87 59.50 USE SALT Suppose that swimmer 2 was last year's winner when the two swimmers raced. Does it appear that the average time for swimmer 2 is still faster than the average time for swimmer 1 in the 100-yard freestyle? (Use Swimmer 1 - Swimmer 2. Use a = 0.05.) State the null and alternative hypotheses. Ho (H1 H2) = 0 versus Ha: (#1 - H2) 0 Ho (H1 H2) 0 versus Ha: (#1 - 2) = 0 Ho (H1 H2) 0 Ho (H1 H2)=0 versus Ha: (1 - 2) > 0 Ho (H1 H2) = 0 versus Ha: (#1 - 2) 0.100 Interpret the results. Ho is rejected. There is sufficient evidence to conclude that the average time for swimmer 2 is still faster than that of swimmer 1. Ho is not rejected.

How does Alex Smith, quarterback for the Kansas City Chiefs, compare to Joe Flacco, quarterback for the Baltimore Ravens?

Is the assumption of equal variances reasonable? Why or why not? Yes, because the ratio of the larger variance to smaller variance is less than 3.

You may need to use the appropriate appendix table or technology to answer this question. In an experiment to study an oral rinse designed to prevent plaque buildup, subjects were divided into two groups-one group used rinse with an antiplaque ingredient, and the control group used a rinse containing inactive ingredients. Suppose that the plaque growth on each person's teeth was measured after using the rinse after 4 hours and then again after 8 hours. If you wish to estimate the difference in plaque growth from 4 to 8 hours, should you use a confidence interval based on a paired or an unpaired analysis? Explain. If two measurements are taken on the same person, then the measurements --Select--independent, thus you should use --Select--analysis
