Homework problems for lecture 15

  1. Suppose I measure some treatment response on a set of 10 mice from strain A, and receive the following data:
    84 106 99 101 100
    99 127 105 101 108

    Note that n=10, the sample mean is 103 and the sample SD is 10.67.

    Suppose I measure the same sort of treatment response on a set of 5 mice from strain B, and receive the following data:
    56 62 67 81 69

    Note that m=5, the sample mean is 67 and the sample SD is 9.30.

    Calculate a 95% confidence interval for the difference in the average treatment responses of strains A and B.
