Confidence Intervals for the Mean

Difference between Means

Answers

  1. You assume that the values were sampled independently of each other, the populations have the same variance (homogeneity of variance), and the populations are normally distributed.

  2. df = (n1 - 1) + (n2 - 1) = (12 - 1) + (14 -1) = 24

  3. Difference between means = 3 - 2 = 1; MSE = (1 + 1.2)/2 = 1.1; Standard error = sqrt(2(1.1)/11) = .447; df = 20; t = 1.725; Lower limit = 1 - (1.725)(.447) = 0.229

  4. Enter this data into the Analysis Lab (or another statistical program). Your grouping variable (grade) should be composed of all 1's (1st graders) and 2's (2nd graders), and your dependent variable should contain the test scores. You should get the following confidence interval: (1.137, 5.263). If the statistical program calculates the mean of 1st - 2nd graders, you will have to reverse the confidence interval it gives you.
