The captain is trying to find out which detective solves more cases per month. A random sample is run over 6 months. Detective A solves 3.5 cases per month with a SD of 0.5. Detective B solves 4.0 cases a month with a SD of 0.7. Assume equal poplulation variances.
Is there statistical evidence that the average number of cases solved per month differs at a significance level of 0.05?
What can you say about the P-value?
Construct a 95% confidence interval for the mean difference in cases solved.
A) do you just run a test for a population mean for both detectives and compare if they fall in the signifigance level?
B)would you say P(>1.645) as the significance level is a 90% confidence interval?
C) I understand how to obtain the range; however, what is the mean difference? Is it 4.0 - 3.5 = 0.5?
