... A historian believes that the average height of soldiers in World War II was greater than that of soldiers in World War I. She examines a random sample of records of 100 men in each war and notes standard deviations of 2.5 and 2.3 inches in World War I and World War II, respectively. If the average ...

Hypothesis testing for means
... As we shall see, in any of the contexts we consider, we could work out a confidence interval, or we could carry out a hypothesis test. This raises obvious questions of principle and practice. Should we prefer one or the other? Are the two connected somehow, as intuition suggest they must be? If so, ...

Using SAS to Analyze the Summary Data

For example, if means and standard deviations are known for two independent groups, it i ...
