(5points)

View the AnswerIn the week 2 lab, you found the mean and the standard deviation for the HEIGHTvariable for both males and females.Use those values for follow these directions tocalculate the numbers again.(From week 2 lab: Calculate descriptive statistics for the variable Height by Gender.Click onInsertand thenPivot Table.Click in the top box and select all the data(including labels) fromHeightthroughGender.Also click on “new worksheet” andthenOK.On the right of the new sheet, click onHeightandGender, making sure thatGenderis in theRowsbox andHeightis in theValuesbox.Click on the down arrownext toHeightin theValuesbox and selectValue Field Settings.In the pop up box,clickAveragethenOK.Write these down.Then click on the down arrow next toHeightin theValuesbox again and selectValue Field Settings.In the pop up box, clickonStdDevthenOK.Write these values down.)You will also need the number of males and the number of females in the dataset.Youcan either use the same pivot table created above by selectingCountin theValue FieldSettings, or you can actually count in the dataset.Then in Excel (somewhere on the data file or in a blank worksheet), calculate themaximum error for the females and the maximum error for the males.To find themaximum error for the females, type=CONFIDENCE.T(0.05,stdev,#), using thefemales’ height standard deviation for “stdev” in the formula and the number of femalesin your sample for the “#”.Then you can use a calculator to add and subtract thismaximum error from the average female height for the 95% confidence interval.Do thisagain with 0.01 as the alpha in the beginning of the formula to find the 99% confidenceinterval.Find these same two intervals for the male data by using the same formula, but using themales’ standard deviation for “stdev” and the number of males in your sample for the “#”.4.Give and interpret the 95% confidence intervals for males and females on theHEIGHT variable.Which is wider and why?(7 points)5.Give and interpret the 99% confidence intervals for males and females on theHEIGHT variable.Which is wider and why?(7 points)
