Heights Use a 0.01 significance level with the sample data from Exercise 3 to test the claim that women have heights with a mean that is less than the mean height of men.

3. Heights Listed below are heights (cm) randomly selected from the sample of women and heights (cm) randomly selected from the sample of men (from Data Set 1 “Body Data” in Appendix B). Use a 95% confidence level to estimate the magnitude of the difference between the mean height of women and the mean height of men.

Definition Definition Measure of central tendency that is the average of a given data set. The mean value is evaluated as the quotient of the sum of all observations by the sample size. The mean, in contrast to a median, is affected by extreme values. Very large or very small values can distract the mean from the center of the data. Arithmetic mean: The most common type of mean is the arithmetic mean. It is evaluated using the formula: μ = 1 N ∑ i = 1 N x i Other types of means are the geometric mean, logarithmic mean, and harmonic mean. Geometric mean: The nth root of the product of n observations from a data set is defined as the geometric mean of the set: G = x 1 x 2 ... x n n Logarithmic mean: The difference of the natural logarithms of the two numbers, divided by the difference between the numbers is the logarithmic mean of the two numbers. The logarithmic mean is used particularly in heat transfer and mass transfer. ln x 2 − ln x 1 x 2 − x 1 Harmonic mean: The inverse of the arithmetic mean of the inverses of all the numbers in a data set is the harmonic mean of the data. 1 1 x 1 + 1 x 2 + ...

Fred needs to choose a password for a certain website. Assume that he will choose an 8-character password, and that the legal characters are the lowercase letters a, b, c, ..., z, the uppercase letters A, B, C, ..., Z, and the numbers 0, 1, . . ., 9. (a) How many possibilities are there if he is required to have at least one lowercase letter in his password? (b) How many possibilities are there if he is required to have at least one lowercase letter and at least one uppercase letter in his password? (c) How many possibilities are there if he is required to have at least one lowercase letter, at least one uppercase letter, and at least one number in his password?
