Construct a Confidence Interval For $\mu _ { \mathrm { d } }$

question 48

Multiple Choice

Construct a confidence interval for $\mu _ { \mathrm { d } }$ , the mean of the differences d for the population of paired data. Assume that the
population of paired differences is normally distributed.
-When performing a hypothesis test for the ratio of two population variances, the upper critical F value is denoted $\mathrm { F } _ { \mathrm { R } }$ . The lower critical $\mathrm { F }$ value, $\mathrm { F } _ { \mathrm { L } }$ , can be found as follows: interchange the degrees of freedom, and then take the reciprocal of the resulting $F$ value found in table $\mathrm { A } - 5$ . $\mathrm { F } _ { \mathrm { R } }$ can be denoted $\mathrm { F } _ { \alpha / 2 }$ and $\mathrm { F } _ { \mathrm { L } }$ can be denoted $\mathrm { F } _ { 1 - \alpha / 2 }$ .
Find the critical values $\mathrm { F } _ { \mathrm { L } }$ and $\mathrm { F } _ { \mathrm { R } }$ for a two-tailed hypothesis test based on the following values: $\mathrm { n } _ { 1 } = 4 , \mathrm { n } _ { 2 } = 8 , \alpha = 0.05$
