  1. AP Statistics Project

  2. Question • Are boys in Lincoln faster at running the 100 meter dash than boys in Omaha?

  3. Data • Gathered times from random meets between the years 2004 and 2012 • Boys 100 M dash • 30 Lincoln runners times • 30 Omaha runners times

  4. Conditions • Independent- Runners times are independent of one another • Random- Random meets from the last 8 years • 10% Condition- 30 is less than 10% of all runners • Group Independence- Lincoln and Omaha are independent of one another

  5. Nearly Normal

  6. Nearly Normal OmahaTimes- Boys 100 M

  7. Hypothesis • HO: µL-µO = 0 No difference in runners times • HA: : µL-µO > 0 Omaha runners are faster

  8. Mechanics • 2 Sample T- Test Inpt: data List1:L1 List2:L2 Freq1:1 Freq2:1 µ1 >µ2 Pooled: No • t=3.117 • p=.00142 • df=57078

  9. Conclusion • Due to low p-value, we reject the null. • Given that there is no difference between Lincoln and Omaha’s times, .142% of the time Lincoln will be slower due to natural variability. • Evidence suggests that Lincoln times are slower than Omaha times in the boys 100 m.

  10. Mechanics • 2 Sample T-Interval Inpt: data List1:L1 List2:L2 Freq1:1 Freq2:1 C-Level:.95 Pooled:No • (.0567, .260) • df=57.78

  11. Conclusion • We are 95% confident that the average runners times are between 5.67% and 26% slower.
