34. Joseph was curious to determine if scent improves memory. A test was created where better memory is indicated by higher test scores. A controlled experiment was performed where one group was given the test on scented paper and the other group was given the test on unscented paper. The summary statistics from the experiment are given below.
Calculate the difference in means in the experimental test grades (scented – unscented).
A simulation was conducted in which the subjects’ scores were rerandomized into two groups 1000 times. The differences of the group means were calculated each time. The results are shown below.
Use the simulation results to determine the interval representing the middle 95% of the difference in means, to the nearest hundredth.
Is the difference in means in Joseph’s experiment statistically significant based on the simulation? Explain.

One model for ranking websites is P(x) log(x 4), where x is the number of visits per week in thousands and P(x) is the website’s popularity rating. According to this model, if a website is visited 16,000 times in one week, what is its popularity rating, rounded to the nearest tenth?
Graph y = P(x) on the axes below.
An alternative rating model is represented by R(x) = 1/2 x - 6, where x is the number of visits per week in thousands. Graph R(x) on the same set of axes. For what number of weekly visits will the two models provide the same rating?
