Question:

A chemist developing insect repellents wishes to know if a newly developed formula gives greater protection from insect bites than that given by the leading product on the market. In the experiment, 14 volunteers each had one arm spayed with the old product and the other sprayed with the new formula. Then each subject placed his arms into two chambers filled with equal number of mosquitoes, gnats and other biting insects. The numbers of bites received on each arm are as follows:

Subject Old formula New formula Subject Old formula New formula
   1         5         3      8        4       2
   2         2        1      9        2       5
   3         5         5     10        6       2
   4         4         1     11        5       3
   5         3        1     12        7       3
   6         6        4     13        4       1
   7         2        4     14        3       3

To test the new formula is more effective than the old one:

(i) State null and alternative hypotheses

(ii) Can you apply both parametric and non-parametric tests in this problem and why?

(iii)Write the assumptions to apply the suitable parametric test.

(iv)Apply the parametric test by assuming the assumptions write in part (iii) are fulfilled and write the conclusion.

(v) Apply the non-parametric test and write the conclusion.

(vi)Compare the conclusions drawn in parts (iv) and (v)
