Confidence Intervals
In this data analysis, you will investigate confidence intervals to gain a deeper understanding of
how and why they're constructed. You may find it useful to review the notes from week 5
before proceeding with this assignment.
I
f you haven’t already done so, work through the tutorial provided on the Data Analysis
5
Canvas page. Once you’ve worked through the tutorial, write up your responses to the
questions listed throughout the tutorial. The same questions are included below to help you
format your submissions.
Submit a PDF copy of your responses to Gradescope by the deadline stated on Canvas.
Part 1: Confidence Interval for a Proportion
Question 1 (1 point)
What proportion of the adults in your sample think climate change affects their local
community? Hint: Just like we did with the population, we can calculate the proportion of those
in this sample who think climate change affects their local community.
62% of the adults in my sample think climate change affects their local community.
Question 2 (2 points)
Would you expect another student’s sample proportion to be identical to yours? Would you
expect it to be similar? Why or why not?
I wouldn
’
t expect
another’s
student sample proportion to be comparable to mine, because I
took a random sample from the population, and because it
’
s random each sample is going tio
have a higher chance of being different.
Question 3 (2 points)
Check that the success-failure conditions needed to apply the Central Limit Theorem to the
sample proportion are met in this case. Show your work.
Question 4 (3 points)
Suppose you instead wanted to construct a confidence interval with a different confidence
level. How can you determine the necessary critical values in R for the following confidence
levels? Your answers must include the R code used to find the critical value.
a.
A 95% confidence interval
b.
An 85% confidence interval
c.
A 99% confidence interval
Code:
Answers:
Question 5 (2 points)
Using the point estimate from the sample of size n=180 you generated earlier, construct
a
95%
confidence interval for the true population proportion p. Show your work.
Code:
Answer:
Question 6 (1 point)
Does your confidence interval capture the true population proportion of US adults who think
climate change affects their local community, p=0.62?
My confidence interval does capture the TRUE population of US adults who think climate
change affects their local community.
Question 7 (1 point)
There are 280 students enrolled in ST 314 this term. Each student should have gotten a slightly
different 95% confidence interval due to random sampling. How many of 280 confidence
intervals constructed do you expect to have captured the true population proportion p=0.62?
Using the following reasoning, we can determine the number of confidence intervals that are
anticipated to capture the true population proportion, p=0.62. A 95% confidence interval
suggests that there is a 95% chance that it contains the true population parameter, so we
would anticipate that 95% of the intervals will capture the true proportion. Thus, we would
anticipate that about 0.95 × 280 intervals would capture the actual fraction out of 280
intervals.

Now, using the completed contingency table, select the statements from the following list that are true. Note: a statement is true only if the value you
calculated from the completed contingency table, when rounded to the same number of decimal places as in the statement, is the same as the value in the
statement.
18.1% of skin cancers appear on the head
71.4% of skin cancers were melanomas or appeared on the head
Given the skin cancer is something other than melanoma, the probability it is not on the extremities is 0.443
Of skin cancers appearing on the trunk, 46.9% are not melanomas

Alejandro is selling HDMI cables on eBay, and is trying to determine the best price to sell at. For the last 10 weeks, he has adjusted his price slightly each week and tracked the number of cables he sold. He plotted the results, and drew a line he feels fits the data well.
Price ($) 3, 3.25, 3.5, 3.75, 4, 4.25, 4.5, 4.75, 5
Quantity Sold - 50, 100, 150, 200, 250
a) The line of best fit passes through the points (3.50, 230) and (4.75, 210). Find an equation for the line.
Use variables: p for price in dollars, and Q for quantity of cables sold.
b) Using this model, predict the number of cables Alejandro would sell at a price of $3.65, to the nearest whole cable.
