A 99% confidence interval was computed for the average mean difference in survival comparing two chemotherapy drugs (A vs B) among cancer patients. The 99% confidence interval for µA - µB was (1.2, 4.4) months. a) Interpret this confidence interval. b) If you were to do a two-sided hypothesis test comparing the means, what can you say about what the p-value would be?

A researcher surveys 50 individuals in Smithville and 40 in Amherst, finding that 30% of smithville residents moved last year, while only 22% of Amherst residents did. Is there enough evidence to conclude that mobility rates in the two communities differ? Use a two-tailored alternative, and a=0.10. Again, find the p-value and a 90% confidence interval for the difference in proportions
In a random sample of 50 patients undergoing a standard surgical procedure, 15 required medication for post operative pain. In a random sample of 90 patients undergoing a new procedure, only 16 required pain medication. a)Are conditions met to perform inference onthis study? b)Construct and interpret a 95% confidence interval for the difference in the proportions of patients needing pain medication between the old and new procedures. c) A physician claims that the proportion of patients who need pain medication is the same for both procedures. Does the confidence interval contradict this claim? Why/Why not?
During a flu vaccine shortage in the United States, less than a majority of people were able to receive the vaccine. The results of a survey given to a random sample of 2,350 vaccine-eligible people indicated that 978 of the 2,350 people had received flu vaccine. a) Construct and interpret a 95 percent confidence interval for the proportion of vaccine-eligible people who had received flu vaccine.
A national poll asked, “how would you describe your job situation now compared to before the Covid-19 outbreak??” The results showed that 24% of workers in the U.S. report having a worse job situation now compared to before the COVID-19 outbreak began with a margin of error of 1.8%. (a) Assume the margin of error is reported for a 95% confidence interval, use this information to calculate a 95% confidence interval for the population proportion of persons who have a worse job situation now compared to before the outbreak. (b) Based on the calculated confidence interval, is there evidence that at least 1 out of every 4 (25%) Americans have a worse job situation not compared to before the outbreak? Explain why briefly. (c) What was the sample size of this poll? (d) If you wanted a 99% confidence interval for the same study, would your margin of error be greater than, equal to, or less than 1.8%?

A farmer wants to test the effectiveness of a pest control method in allowing strawberry blooms to yield marketable strawberries. Of a random sample of 100 blooms,77 yield marketable strawberries. Is this evidence that two-thirds or more of all blooms grown with this pest control method ends up as marketable strawberries? The 95% large-sample confidence interval for the proportion of blooms that yield marketable strawberries is?
A new television series must prove that it has more than 25% of the viewing audience after its initial 13-week run in order to be judged successful. Assume that in a sample of 400 households, 112 were watching the series. (b) Find a 99% confidence interval for the proportion of the viewing audience after its initial 13-week run
Do the t-test and test the null hypothesis that the two means are equal at the 95% confidence interval?
A 90 percent confidence interval is to be created to estimate the proportion of television viewers in a certain areawho favor moving the broadcast of the late weeknight news to an hour earlier than it is currently. Initially, theconfidence interval will be created using a simple random sample of 9,000 viewers in the area. Assuming that thesample proportion does not change, what would be the relationship between the width of the original confidenceinterval and the width of a second 90 percent confidence interval that is created based on a sample of only 1,000viewers in the area?(A) The second confidence interval would be 9 times as wide as the original confidence interval.(B) The second confidence interval would be 3 times as wide as the original confidence interval.(C) The width of the second confidence interval would be equal to the width of the original confidence interval.(D) The second confidence interval would be 1/3 as wide as the original confidence interval.(E) The second…
