A company that records and sells rewritable DVDS wants to compare the reliability of DVD fabricating machines produced by two different manufacturers. They randomly select 500 DVDS produced by each fabricator and find that 484 of the disks produced by the first machine are acceptable and 480 of the disks produced by the second machine are acceptable. We would like to calculate a confidence interval for p1 - P2, the true difference in the proportion of acceptable DVDS produced by each machine. Which of the following conditions are met? I. Independent random samples II. 10% condition III. Large Counts O All conditions are met O None of the conditions have been met. O Il only O I only O l and II O II only

According to a report on sleep deprivation by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the proportion of California residents who reported insufficient rest or sleep during each of the preceding 30 days is 8.0%, while this proportion is 8.8% for Oregon residents. These data are based on simple random samples of 11,545 California and 4,691 Oregon residents. Calculate a 95% confidence interval for the difference between the proportions of Californians and Oregonians who are sleep deprived and interpret it in context of the data.

Calculate a 95% confidence interval for the difference between the proportions of Californians and Oregonians who are sleep deprived and interpret it in context of the data. Also, conduct a hypothesis, with alpha = 0.05, test to determine if these data provide strong evidence the rate of sleep deprivation is different for the two states. Construct a 95% confidence interval Which of the following correctly displays the standard error? 0.0046 0.009 0.001 0.00002 0.008
The production manager in an automobile plant is concerned with the number of cars that do not pass the final quality control inspection. In the last two hours he noted that in a sample of 120 cars only 92 were acceptable. The lower and upper limit of a 95% confidence interval for the true percentage of all cars that would not pass the final quality control inspection would be:
The manager of a local fast-food restaurant is concerned about evil customers who ask for a free cup of water when placing an order, but then fill the cup with a soft drink from the beverage fountain! Themanager selects a random sample of 80 customers who asked for a water cup and found that 23 ofthose customers filled the cup with soda from the beverage fountain. Construct and interpret a 95%confidence interval for the proportion of all customers who, having asked for a cup of water whenplacing an order, will fill the cup with a soft drink from the beverage fountain. Be sure to go through theentire PANIC process.

These data are based on simple random samples of 11,545 California and 4,691 Oregon residents. Suppose we want to calculate a 99% confidence interval for the difference between the proportions of Californians and Oregonians who are sleepdeprived. 1. State the critical value for the interval (3 decimal places): 2. State the difference between the sample proportions, POregon-PCalifornia (3 decimal places): 3. State the standard error of the difference between the proportions (3 decimal places): 4. State the confidence interval being sure to use proper notation (3 decimal places each):
Suppose the police are able to take a SRS of cars and find that 12.3% of the cars in their sample have a safety violation with a margin of error of 2% for a 95% confidence interval. What is the confidence interval?
A recent survey showed that from a sample of 500 packages delivered by a Postal Service, 480 were delivered on time. a. Construct a 95% confidence interval for the proportion of all packages that are delivered on time by the Postal Service. b. The manager of the Postal Services claims that 98% of their mail are delivered on time. Test at the 1% significance level to determine whether the true proportion is less than 98%.
A certain article indicates that in a sample of 1,000 dog owners, 690 said that they take more pictures of their dog than of their significant others or friends, and 490 said that they are more likely to complain to their dog than to a friend. Suppose that it is reasonable to consider this sample as representative of the population of dog owners. Construct a 95% confidence interval for the proportion of dog owners who are more likely to complain to their dog than to a friend. (Use a table or technology. Round your answers to three decimal places.)
In order to estimate the overall proportion of students who favor a shorter semester system, we selected a simple random sample of 36 students and found that 24 of them favor a shorter semester system.(a) Construct a 90% confidence interval for the overall proportion of students who favor a shorter semester system.(b) Find the margin of error associated with this c.i. and interpret the answer in plain language.(c) In order for the margin of error to be no greater than 0.1 (or 10 percentage points), how large a sample should be drawn instead?
An auditor of the USPS wants to examine its special two day mail handling to determine the proportion of parcels that actually arrive within the promised two day period. A randomly selected sample of 1600 such parcels is found to contain 1250 that were delivered on time. The USPS claims that more than 75% of parcels are delivered on time. Does a 95% confidence interval support this claim?
