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
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:
In a study designed to determine whether there was a cluster of brain cancer cases at a Pratt & Whitney plant, record from 223,000 employees were studied and 723 employees with brain tumors were found. Treat those employees as a random sample and construct a 95% confidence interval estimate of the proportion of all adults who develop such tumors. write a brief statement interpreting that confidence interval.
A doctor claims that the mean number of hours of sleep that seniors in high school get per night differs from the mean number of hours of sleep college seniors get per night. To investigate, he selects a random sample of 50 high school seniors from all high schools in his county. He also selects a random sample of 50 seniors from the colleges in his county. He constructs a 95% confidence interval for the true mean difference in the number of hours of sleep for seniors in high school and seniors in college. The resulting interval is (0.57, 1.25). Based upon the interval, can the doctor conclude that mean number of hours of sleep that seniors in high school get per night differs from the mean number of hours of sleep college seniors get per night? yes because 1 is in the confidence interval yes because 0 is not in the confidence interval no because 1 is in the confidence interval no because 0 is not in the confidence interval

A university dean is interested in determining the proportion of students who receive some sort of financial aid. Rather than examine the records for all students, the dean randomly selects 200 students and finds that 125 of them are receiving financial aid. Use a 95% confidence interval to estimate the population proportion of students who receive financial aid.
A college administrator is interested in determining the proportion of students who receive some sort of financial aid. Instead of examining the records for all students, the administrator randomly draws 120 students and finds that 48 of them are receiving financial aid. Use a 90% confidence interval to estimate the true proportion of students who receive financial aid.
In a recent Zogby International Poll, nine of 48 respondents rated the likelihood of a terrorist attack in their community as “likely” or “very likely”. Use the “plus four” method to create a 98% confidence interval for the proportion of American adults who believe that a terrorist attack in their community is likely or very likely. Interpret your confidence interval.
