please solve it fast ASAP. A study was done to compare the flu incidence rates at the sart and at the end of winter of a given year. A sample of 100 persons were asked for incidence of flu twice: once at the start and once at the end of winter. Sample data were as follows: Start ofNowinterYesYes202545.:End of WinterNo1540553565100a. Test at (a=0.04) if the flu percentage at the start of winter is below 0.4?b.Give 97% Confidence Interval (CI) for incidence of flu rate(percentage) at the start of winter?c.Test at (a=0.03) if the flu percentage at the end of winter is above that at the start of winter?

In the course of designing theater seats, the sitting heights (in mm) of a simple random sample of 12 adult women is obtained. The sample mean is 834 mm and sample standard deviation is 34.98 mm. a. Assuming that sample is obtained from a population with a normal distribution, construct a 95% confidence interval estimate for ?, the population standard deviation of sitting height of adult women. b. Does the confidence interval contain 35 mm, which is believed to be the standard deviation of sitting heights of women?
In the past, 44% of those taking a public accounting qualifying exam have passed the exam on their first try. Lately, the availability of exam preparation books and tutoring sessions may have improved the likelihood of an individual’s passing on his or her first try. In a sample of 250 recent applicants, 130 passed on their first attempt. At the 0.025 level of significance, can we conclude that the proportion passing on the first try has increased? Construct a 95% confidence interval for π and using that interval, can you judge whether the proportion passing on the first try has increased?
A random sample of size 30 from a normal population yields x̅ = 69 and s = 4. The lower bound of a 95 percent confidence interval is (Round off upto 2 decimal places).
A random sample of 21 wolf litters in Ontario, Canada, gave an average of x1 = 4.7 wolf pups per litter, with estimated sample standard deviation s1 = 1.0. Another random sample of 7 wolf litters in Finland gave an average of x2 = 2.8 wolf pups per litter, with sample standard deviation s2 = 1.4. (a) Find an 85% confidence interval for ?1 – ?2, the difference in population mean litter size between Ontario and Finland. (Round your answers to one decimal place.) lower limit upper limit (b) Examine the confidence interval and explain what it means in the context of this problem. Does the interval consist of numbers that are all positive? all negative? of different signs? At the 85% level of confidence, does it appear that the average litter size of wolf pups in Ontario is greater than the average litter size in Finland? Because the interval contains only positive numbers, we can say that the average litter size of wolf pups is greater in Ontario.Because the 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…
A sample of size n= 93 is drawn from a population whose standard deviation is 47. a) Find the margin of error for a 95% confidence interval for the mean. Round your answer to at least three decimal places. b) If the confidence level were 90%, would the margin of error be larger or smaller?
A soft-drink manufacturer purchases aluminum cans from an outside vendor. A random sample of 70 cans is selected from a large shipment, and each is tested for strength by applying an increasing load to the side of the can until it punctures. Of the 70 cans, 51 meet the specification for puncture resistance. a) Find the sample size needed for a 90% confidence interval to specify the proportion to within ±0.06. Round up the answer to the nearest integer. b) If a 90% confidence interval is computed each day for 300 days, what is the probability that more than 280 of the confidence intervals cover the true proportions? Round the answer to three decimal places.
A marketing representative wants to estimate the proportion of people in a state who like the new design on the packaging of a certain cleaning product. The representative interviewed 100 people at a certain supermarket, and 82 people indicated that they liked the new design. Have the conditions for creating a confidence interval for the population proportion been met? Yes, because the sample was selected at random. A Yes, because sampling distributions of population proportions are modeled with a normal model. B Yes, because the sample is large enough to satisfy the normality conditions. C No, because the sample is not large enough to satisfy the normality conditions. D No, because the sample may not be representative of all people in the state.
The results of the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey for the year 2011-12 found that 12.9% of the adults of age 20 and more in the United States had high total cholesterol. Assume that a researcher surveys a sample size of 120 for above 20 years. Construct a 95% confidence interval estimate for the population proportion so that the cholesterol level is the same as 12.9% (PHStat). Assume that a researcher surveys a sample size of 1,200 for more than 20 years. Construct a 95% confidence interval estimate for the population proportion so that the cholesterol level is the same as 12.9%.(PHStat) Compare the results in (a) and (b).
a. From the first student's data, what percentage of men used turn signals, and what percentage of women used them? of men used turn signals, and of women used them. (Round to one decimal place as needed.) b. From the first student's data, assuming the conditions are met (although admittedly this was not a random selection), find a 95% confidence interval for the difference in percentages (men−women).State whether the interval captures 0, and explain whether this provides evidence that the proportions of men and women who use signals differ in the population. The 95%confidence interval for the difference in percentages (men−women) is (. %. %) (Round to one decimal place as needed.) c. From the second student's data, first find the percentage of men and the percentage of women who used turn signals, and then, assuming the conditions are met, find a 95% confidence interval for the difference in percentages. State whether the interval captures 0, and explain…
A sample of size n=90 is drawn from a population whose standard deviation is σ=10. (A) Find the margin of error for a 90% confidence interval for μ. Round the answer to at least three decimal places. The margin of error for a 90% confidence interval for μ is _____ (B) If the confidence level were 95%, would the margin of error be larger or smaller? Why(because the confidence level was higher or lower)?
In order to estimate the average GPA of all students at SCC, we selected a random sample of 36 students and found that their average GPA is 2.1 with a s. d. of 0.8.Construct a 95% confidence interval for the average GPA of all students at SCC.
