- Determine the appropriate critical value. Select the correct choice below and fill in the answer box within your choice.arrow_forwardWhen two births are randomly selected, the sample space for genders is bb, bg. gb, and gg. Assume that those four outcomes are equally likely. Construct a table that describes the sampling distribution of the sample proportion of girls from two births. Does the mean of the sample proportions equal the proportion of girls in two births? Does the result suggest that a sample proportion an unbiased estimator of a population proportion? For the entire population, assume the probability of having a boy is the probability of having a girl is , and this is not affected by how many boys or girls have previously been born. 2 Determine the probabilities of each sample proportion.

Historical records show that 80% of test subjects pass the test. To pass the test, a subject must exactly repeat all the digits in the number after two hours. A random sample of 625 people to take the memory test is going to be chosen. Let p be the proportion of people in the sample who pass the test. Answer the following. (If necessary, consult a list of formulas.) (a) Find the mean of P. 0 (b) Find the standard deviation of p. 0 (c) Compute an approximation for P(P >0.84), which is the probability that more than 84% of the people in the sample pass the test. Round your answer to four decimal places. 0 Xarrow_forward
- Suppose a political science student wants to know whether gender is related in some way to Americans' views on environmental-protection standards. Since this student has an internship at the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), he asks a simple random sample of 72 EPA employees whether they feel that current environmental regulations are adequate or inadequate. The student summarizes his data in a contingency table so that he can analyze it with a chi-square test for independence. Men Women Adequate 10 16 Inadequate 13 33 The requirements for a chi-square test for independence are not met because the sample is biased. at least one expected cell count is less than 1. either the row or column totals are not random. the categories overlap or do not contain all sample members. the observations are not independent.arrow_forwardResearchers asked two groups of people to construct a jigsaw puzzle. One group of 55 people, who listened to soft classical music while working, had a mean construction time of 45 minutes. Another group of 45 people, who worked in silence, had a mean construction time of 55 minutes. Assume the population standard deviations for the construction times for people listening to classical music and people working in silence are 9.5 minutes and 11 minutes, respectively. Find the upper bound of the 99% confidence interval for the difference in population construction times between people listening to classical music as they work and people working in silence. Let the people listening to classical music be the first sample, and let the people working in silence be the second sample. Assume the samples are random and independent. Assume that both the population distributions are normally distributed.

Of these: 20 girls choose toy 1 and 30 girls choose toy 2; 30 boys choose toy 1 and 20 choose toy 2. Set up a 2 x 2 contingency table and run a chi-square test. Look at the p-value. So - is there a significant sex difference in toy preference?

- Three different people take simple random samples of size 400 from a box of 100,000 tickets, each marked 0 or 1, without knowing its contents. The number of 1's in the first sample is 72. In the second, it is 84. In the third, it is 98. Each person estimates the SE by the bootstrap method.

Each algorithm is applied to a group of 7373 sample problems. The new algorithm completes the sample problems with a mean time of 24.2824.28 hours. The current algorithm completes the sample problems with a mean time of 26.9726.97 hours. Assume the population standard deviation for the new algorithm is 3.5873.587 hours, while the current algorithm has a population standard deviation of 4.0394.039 hours. Conduct a hypothesis test at the 0.050.05 level of significance of the claim that the new algorithm has a lower mean completion time than the current algorithm. Let μ1μ1 be the true mean completion time for the new algorithm and μ2μ2 be the true mean completion time for the current algorithm.
