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?
ESPN believed that 30 percent of Sportszone visitors were females. To test this hypothesis, it collected audience profile data at the ESPN SportsZone Web site and found that 36% of the visitors were females. Assume that this sample value was based on a sample of 300 users. Test its hypothesis using 95% confidence level.
The Genetics and IVF Institute conducted a clinical trial of the YSORT method designed to increase the probability of conceiving a boy. As of this writing, 291 babies were born to parents using the YSORT method and 239 of them were boys. a) What is the best point estimate of the population proportion of boys born to parents using the YSORT method? b) Use the sample data to construct a 99% confidence interval estimate of the proportion of boys born to parents using the YSORT method. c) Based on the results, does the YSORT method appear to be effective? Why or why not?
In a survey of 1,954 cellphone owners, adults aged 18 and over, 743 reported that they use their phone to keep themselves occupied during commercials or breaks in something they were watching on television, while 430 used their phone to check whether something they heard on television is true. Construct a 90% confidence interval estimate for the population proportion of adult cellphone owners who report that they use their phone to check whether something they heard on television was true. What is the margin of error? Lower limit: Upper limit: Margin of error = Hint: Use PHStat and answers should be accurate to 4 decimal places.
