Using the normal table or t-table, determine the critical z-value to use in calculating a 95% confidence interval for a proportion. Enter your answer to two decimal places (i.e. use the exact value from the table).
Sales team of a New Ventures Company is in the process of introducing a new product. As an initial step company conducted a survey of prospective customers. Estimate how large a sample should company take if they want to estimate the proportion of people who will buy the product to within 3%, with 99% confidence. A researcher has taken a random sample of 8 observation from a normal population. Sample mean and standard deviations are 75 and 50 respectively. Using the 6 steps process of hypothesis testing. Can he infer at the 10% significance level that the population mean is less than 100? Can he infer at the 10% significance level that the population mean is less than 100 if population standard deviation is 50? Review the answers in (i) and (ii) and explain why the test statistics differed.
Eliquis The drug Eliquis (apixaban) is used to help prevent blood clots in certain patients. In clinical trials, among 5924 patients treated with Eliquis, 153 developed the adverse reaction of nausea (based on data from Bristol-Myers Squibb Co.). Use the bootstrap method to construct a 99% confidence interval estimate of the proportion patients who experience nausea. Use 1000 bootstrap samples. How does the result compare to the confidence?
The recent survey about a general election presented that 40 voters supports the Democratic Party. A random sample of 200 voters was taken. What is the mean of the distribution of the sample proportion? Calculate the margin of error of the 95% confidence interval. What is the value of the lower limit of a confidence interval at the 95% level of confidence for the population proportion ?
TOTAL PLASMA VOLUME IS IMPORTANT IN DETERMINING THE REQUIRED PLASMA COMPONENT IN BLOOD REPLACEMENT THERAPY FOR A PERSON UNDERGOING SURGERY. PLASMA VOLUME IS INFLUENCED BY THE OVERALL HEALTH AND PHYSICAL ACTIVITY OF AN INDIVIDUAL. SUPPOSE THAT A RANDOM SAMPLE OF 45 MALE FIREFIGHTERS ARE TESTED AND THAT THEY HAVE A PLASMA VOLUME SAMPLE MEAN OF 37.5ML/KG WITH A STANDARD DEVIATION OF 7.50ML/KG. 1) Find a 95% confidence interval for the mean blood plasma volume in male firefighters. Interpretthe interval. 2) The Chief Scientist at the lab wants the estimation of the mean blood plasma volume to be correctto within 1 unit of the true mean with 95% probability. How many additional firefighters have tobe sampled in order to achieve this estimation accuracy?
The state highway department is studying traffic patterns on one of the busiest highways in the state. As part of the study, the department needs to estimate the average number of vehicles that pass an intersection each day. A random sample of 64 days gives us a sample mean of 14,205 cars and a sample standard deviation of 1,010 cars. What is the 95 percent confidence interval estimate of μ, the mean number of cars passing the intersection? Show the complete calculation steps.
Total plasma volume is important in determining the required plasma component in blood replacement therapy for a person undergoing surgery. Plasma volume is influenced by the overall health and physical activity of an individual. Suppose that a random sample of 44 male firefighters are tested and that they have a plasma volume sample mean of x = 37.5 ml/kg (milliliters plasma per kilogram body weight). Assume that ? = 7.50 ml/kg for the distribution of blood plasma. When finding an 99% confidence interval, what is the critical value for confidence level? (Give your answer to two decimal places.) zc = (a) Find a 99% confidence interval for the population mean blood plasma volume in male firefighters. What is the margin of error?

Interpolation methods are used to estimate heights above sea level for locations where direct measurements are unavailable. In an article in the Journal of Survey Engineering, a weightedaverage method of interpolation for estimating heights from GPS measurements is evaluated. The method made large errors (errors whose magnitude was above a commonly accepted threshold) at 26 of the 74 sample test locations. Find a 90% confidence interval for the proportion of locations at which this method will make large errors.
Total plasma volume is important in determining the required plasma component in blood replacement therapy for a person undergoing surgery. Plasma volume is influenced by the overall health and physical activity of an individual.

The background concentration of a chemical in soil was measured on ten random specimens of soil from an uncontaminated area. The measured concentrations, in mg/kg, are: 1.4, 0.6, 1.2, 1.6, 0.5, 0.7, 0.3, 0.8, 0.2, and 0.9. Soil from a neighboring area will be declared “contaminated” if test specimens contain a chemical concentration higher than the upper 99% confidence limit of the background level. What is the cleanup target concentration?
