Determine if each of the following statements is true or false, and explain why. A 95% confidence interval is always narrower than a 99% confidence interval (provided the intervals are constructed using the exact same data). If a two-sided test finds sufficient evidence that using the 5% significance level, then the corresponding 95% confidence interval will contain If you have just constructed a 90% confidence interval, then there is a 90% chance that the interval contains the true value of the parameter of interest.

A If n=21, ¯x (x-bar)=34, and s=8, construct a confidence interval at a 98% confidence level. Assume the data came from a normally distributed population. Give your answers to one decimal place.
. A researcher collects a sample of 24 measurements from a population and wishes to find a 99% confidence interval for the population mean. What value should he use for t*? b. If he instead decides to use a 95% confidence interval, will the interval be wider or be narrower or stay the same? Why?
In an article in the Journal of Advertising, Weinberger and Spotts compare the use of humor in television ads in the United States and the United Kingdom. They found that a substantially greater percentage of U.K. ads use humor.a. Suppose that a random sample of 400 television ads in the United Kingdom reveals that 142 of these ads use humor. Find a point estimate of and a 95 percent confidence interval for the proportion of all U.K. television ads that use humor.b. Suppose a random sample of 500 television ads in the United States reveals that 122 of these ads use humor. Find a point estimate of and a 95 percent confidence interval for the proportion of all U.S. television ads that use humor.c. Do the confidence intervals you computed in parts a and b suggest that a greater percentage of U.K. ads use humor? Explain.
For the data set below, calculate r, r2, and a 95 percent confidence interval in r units. Then write a one- to two sentence conclusion statement that includes whether the null hypothesis was rejected or not and whether there is a strong /weak/no relationship.

In practice, if we don’t know whether the population is normal and our sample size is less than 30, when can we proceed with inference for confidence intervals and hypothesis testing? a)When α is set very low b)When the number of successes exceeds the number of failures c)When the sample standard deviation is not large d)When the data is single-peaked and there are no outliers
Consider the following two clinical trials concerning an investigational drug given for the treatment of cancer. #1: 100 people are administered the drug and 40 of the people respond. #2: 60 people are administered the drug and 24 of those people respond. Both trials have a 40% response rate. Construct a 95% confidence interval for the response rate for each trial. Which trial has a narrower confidence interval? a. Clinical trial #1 b. Clinical trial #2 c. The confidence intervals are the same width d. Unable to determine without additional information
