In a population where the proportion of people who have the ability to taste umami is unknown. a random sample of 100 people were tested and 74 could clearly distinguish umami from saltiness. What is the sample proportion? Also, Create a 99% confidence interval for the true proportion of people in this region who can taste umami. Does this interval support the fact the majority of this region can taste umami? Why or why not and explain using the value of the confidence interva

In a random sample of 70 patients undergoing a standard surgical procedure, 16 required medication for postoperative pain. In a random sample of 85 patients undergoing a new procedure, only 17 required medication.Construct a 98% confidence interval for the difference in the proportions of patients needing pain medication between the old and new procedures. Interpret the results. A physician claims that the proportion of patients who need pain medication is the same for both procedures. Does the confidence interval contradict the claim?
In a 2017 survey was conducted on what was the best day of the week. The result indicated that 90% of people chose Saturday over Wednesday. If 10,000 people were surveyed and we used a 90% degree of confidence find the estimated margin of error and the confidence interval for this type of study. Even though many would agree that Wednesday may be a better day. What does the results recommended?
In one of the studies, it was found that, in a random sample of 261 married persons, 135 were smokers while in a sample of 239 non-married persons there were 131 smokers. a) Find a 90% confidence interval for the true difference in proportion of smokers among the married and non-married populations. Interpret this confidence interval. b) Based on the above interval, can one conclude that there is a significant difference between the proportions of smokers in the two populations ? Justify your answer. c) Do a formal hypothesis testing to test whether the two populations’ proportions are significantly different. Use α = 0.10 and a p−value method. Set up the appropriate null and alternative hypotheses. Is the conclusion same as the one in part(b)?
A Surprising fact indicates that a small proportion of teens use a password on their mobile device. A poll chooses a simple random sample of 120 teens and asks if they use a password on their mobile device. The results showed that 56 of teens in our sample used a password on their mobile device. Find a 90 % confidence interval for the proportion of teens who use a password on their mobile device. Interpret your confidence interval.
In a sample of 16 fish from my pond it was found that 5 are under 165 grams in weight. Based on this sample data, and USING IT to estimate the standard error, what is the MARGIN OF ERROR for the 95 percent confidence interval for the true proportion of fish in my pond weighing under 165 grams?
A nutritionist believes that obesity is more prevalent among American adults than it was in the past. He discovers that in a study conducted in the year 1994, 380 of 1630 randomly chosen adults were classified as obese. However, in a more recent study, he finds 726 out of 2350 randomly chosen adults were classified as obese. construct a 95% confidence interval for the difference in proportions p1-p2
A computer store near campus is stocking its shelves, and wants to know the relative proportions of UCI undergraduates who use PCs vs Macs. A random sample of 60 UCI undergraduates is surveyed, and each student is asked whether they use a PC or Mac more often. 55% select ”PC.” The confidence interval is pretty wide and leaves a lot of uncertainty over the proportion of UCI undergarduates who use PCs. With the goal to estimate a narrower 95% confidence interval, what is a simple change to this study that you could suggest for the next time that a similar survey is conducted? (for the confidence interval I got the answer (0.4241, 0.6759)
In a study designed to determine whether there was a cluster of brain cancer cases at a Pratt & Whitney plant, record from 223,000 employees were studied and 723 employees with brain tumors were found. Treat those employees as a random sample and construct a 95% confidence interval estimate of the proportion of all adults who develop such tumors. write a brief statement interpreting that confidence interval.
A researcher takes a random sample of 100 Americans that have never had a pet and a separate random sample of 100 Americans that are current or previous pet owners. She is interested in determining whether there is a difference in the proportion of individuals who believe in the afterlife among these two groups. She observes that 76 of the "never pet owners" and 84 of the "ever pet owners" believe in the afterlife. Determine the margin of error for a confidence interval for the difference in the two appropriate proportions at a 95% confidence level. a. The assumptions necessary to perform the calculation are not satisfied. b. 0.0837 c. 0.0719 d. 0.1103 e. 1.96

In the Star and Tribune newspaper, there is an article entitled “1 in 8 school buses fail tests.” The article says that the overall statewide proportion of school buses that fail safety tests is 9%. However, one bus company has a higher rate of over 12%. Assume that we want a new estimate for the statewide proportion of school buses that fail the safety inspection. How large a sample would you have to take in order to construct a 95% confidence interval estimate for the true proportion of buses that fail the inspection and achieve a margin of error of plus or minus 5%?
