In a study of the accuracy of fast food drive-through orders, Restaurant A had 256 accurate orders and 71 that were not accuratea. Construct a 95% confidence interval entimate of the percentage of orders that are not accurale.b. Compare the results from part (a) to this 95% confidence interval for the percentage of orders that are not accurate at Restaurant B: 0.195

Solution-: We have, Number of accurate orders=256 Number of inaccurate orders= 71 Therefore, The…

A research group studying cell phone habits asked the question “Do you ever use your cell phone to make a payment at a convenience store?” to people selected from two random samples of cell phone users. One sample consisted of older adults, ages 35 years and older, and the other sample consisted of younger adults, ages 18 years to 34 years. The proportion of people who answered yes in each sample was used to create a 95 percent confidence interval of (0.097,0.125)(0.097,0.125) to estimate the difference (younger minus older) between the population proportions of people who would answer yes to the question. Which of the following is the best description of what is meant by 95 percent confidence? In repeated random sampling with the same sample size, approximately 95% of the sample proportions from the younger group will be between 0.097 and 0.125 greater than the sample proportion from the older group. A In repeated random sampling with the same sample size,…
Suppose that a safety group surveyed 1,100 drivers. Among those surveyed, 65% said that careless or aggressive driving was the biggest threat on the road, and 25% said that cell phone usage by other drivers was the driving behavior that annoyed them the most. Based on these data and assuming that the sample was a simple random sample, construct and interpret a 95% confidence interval estimate for the true proportion in the population of all drivers who are annoyed by cell phone users. The confidence interval estimate is ??––––––??> (Round to three decimal places as needed. Use ascending order.) Interpret the confidence interval estimate. A. There is a 0.95 probability that the population proportion of drivers who are annoyed by cell phone users is in the interval. B. There is 95% confidence that the population proportion of drivers who are annoyed by cell phone users is in the interval. C. There is 95% confidence that the population proportion…

The production manager in an automobile plant is concerned with the number of cars that do not pass the final quality control inspection. In the last two hours he noted that in a sample of 120 cars only 92 were acceptable. The lower and upper limit of a 95% confidence interval for the true percentage of all cars that would not pass the final quality control inspection would be:
In a study designed to assess the side effects of two drugs, 50 animals were given drug A, and 50 animals were given Drug B. Of the 50 receiving Drug A, 11 showed undesirable side effects, while 8 of those receiving Drug B reacted similarly. Find the 98% confidence interval for the true difference in population proportions, pˆ A − pˆ B.
A computer software magazine compares the rates of malware infection for computers protected by security software A with the rates of infection for computers protected by security software B.They found that out of 787 computers with security software A, 72 became infected with some type of malware after 1000 hours of internet interaction. For security software B, 37 out of 834 computers became infected after 1000 hours of internet interaction.Assuming these to be random samples of infection rates for the two security software packages, construct a 98% confidence interval for the difference between the proportions of infection for the two types of security software packages. Interpret the results. Does the confidence interval contradict the claim that the proportion of infections is the same for the two types of security software?
In a survey of 500 students, 180 students said that they prefer classes on Mondays and Wednesdays rather than on Tuesdays and Thursdays. Using a 95% confidence interval, answer the following questions. a. What is the margin of error for this study? b. Construct a 95% confidence interval that estimates the proportion of students that prefer classes on Mondays and Wednesdays.
Suppose that a safety group surveyed 800 drivers. Among those surveyed, 83% said that careless or aggressive driving was the biggest threat on the road, and 34% said that cell phone usage by other drivers was the driving behavior that annoyed them the most. Based on these data and assuming that the sample was a simple random sample, construct and interpret a 95% confidence interval estimate for the true proportion in the population of all drivers who are annoyed by cell phone users. The confidence interval estimate is ??––––––?? (Round to three decimal places as needed. Use ascending order.) Interpret the confidence interval estimate. A. There is a 0.95 probability that the population proportion of drivers who are annoyed by cell phone users is in the interval. B.

An epidemiologist is worried about the prevalence of the flu in East Vancouver and the potential shortage of vaccines for the area. She will need to provide a recommendation for how to allocate the vaccines appropriately across the city. She takes a simple random sample of 339 people living in East Vancouver and finds that 40 have recently had the flu. For each of the following statements, specify whether the statement is a correct interpretation of the 95% confidence interval for the true proportion of East Vancouver residents who have recently had the flu. A. 11.80% (40/339) of East Vancouver residents have recently had the flu. ? true false B. There is a 95% probability that the true proportion of East Vancouver residents who have recently had the flu equals 40/339. ? true false C. If another random sample of 339 East Vancouver residents is drawn, there is a 95% probability that the sample proportion of East Vancouver residents who have recently had the flu equals 40/339. ?…
A researcher surveys 50 individuals in Smithville and 40 in Amherst, finding that 30% of smithville residents moved last year, while only 22% of Amherst residents did. Is there enough evidence to conclude that mobility rates in the two communities differ? Use a two-tailored alternative, and a=0.10. Again, find the p-value and a 90% confidence interval for the difference in proportions
The International Nanny Association (INA) reports that in a sample of 928 in- home child care providers (nannies), 128 have passed the INA Nanny Credential Exam (2014 International Nanny Association Salary and Benefits Survey). A. Use Wilson’s adjustment to find a 95% confidence interval for the true proportion of all nannies who have passed the INA certification exam. B. We want to decide whether the proportion of who passed the INA certification exam exceeds than .12 answer both a and b.
