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:
A new television series must prove that it has more than 25% of the viewing audience after its initial 13-week run in order to be judged successful. Assume that in a sample of 400 households, 112 were watching the series. (b) Find a 99% confidence interval for the proportion of the viewing audience after its initial 13-week run
In a study of the accuracy of fast food drive-through orders, restaurant a had 346 accurate orders and 61 that were not accurate. Construct a 90% confidence interval estimate of the percentage of orders that are not accurate. Compare the results from part A to this 90% confidence interval for the percentage of orders that are not accurate at restaurant B: 0.132< P < 0.189. What do you conclude?
Suppose that a safety group surveyed 1,200 drivers. Among those surveyed,78% said that careless or aggressive driving was the biggest threat on the road, and 33% 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 99% 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 _____ to _____. (Round to three decimal places as needed. Use ascending order.)
In a study of the accuracy of fast food drive-through orders, Restaurant A had 266 accurate orders and 54 that were not accurate. Construct a 90% confidence interval estimate of the percentage of orders that are not accurate. Compare the results from part (a) to this 90% confidence interval for the percentage of orders that are not accurate at Restaurant B: 0.148 <p < 0.218. What do you conclude? Construct a 90% confidence interval. Express the percentages in decimal form
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,…
A sociologist is interested in surveying workers in computer-related jobs to estimate the proportion of such workers who have changed jobs within the past year. a) In the absence of preliminary data, how large a sample must be taken to ensure that a 95% confidence interval will specify the proportion to within ±0.05? b) In a sample of 100 workers, 20 of them had changed jobs within the past year. Find a 95% confidence interval for the proportion of workers who have changed jobs within the past year. c) Based on the data in part (b), estimate the sample size needed so that the 95% confidence interval will specify the proportion to within ±0.05.
A healthcare information company is interested in estimating the average charge for a standard patient visit to a chiropractor in Maryland, after applying the discount negotiated with a large HMO plan. Data is collected from 16 randomly selected chiropractic practices in Maryland, and the following are some summary statistics:- Mean charge: 25.50 USD- SD of charges: 2.10 USDAssuming the charge data is normally distributed for all chiropractic practices in Maryland, estimate a 95% confidence interval for the mean amount charged by Maryland chiropractors (t (15, 0.05) = 2.13):
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
In a random sample of 50 patients undergoing a standard surgical procedure, 15 required medication for post operative pain. In a random sample of 90 patients undergoing a new procedure, only 16 required pain medication. a)Are conditions met to perform inference onthis study? b)Construct and interpret a 95% confidence interval for the difference in the proportions of patients needing pain medication between the old and new procedures. c) A physician claims that the proportion of patients who need pain medication is the same for both procedures. Does the confidence interval contradict this claim? Why/Why not?
