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 recent questionnaire about homeownership, a random sample of 545 homeowners were asked about fixed and adjustable-rate mortgages, and 268 reported that they have an adjustable-rate mortgage. What value of z should be used to calculate a confidence interval with a 95% confidence level? z0.10 z0.05 z0.025 z0.01 z0.005 1.282 1.645 1.960 2.326 2.576
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,…
The St. Lucie County Health Department needs to estimate the proportion of all children in the county aged 19-35 months that are completely up to date with all state-recommended immunizations. The St. Lucie County Health Department found that 67% of a random sample of children in the county aged 19-35 months were completely up to date with all state-recommended immunizations. Find three different confidence intervals - one with sample size 239, one with sample size 596, and one with sample size 937. Assume that 67% of the children each sample are completely up to date with all state recommended immunizations. Notice how the sample size affects the margin of error and the width of the interval. Report confidence interval solutions using interval notation. Report all solutions in percent form, rounded to two decimal places, if necessary. When n=239n=239, the margin of error for a 97% confidence interval is given b When n=239n=239, a 97% confidence interval is given by When n=596n=596,…

A survey of entry level corporate analysts in New York City asked, approximately how many hours per week do you work? A) If the population standard deviation is known to be 4.7 hours, and a random sample of 35 analysts yielded a mean of 50.5 hours, then construct a 90% confidence interval for the mean number of hours worked by entry level analysts. B) In the above confidence interval, suppose that we want a margin of error of +/- 1 hour. What sample size would be needed to achieve this? C) As mentioned in class, it is unlikely that the population standard deviation is known. Suppose instead that the sample standard deviation was 4.7 hours. Using the other values from part (a), form a 90% confidence interval for the mean number of hours worked by entry level analysts.
On the basis of the results to part A in the picture, does the manager have a right to complain to the manufacturer? does a 1 gallon paint can containing exactly 1 gallon of paint lie within the 95% confidence interval?
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:
An environmental science teacher at a high school with a large population of students wanted to estimate the proportion of students at the school who regularly recycle plastic bottles. The teacher selected a random sample of students at the school to survey. Each selected student went into the teacher’s office, one at a time, and was asked to respond yes or no to the following question. Based on the responses, a 95 percent confidence interval for the proportion of all students at the school who would respond yes to the question was calculated as (0.584, 0.816 ). (b) Given the method used by the environmental science teacher to collect the responses, explain how bias might have been introduced and describe how the bias might affect the point estimate of the proportion of all students at the school who would respond yes to the question.

(c) The statistics teacher at the high school was concerned about the potential bias in the survey. To obtain a potentially less biased estimate of the proportion, the statistics teacher used an alternate method for collecting student responses. A random sample of 300 students was selected, and each student was given the following instructions on how to respond to the question. • In private, flip a fair coin. • If heads, you…
A 90 percent confidence interval is to be created to estimate the proportion of television viewers in a certain areawho favor moving the broadcast of the late weeknight news to an hour earlier than it is currently. Initially, theconfidence interval will be created using a simple random sample of 9,000 viewers in the area. Assuming that thesample proportion does not change, what would be the relationship between the width of the original confidenceinterval and the width of a second 90 percent confidence interval that is created based on a sample of only 1,000viewers in the area?(A) The second confidence interval would be 9 times as wide as the original confidence interval.(B) The second confidence interval would be 3 times as wide as the original confidence interval.(C) The width of the second confidence interval would be equal to the width of the original confidence interval.(D) The second confidence interval would be 1/3 as wide as the original confidence interval.(E) The second…
