In Exercises 9–22, use technology to create the large number of bootstrap samples. Medical Malpractice In a study of 1228 randomly selected medical malpractice lawsuits, it was found that 856 of them were dropped or dismissed (based on data from the Physicians Insurers Association of America). Use the bootstrap method to construct a 95% confidence interval estimate of the proportion of lawsuits that are dropped or dismissed. Use 1000 bootstrap samples. How does the result compare to the confidence interval found in Exercise 16 “Medical Malpractice” from Section 7-1 on page 312?

SARS (the South African Revenue Service) believes that it takes typical salary-earning taxpayers less time on average, to complete their tax return using eFiling (the online tax return submission system). SARS randomly selected 12 salary-earning taxpayers who had registered for eFiling, and recorded their time to complete the eFiling process. The completion times (in minutes) for the sample of 12 taxpayers are given in the table below: 42 56 29 35 47 37 39 29 45 35 51 55 Estimate the 95% confidence interval for the time it takes for typical salary earning taxpayers to complete their tax return using eFiling. 3. A national bank analysed a random sample of 365 cheque accounts at their Durban branch and found that 78 of them were overdrawn. Estimate, with 92% confidence, the percentage of all bank accounts at the Tshwane branch of the bank that were not overdrawn. Interpret the findings. 4. If �bar = 85, σ = 8 and n = 64, set up a 97% confidence interval estimate of the population…
In a study of government financial aid for college students, it becomes necessary to estimate the percentage of full-time college students who earn a bachelor's degree in four years or less. Find the sample size needed to estimate that percentage. Use a 0.03 margin of error and use a confidence level 90%.
In an article in Marketing Science, Silk and Berndt investigate the output of advertising agencies. They describe ad agency output by finding the shares of dollar billing volume coming from various media categories such as network television, spot television, newspapers, radio, and so forth.a. Suppose that a random sample of 400 U.S. advertising agencies gives an average percentage share of billing volume from network television equal to 7.46 percent, and assume that σ equals 1.42 percent. Calculate a 95 percent confidence interval for the mean percentage share of billing volume from network television for the population of all U.S. advertising agencies.b. Suppose that a random sample of 400 U.S. advertising agencies gives an average percentage share of billing volume from spot television commercials equal to 12.44 percent, and assume that σ equals 1.55 percent. Calculate a 95 percent confidence interval for the mean percentage share of billing volume from spot television commercials…
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.
In Exercises 5–8, use the relatively small number of given bootstrap samples to construct the confidence interval. Online Buying In a Consumer Reports Research Center survey, women were asked if they purchase books online, and responses included these: no, yes, no, no. Letting “yes” = 1 and letting “no” = 0, here are ten bootstrap samples for those responses: {0, 0, 0, 0}, {1, 0, 1, 0 }, {1, 0, 1, 0}, {0, 0, 0, 0}, {0, 0, 0, 0}, {0, 1, 0, 0}, {0, 0, 0, 0}, {0, 0, 0, 0}, {0, 1, 0, 0}, {1, 1, 0, 0}. Using only the ten given bootstrap samples, construct a 90% confidence interval estimate of the proportion of women who said that they purchase books online.
The business college computing center wants to determine the proportion of business students who have personal computers (PC's) at home, because if the proportion exceeds 25%, then the lab will scale back a proposed enlargement of its facilities. Suppose 300 business students were randomly sampled and 65 have PC's at home. Should they use a hypothesis test or a confidence interval to answer this question? a) Hypothesis test. b) Confidence interval.
Vitamin D, whether ingested as a dietary supplement or produced naturally when sunlight falls upon the skin, is essential for strong, healthy bones. The bone disease rickets was largely eliminated during the 1950s, but now there is concern that a generation of children more likely to watch TV or play computer games than spend time outdoors is at increased risk. A recent study of 2300 children randomly selected found 22% of them deficient in vitamin D. Complete parts a through c below. Construct a 98% confidence interval for the true proportion of children who are deficient in vitamin D. Select the correct choice below and fill in any answer boxes within your choice Explain carefully what the interval means. Explain what "98% confidence" means
