QUESTION 1 A researcher hypothesizes that children will choose to eat cereals in colorful boxes over those in plain boxes. To test this hypothesis, the researcher records the number of bites that 24 children take of a food given to them from colorful boxes versus plain boxes. If the mean difference (colorful boxes – plain packaging) is MD = 13 and SMD = 1.64, then (a) calculate the 95% confidence interval for these related samples and (b) can we conclude that cereals packaged in colorful boxes significantly changes the number of bites that children took compared to plain packaging? Summarize your conclusion in a sentence.
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…

question 17 A smart phone manufacturer is interested in constructing a 95% confidence interval for the proportion of smart phones that break before the warranty expires. 81 of the 1662 randomly selected smart phones broke before the warranty expired. Round answers to 4 decimal places where possible. a. With 95% confidence the proportion of all smart phones that break before the warranty expires is between____ and _____. b. If many groups of 1662 randomly selected smart phones are selected, then a different confidence interval would be produced for each group. About _____ percent of these confidence intervals will contain the true population proportion of all smart phones that break before the warranty expires and about ____ percent will not contain the true population proportion. please solve blank
Question 2 Grace Floral Shop claims that their average daily earnings is $497. An auditor wants to determine whether this claim is true. The auditor randomly selected a sample of 100 days and found that the sample mean earnings was $495 with a sample standard deviation of 9.75. a) Calculate the 97% confidence interval for the population mean daily earning. Assist the auditor in conducting a hypothesis test, at the 3% level of significance, to determine whether the claim about their average daily earnings was overstated. b) State the null and the alternative hypothesis for this test. c) Using the p-value approach, state the decision rule for this test. d) Calculate the value of the test statistic for this test. e) Calculate the p-value for this test? f) State the conclusion of this test.

Question 5: The highway department wants to estimate the proportion of vehicles on the interstate 605 between the hours of midnight and 5 AM that are 18 - wheel trailers. The estimate will be used to determine highway repair and construction considerations.
