The news release referenced in the previous exercise also included data fromindependent samples of teenage drivers and parents of teenage drivers. In response to aquestion asking if they approved of laws banning the use of cell phones and texting whiledriving, 74% of the teens surveyed and 95% of the parents surveyed said they approved.The sample sizes were not given in the news release, but suppose that 600 teens and 400 parents of teens were surveyed and that these samples are representative of the twopopulations. Do the data provide convincing evidence that the proportion of teens whoapprove of banning cell phone and texting while driving is less than the proportion ofparents of teens who approve?
Most major airlines allow passengers to carry two pieces of luggage (of a certain maximum size) onto the plane. However, their studies show that the more carry-on baggage passengers have, the longer it takes to unload and load passengers. One regional airline is considering changing its policy to allow only one carry-on per passenger. Before doing so, it decided to collect some data. Specifically, a random sample of 1,000 passengers was selected. The passengers were observed, and the number of bags carried on the plane was noted. Out of the 1,000 passengers, 363 had more than one bag. Complete parts a through d below. a. Based on this sample, develop and interpret a 95% confidence interval estimate for the proportion of the traveling population that would have been impacted had the one-bag limit been in effect. Determine the confidence interval. ?? ——— ?? (Round to three decimal places as needed. Use ascending order.) Which statement below correctly interprets the…
A sample of 200 bolts from one machine showed that 15 were defective, while a sample of 100 bolts from another machine showed that 12 were defective. Find the (a) 95%, (b)99.73% confidence limits for the difference in proportions of defective bolts from the two machines. Discuss the results obtained.
Let X1, ..., Xn be a sample from an Poisson population with parameter λ.(a) Find the maximum likelihood estimator for λ.(b) Is the estimator unbiased?(c) Is the estimator consistent?
Based on a poll of 1000 residents, a newspaper article claims that 62% of the residents in town favored the development of a recreational park on the west side of town. A community action group interested in preserving the environment claims that 45% of the towns residence favor the development of a recreational park. To determine whether the sample supports the population proportion, a simulation of 100 trails is run, each with a sample of 200, using the point estimate of the population the minimum sample proportion from the simulation is 0.46 and the maximum sample proportion is 0.76. a) what is the point estimate of the population? b) The margin of error of the population proportion is found using an estimate of the standard deviation. What is the interval estimate of the true population proportion? c) The margin of error of the population proportion is found using the half the range. What is the interval estimate of the true population proportion? d) is the community action groups…

A small college is concerned that their online classes are less successful than their face-toface classes. To test this claim, the college randomly selects students from their online and face-to-face classes, gathers their average grades, and finds the summary statistics in the table below. Does the information below suggest the online classes are not performing as well as the face-to-face classes at this small college? (Assume that the assumptions and conditions for comparing two means have been satisfied, use � = 0.01) Online Grades Face to Face Grades MEAN (x) 75.2 74.8 SD (s) 3.99 4.32 COUNT (n) 27 29

According to a certain government agency for a large country, the proportion of fatal traffic accidents in the country in which the driver had a positive blood alcohol concentration (BAC) is 0.33.Suppose a random sample of 109 traffic fatalities in a certain region results in 47that involved a positive BAC. Does the sample evidence suggest that the region has a higher proportion of traffic fatalities involving a positive BAC than the country at the α=0.05 level of significance?
Based on their records, a hospital claims that the proportion, p , of full-term babies born weigh over 7 pounds is 45% . A pediatrician who works with several hospitals in the community would like to verify the hopital's claim and investigates. In a random sample of 130 babies born in the community, 70 weighed over 7 pounds. Is there enough evidence to reject the hospital's claim at the 0.10 level of significance? Perform a two-tailed test. Then complete the parts below. Carry your intermediate computations to three or more decimal places. (If necessary, consult a list of formulas.) (a) State the null hypothesis H0 and the alternative hypothesis H1 . H0: H1: (b) Determine the type of test statistic to use. ▼(Choose one) (c) Find the value of the test statistic.
