Two types of medication for hives are being tested to determine if there is a difference in the proportions of adult patient reactions. Twenty out of a random sample of 200 adults given medication A still had hives 30 minutes after taking the medication. Twelve out of another random sample of 200 adults given medication B still had hives 30 minutes after taking the medication. Sample1: medication A, Sample2: medicationB (a) Find the 99% confidence interval for the difference in the proportions

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
According to a report on sleep deprivation by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the proportion of California residents who reported insufficient rest or sleep during each of the preceding 30 days is 8.0%, while this proportion is 8.8% for Oregon residents. These data are based on simple random samples of 11,545 California and 4,691 Oregon residents. Calculate a 95% confidence interval for the difference between the proportions of Californians and Oregonians who are sleep deprived and interpret it in context of the data.
In order to judge the effectiveness of an advertising campaign for a certain brand of pretzel, a company obtained a simple random sample of 95 convenience store receipts the week before the ad campaign began, and found that 28 of them showed a purchase of the pretzels. Another simple random sample of 65 receipts was taken the week after the ad campaign, and 33 of them showed a pretzel purchase. Construct a 98% confidence interval for the difference between the proportions of customers purchasing pretzels before and after the ad campaign. Interpret the results. A marketing manager claims that the proportion of customers who purchased pretzels did not change after the ad campaign. Does the confidence interval contradict this claim?
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?
in clinical trials of allergy medicine clarinex 5 mg it was reported that 50 out of 1655 individuals in clarinex group and 31 out of 1652 individuals in placebo group experienced dry mouth as a possible side effect of their respectivetreatments. the results of a 95% confidence interval for the proption of clarinex users who ecperince dry mouth munus the proportion of placebo takers who ecpericened dry mouth are ( 0.0009,0.0220) interpret the interval in context
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 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,…

These data are based on simple random samples of 11,545 California and 4,691 Oregon residents. Calculate a 95% confidence interval for the difference between the proportions of Californians and Oregonians who are sleep deprived and interpret it in context of the data. Also, conduct a hypothesis, with alpha = 0.05, test to determine if these data provide strong evidence the rate of sleep deprivation is different for the two states. Construct a 95% confidence interval Which of the following correctly displays the standard error? 0.0046 0.009 0.001 0.00002 0.008
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:
In order to judge the effectiveness of an advertising campaign for a certain brand of pretzel, a company obtained a simple random sample of 80 convenience store receipts the week before the ad campaign began, found that 16 of them showed a purchase of the pretzels. Another simple random sample of 50 receipts was taken the week after the ad campaign and 28 of them showed a pretzel purchase. Construct a 98% confidence interval for the difference between the proportions of customers purchasing pretzels before and after the ad campaign. Let p1 be the population proportion of convenience store receipts showed a purchase of the pretzels taken in the week before the ad campaign began, and p2 be the population proportion of convenience store receipts showed a purchase of the pretzels taken in the week after the ad campaign. •Find the point estimate. •Find the standard error. Round to four decimal places. •Find the margin of error. Round to four decimal places.
