We wish to know if the computer flips "fair coins". a) First, determine the sample size necessary to estimate the true proportion of heads with 90% confidence to within 3% of the actual proportion. Round z-critical to three decimal places. b) Generate a sample (size found above) using the following site: http://www.shodor.org/interactivate/activities/Coin/. Insert the number of tosses and under “Display Results” click on “Table”. Record the number of heads. Next, find the sample proportion of heads rounded to three decimal places. c) Use P-Value method to test the claim that the coin is unfair. Identify the null and alternative hypotheses (using correct mathematical symbols), test statistic, P-value, and conclusion.

The government of Canada is interested in assessing the impact of the recent decline in the Canadian dollar on the economies of the country as well as the provinces and territories. Specifically, the impact on the manufacturing establishments. For the sampling design, a sample of establishments was to be drawn across the country using a simple random sampling (SRS). As the sampling methodologist (statistician) on the panel, explain to the members of the panel, why the use of a stratified random sampling may be more appropriate than the SRS approach.
Suppose that a survey of race fans at this week’s Daytona 500 NASCAR race were asked, Is this your first time attending the Daytona 500? From a random sample of 250 race fans, 100 answered in the affirmative.a. Find the standard error to estimate the population proportion of first timers.b. Find the sampling error to estimate the population proportion of first timers with 95% confidence level.c. Estimate the proportion of repeat fans with 92% confidence level.
A physical therapist wants to determine the difference in the proportion of men and women who participate in regular sustained physical activity. What sample size should be obtained if she wishes the estimate to be within four percentage points with 90% confidence, assuming that (a) she uses the estimates of 21.8% male and 18.1% female from a previous year? (b) she does not use any prior estimates?
In a random sample of 765 adults in the United States, 322 say they could not cover a $400 unexpected expense without borrowing money or going into debt. (a) What is the population under consideration in the data set? (b) What parameter is being estimated? (c) What is the point estimate for the parameter? (d)Someone claims that 50% of US adults can cover a $400 unexpected expense without borrowing money or going into debt. Use this to construct the sampling distribution of sample proportions who can cover the expense. Be sure to check the appropriate conditions and include the shape, center, spread, and a well-labeled sketch of the sampling distribution. (e) If the claim in Part (D) is true, is the point estimate you obtained in Part (C) surprising? Why or why not?

The U.S. Department of Transportation, National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, reported that 77% of all fatally injured automobile drivers were intoxicated. A random sample of 26 records of automobile driver fatalities in Kit Carson County, Colorado, showed that 14 involved an intoxicated driver. Do these data indicate that the population proportion of driver fatalities related to alcohol is less than 77% in Kit Carson County? Use ? = 0.01. Solve the problem using both the traditional method and the P-value method. Since the sampling distribution of p̂ is the normal distribution, you can use critical values from the standard normal distribution as shown in the table of critical values of the z distribution. (Round the test statistic and the critical value to two decimal places. Round the P-value to four decimal places.) test statistic = critical value = P-value =
