Chapter 10.4, Problem 32E
Mislabeled Fish. Researchers with Oceana, a group dedicated to preserving the ocean ecosystem, reported finding that 33% of fish sold in retail outlets, grocery stores, and sushi bars throughout the United States had been mislabeled (San Francisco Chronicle, https://www.sfgate.com/science/article/Mislabeled-fish-a-widespread-problem-4295946 .php). Does this mislabeling differ for different species of fish? The following data show the number labeled incorrectly for samples of tuna and mahi mahi.
- a. What is the point estimate of the proportion of tuna that is mislabeled?
- b. What is the point estimate of the proportion of mahi mahi that is mislabeled?
- c. Provide a 95% confidence
interval estimate of the difference between the proportion of tuna and mahi mahi that is mislabeled.

Mechanical engineer Kwok Wai Tham of the National University of Singapore set out to sample how much virus COVID-19 patients produce when they breathe, talk or sing, in part, to address skeptics’ concerns. “I’m doing this to convince some very close friends,” he says. He and colleagues rolled a mobile lab into 22 patients’ rooms and had volunteers stick their heads into a large metal cone. The researchers collected both aerosols and larger droplets that the patients exhaled while breathing quietly for 30 minutes, while repeating passages from Dr. Seuss’ Green Eggs and Ham for 15 minutes, or while singing simple tunes like the “Happy Birthday” song, “Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star” or the “ABCs” for 15 minutes. The scientists tested both aerosols and large droplets in the air samples for coronavirus RNA and calculated how many copies of the virus’s nucleocapsid protein gene, or N gene, were present. That gives an estimate of how much virus is in a sample.Of the 22 patients who sang for…
According to the February 2008 Federal Trade Commission report on consumerfraud and identity theft, 23% of all complaints in 2007 were for identity theft. Inthat year, Arkansas had 1,601 complaints of identity theft out of 3,482 consumercomplaints ("Consumer fraud and," 2008). Does this data provide enoughevidence to show that Arkansas had a higher proportion of identity theft than23%? Test at the 5% level.
