A poll conducted in January 2020 surveyed likely democrat primary voters about who they would vote for in the primary election in 2020 and found the following results for the top 4 candidates:
Joe Biden: 18%
Bernie Sanders: 17%
Elizabeth Warren: 16%
Pete Buttigieg: 14%
With a margin of error (AKA a 95% confidence interval) of ±4.1%. From a statistical standpoint, who would likely win the democrat primary if it was held on the day of the survey?

- Refer to Exercise 7.S.6. Construct a 95% confidence interval for the population mean reduction in stem length. Does the confidence interval indicate whether the effect of stress is “horticulturally important,” if “horticulturally important” is defined as a reduction in population mean stem length of at least 1 cm 2 cm 5 cmarrow_forwardA 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.

The men feel that their driving habits are approximately the same, so each morning for two weeks one driver is assigned to route I and the other to route II. The times, recorded to the nearest minute, are shown in the following table. Using this data, find the 95%confidence interval for the true mean difference between the average travel time for route I and the average travel time for route II.

- . A researcher collects a sample of 24 measurements from a population and wishes to find a 99% confidence interval for the population mean. What value should he use for t*? b.

At the 0.05 level of significance, which conclusion can be made? a. The student should reject the null hypothesis, because 0.42 is a possible value for p given the data collected. b. The student should not reject the null hypothesis, because 0.42 is not a possible value for p given the data collected. c. The student should reject the null hypothesis, because 0.42 is not a possible value for p given the data collected. d. The student should not reject the null hypothesis, because 0.42 is a possible value for p given the data collected.arrow_forward
