In Exercises 1-5, refer to the following list of departure delay times (min) of American Airline flights from JFK airport in New York to LAX airport in Los Angeles. Assume that the data are samples randomly selected from larger populations.
Confidence Interval Use the departure delay times for Flight 3 and construct a 95% confidence interval estimate of the population mean. Write a brief statement that interprets the confidence interval.
In Exercises 1–5, use the following survey results: Randomly selected subjects were asked if they were aware that the Earth has lost half of its wildlife population during the past 50 years. Among 1121 women, 23% said that they were aware. Among 1084 men, 26% said that they were aware (based on data from a Harris poll).
Biodiversity When using the given sample data to construct a 95% confidence interval estimate of the difference between the two population proportions, the result of (−0.0659, 0.00591) is obtained from technology.
a. Express that confidence interval in a format that uses the symbol <.
b. What feature of the confidence interval is a basis for deciding whether there is a significant difference between the proportion of women aware of the statement and the proportion of men who are aware?

The poll included 260 people in Quebec, 163 of whom agreed that doctor-assisted suicide should be allowed.

- In Exercises 5–8, use the relatively small number of given bootstrap samples to construct the confidence interval. Online Buying In a Consumer Reports Research Center survey, women were asked if they purchase books online, and responses included these: no, yes, no, no. Letting “yes” = 1 and letting “no” = 0, here are ten bootstrap samples for those responses: {0, 0, 0, 0}, {1, 0, 1, 0 }, {1, 0, 1, 0}, {0, 0, 0, 0}, {0, 0, 0, 0}, {0, 1, 0, 0}, {0, 0, 0, 0}, {0, 0, 0, 0}, {0, 1, 0, 0}, {1, 1, 0, 0}.

The students are instructed to spin the penny and the dime 30 times and record the number of times they land tails up. For one student, the penny lands tails side up 18 times, and the dime lands tails side up 20 times. Based on the 98% confidence interval, (–0.36, 0.22), is there evidence of a difference in proportions of tails side up for a penny and a dime? There is convincing evidence because the two sample proportions are different. There is not convincing evidence because the interval contains 0. There is convincing evidence because the difference in the two sample proportions is –0.07. Since this is not 0, there is a difference in the true proportions of tails up for pennies and dimes. There is not convincing evidence because the interval contains both…arrow_forward
