III. Food Combo
In a certain food stall, 278 out of 500 randomly selected consumers to indicate their preference for a new kind of food combination. Use a 99% confidence interval to estimate the true proportion ρ who like the new food combination. What course of actions could concerned individuals like entrepreneurs take based on the results of your estimates?
A university dean is interested in determining the proportion of students who receive some sort of financial aid. Rather than examine the records for all students, the dean randomly selects 200 students and finds that 118 of them are receiving financial aid. Use a 90% confidence interval to estimate the true proportion of students who receive financial aid. What does this interval mean?
A researcher wished to estimate the difference between the proportion of users of two shampoos who are satisfied with the product. In a sample of 400 users of Shampoo A taken by this researcher, 90 said they are satisfied. In another sample of 500 users of Shampoo B taken by the same researcher, 70 said they were satisfied.a) Construct a 90% confidence interval for the true difference between the two population proportions.

Out of the 350 managers surveyed, 280 indicated that they were satisfied. - What is the lower limit of the 95% confidence interval on the proportion of satisfied managers? (three decimal places) -What is the upper limit of the 95% confidence interval on the proportion of satisfied managers? (three decimal places)arrow_forwardA doctor would like to estimate the mean difference in the number of hours of sleep for seniors in high school and seniors in college. To do so, he selects a random sample of 50 high school seniors from all high schools in his county. He also selects a random sample of 50 seniors from the colleges in his county. He would like to construct a 95% confidence interval for the true mean difference in the number of hours of sleep for seniors in high school and seniors in college. Are the conditions for inference met? Yes, all three conditions for inference are met. No, the random condition is not met for both samples. No, the 10% condition is not met for both samples. No, the Normal/large sample condition is not met for both samples.arrow_forwardA researcher surveyed college students in the United States on the typical amount of time each day that they spend interacting with different types of media (television, social media, Internet-connected devices, game consoles, etc.) The researcher found that the mean amount of time that college students spent watching television each day is 135 minutes with a 95% confidence interval of (105, 165). a. State the conclusion the researcher can make from this confidence interval. b. What is the margin of error for the confidence interval?arrow_forward
- A car parts company wishes to find the defect rate of a certain part. To that end, they select a random sample of the part and test them; of 512 items tested, 16 are found to be defective. Use this data to construct the 95% confidence interval for the defective rate; i.e. find a confidence interval for the proportion of all such items that are defectivearrow_forwardNina would like to estimate the difference in the mean amount of time students spend on math homework at her public school versus her cousin Sharon’s private school. To do so, each girl selects a random sample of 30 students from their large schools and asks the selected students how much time they spent doing math homework the previous night. Nina and Sharon would like to construct a 90% confidence interval for the true difference in the population means. Are the conditions for inference met? Yes, all three conditions for inference are met. No, the random condition is not met for both samples. No, the 10% condition is not met for both samples. No, the Normal/large sample condition is not met for both samples.arrow_forwardA survey found that out of 234 workers, 158 said they were interrupted three or more times an hour by phone messages, faxes, etc. Find the lower boundary of the 90% confidence interval of the population proportion of workers who are interrupted three or more times an hour.arrow_forward
