In a random sample of 50 patients undergoing a standard surgical procedure, 15 required medication for post operative pain. In a random sample of 90 patients undergoing a new procedure, only 16 required pain medication.
a)Are conditions met to perform inference onthis study?
b)Construct and interpret a 95% confidence interval for the difference
in the proportions of patients needing pain medication between the old and new procedures.
c) A physician claims that the proportion of patients who need pain medication is the same for both procedures. Does the confidence
interval contradict this claim? Why/Why not?
A genetic experiment with peas resulted in one sample of offspring that consisted of
443
green peas and
151
yellow peas.
a. Construct a
90%
confidence interval to estimate of the percentage of yellow peas.
b. It was expected that 25% of the offspring peas would be yellow. Given that the percentage of offspring yellow peas is not 25%, do the results contradict expectations?
a. Construct a
90%
confidence interval. Express the percentages in decimal form.
In a study of the accuracy of fast food drive-through orders, Restaurant A had 302 accurate orders and 65that were not accurate.
a. Construct a 95% confidence interval estimate of the percentage of orders that are not accurate.
b. Compare the results from part (a) to this 95% confidence interval for the percentage of orders that are not accurate at Restaurant B: 0.161<p<0.239. What do you conclude?
a. No conclusion can be made because not enough information is given about the confidence interval for Restaurant
B.
Since the upper confidence limit of the interval for Restaurant B is higher than both the lower and upper confidence limits of the interval for Restaurant A, this indicates that Restaurant B has a significantly higher percentage of orders that are not accurate.
C.
Since the two confidence intervals overlap, neither restaurant appears to have a significantly different percentage of orders that are not accurate.
D.
The lower confidence…

- Is gastric bypass surgery effective for long term weight loss? A Utah-based study from 2000-2011 found that 75.8% of 418 subjects who had had gastric bypass surgery maintained a 20% weight loss for 6 years. a) Construct a 95% confidence interval. b) Interpret the confidence interval in this context. (Give a sentence explaining what the confidence interval means) c) If the interval had been 90% confidence, would it have been wider or narrower? d) Is it plausible that 90% of those who get gastric bypass surgery maintain a 20% weight loss for 6 years? Explain.arrow_forwardThe nutrition label on a bag of potato chips says that a one ounce (28 gram) serving of potato chips has 130 calories and contains ten grams of fat, with three grams of saturated fat. A random sample of 35 bags yielded a confidence interval for the number of calories per bag of 128.2 to 139.8 calories. Is there evidence that the nutrition label does not provide an accurate measure of calories in the bags of potato chips? Group of answer choices A, None of the above answers is correct. Because 130 is inside the confidence interval, we have convincing evidence that the true average is any different than what the nutrition label suggests. Because 130 is inside the confidence interval, we know for certain that the true average is any different than what the nutrition label suggests. Because 130 is inside the confidence interval, we do not have convincing evidence that the true average is any different than what the nutrition label suggests.arrow_forwardJulia wonders if people living in the eastern part of her country are more likely to respond favorably to a new advertisement than the people in the western part of her country. She randomly selects 100 people from each of these parts of her country. She finds that 80 people in the eastern part of the country respond favorably, while only 60 people in the western part do. Julia wants to use these results to construct 95% confidence interval to estimate the difference in the proportion of all people who would respond favorably in these parts of her country (eastern−western). Assume that all of the conditions for inference have been met. Which of the following is a correct 95% confidence interval based on Julia's samples?arrow_forward
