- Determining Sample Size. In Exercises 31β38, use the given data to find the minimum sample size required to estimate a population proportion or percentage. Chickenpox You plan to conduct a survey to estimate the percentage of adults who have had chickenpox. Find the number of people who must be surveyed if you want to be 90% confident that the sample percentage is within two percentage points of the true percentage for the population of all adults. a. Assume that nothing is known about the prevalence of chickenpox. b. Assume that about 95% of adults have had chickenpox. c. Does the added knowledge in part (b) have much of an effect on the sample size?arrow_forwardSample Size. In Exercises 29β36, find the sample size required to estimate the population mean.Β Mean Age of Female Statistics Students Data Set 1 βBody Dataβ in Appendix B includes ages of 147 randomly selected adult females, and those ages have a standard deviation of 17.7 years. Assume that ages of female statistics students have less variation than ages of females in the general population, so let Ο = 17.7 years for the sample size calculation. How many female statistics student ages must be obtained in order to estimate the mean age of all female statistics students? Assume that we want 95% confidence that the sample mean is within one-half year of the population mean. Does it seem reasonable to assume that ages of female statistics students have less variation than ages of females in the general population?arrow_forwardContributions, please, part II In Chapter 18, Exercise 15,you learned that the Paralyzed Veterans of America is aphilanthropic organization that relies on contributions.They send free mailing labels and greeting cards topotential donors on their list and ask for a voluntarycontribution. To test a new campaign, the organization recently sent letters to a random sample of 100,000 po-tential donors and received 4781 donations. Theyβve had a contribution rate of 5% in past campaigns, but a staffmember worries that the rate will be lower if they run thiscampaign as currently designed.a) What are the hypotheses?b) Are the assumptions and conditions forinference met?c) Do you think the rate would drop? Explain.arrow_forward
- Technology. In Exercises 9β12, test the given claim by using the display provided from technology. Use a 0.05 significance level. Identify the null and alternative hypotheses, test statistic, P-value (or range of P-values), or critical value(s), and state the final conclusion that addresses the original claim. Old FaithfulΒ Data Set 23 βOld Faithfulβ in Appendix B includes data from 250 random eruptions of the Old Faithful geyser. The National Park Service makes predictions of times to the next eruption, and the data set includes the errors (minutes) in those predictions. The accompanying Statdisk display results from using the prediction errors (minutes) to test the claim that the mean prediction error is equal to zero. Comment on the accuracy of the predictions.

How many people must be surveyed in order to be 90% confident that the estimated percentage is within three percentage points of the true population percentage? a. Assume that nothing is known about the worldwide percentage of people who play video games.Β b. Assume that about 16% of people play video games (based on a report by Spil Games). c.

- Sample Size. In Exercises 29β36, find the sample size required to estimate the population mean. Mean Weight of Male Statistics Students Data Set 1 βBody Dataβ in Appendix B includes weights of 153 randomly selected adult males, and those weights have a standard deviation of 17.65 kg. Because it is reasonable to assume that weights of male statistics students have less variation than weights of the population of adult males, let ΟΒ = 17.65 kg. How many male statistics students must be weighed in order to estimate the mean weight of all male statistics students? Assume that we want 90% confidence that the sample mean is within 1.5 kg of the population mean. Does it seem reasonable to assume that weights of male statistics students have less variation than weights of the population of adult males?arrow_forwardIdentifying H0 and H1 In Exercises 5β8, do the following: a. Express the original claim in symbolic form. b. Identify the null and alternative hypotheses. Pulse Rates Claim: The mean pulse rate (in beats per minute, or bpm) of adult males is equal to 69 bpm. For the random sample of 153 adult males in Data Set 1 βBody Dataβ in Appendix B, the mean pulse rate is 69.6 bpm and the standard deviation is 11.3 bpm.arrow_forwardSample Size. In Exercises 29β36, find the sample size required to estimate the population mean. Mean Grade-Point Average Assume that all grade-point averages are to be standardized on a scale between 0 and 4. How many grade-point averages must be obtained so that the sample mean is within 0.01 of the population mean? Assume that a 95% confidence level is desired. If we use the range rule of thumb, we can estimate Ο to be range/4 = (4 β 0)/4 = 1. Does the sample size seem practical?arrow_forward
- Determining Sample Size. In Exercises 31β38, use the given data to find the minimum sample size required to estimate a population proportion or percentage. Bachelorβs Degree in Four Years In a study of government financial aid for college students, it becomes necessary to estimate the percentage of full-time college students who earn a bachelorβs degree in four years or less. Find the sample size needed to estimate that percentage. Use a 0.05 margin of error, and use a confidence level of 95%. a. Assume that nothing is known about the percentage to be estimated. b. Assume that prior studies have shown that about 40% of full-time students earn bachelorβs degrees in four years or less. c. Does the added knowledge in part (b) have much of an effect on the sample size?arrow_forwardSample Size. In Exercises 29β36, find the sample size required to estimate the population mean. Mean IQ of College Professors The Wechsler IQ test is designed so that the mean is 100 and the standard deviation is 15 for the population of normal adults. Find the sample size necessary to estimate the mean IQ score of college professors. We want to be 99% confident that our sample mean is within 4 IQ points of the true mean. The mean for this population is clearly greater than 100. The standard deviation for this population is less than 15 because it is a group with less variation than a group randomly selected from the general population; therefore, if we use Ο = 15 we are being conservative by using a value that will make the sample size at least as large as necessary. Assume then that Ο = 15 and determine the required sample size. Does the sample size appear to be practical?arrow_forwardDetermining Sample Size. In Exercises 19β22, assume that each sample is a simple random sample obtained from a normally distributed population. Use Table 7-2 on page 338 to find the indicated sample size.Β IQ of Statistics Professors You want to estimate Ο for the population of IQ scores of statistics professors. Find the minimum sample size needed to be 95% confident that the sample standard deviation s is within 1% of Ο . Is this sample size practical?arrow_forward
