Suppose researchers carry out a one-way ANOVA involving 4 groups. After finding statistically significant evidence of a difference in the group means, they decide to use the Bonferroni correction to come up with simultaneous confidence intervals for the pairwise differences, keeping the family-wise confidence level at least 85%.
Help the researchers out here. Using the Bonferroni approach, what should the confidence level be for the individual intervals?
Important: Enter your answer as a percentage confidence level, but without the percent sign. For example, if your answer is 98.627%, enter 98.627.
(Give your response to at least 3 decimal places. Give only your numeric response, and not any extra characters or symbols.)
For 30 randomly selected rolling stones concerts, the mean gross is 2.3 million dollars. Assuming a population standard deviation gross earnings of 0.51 million dollars, obtain a 99% confidence interval for the mean gross earnings of a rolling stones concert (in millions).
How can we're interpret the answer?
A Gallup Poll in December 2019 reported that 46% of the 5120 adults aged 18 and older in the sample said both their mental and their physical health was good or excellent. Gallup announced, "For results based on the combined sample of 5120 adults, aged 18 and older ... the margin of sampling error is 2 percentage points at the 95% confidence level."
Confidence intervals for a percentage follow the form
estimate±margin of error
Based on the information from Gallup, what is the 95% confidence interval for the percentage of all adults aged 18 and older who would say both their mental and physical health was good or excellent? Give your answer as an interval in the form (lower bound, upper bound). Give your numbers as percentages and as whole numbers.

- There is no prior information about the proportion of Americans who support free trade in 2018. If we want to estimate a 97.5% confidence interval for the true proportion of Americans who support free trade in 2018 with a 0.16 margin of error, how many randomly selected Americans must be surveyed?arrow_forwardThe “Pro-Wealth” insurance wants to calculate the difference between the average amount of term life insurance purchased per family and the average amount of life time insurance purchased per family. To obtain this data, one of the company's actuaries randomly selects 25 families who have term life insurance only and 27 families who have life time insurance only. Each sample was taken from families where the head was less than 45 years old. Use the data obtained with a confidence level of: 96%, to estimate the difference in the mean between the two groups, assuming the amount of insurance is normally distributed. For term insurance (term): xT = $ 76,000 sT = $ 22,500 and nT = 25 , while for whole life insurance: xT = $ 46,000 sT = $ 15,600 and nT = 27.arrow_forwardSuppose that Apple Inc wished to estimate the mean talk time for its iPhone before the battery must be recharged.

- A randomly selected sample of 31 Hollywood movies from 2015 was used to construct a 95% confidence interval (using the standard error method) for the mean Rotten Tomato audience rating (on scale from 0 to 100) for all 2015 Hollywood movies. That confidence interval came out to be (66 , 76). Regarding the 95% confidence interval above: What is the sample statistic, to the nearest 1 decimal place? What is the margin of error, to the nearest 1 decimal place? What is the standard error, to the nearest 1 decimal place? If we had used the same sample to create a 97% confidence interval using the percentile method in StatKey, generating 2500 bootstrap sample statistics and got the result (55,77), how many sample statistics, i.e., dots, would be found within the endpoints of that interval?arrow_forwardChinovac Labs tried a new vaccine on 148 randomly selected individuals.

However, in 2011 the recovery was slow and it was uncertain as to how much had really changed on the national level. To estimate the national average of the percent of low-income working families, a representative simple random sample of the percent of low-income working families from each of the country’s reporting jurisdictions could be used to calculate a point estimate and create a related confidence interval. With this confidence interval a better picture of the nation’s recovery can be had and legislative decisions can be made.
