In Exercises 5–8, use the relatively small number of given bootstrap samples to construct the confidence interval.
5. 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}. Using only the ten given bootstrap samples, construct a 90% confidence

- What is meant by the sample space of an experiment?arrow_forwardIn a statistics activity, students are asked to determine if there is a difference in the proportion of times that a spinning penny will land with tails up, and the proportion of times a spinning dime will land tails up. 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_forward2. The SAT scores of 12 randomly selected high school seniors are given as: 1700 1940 1510 2000 1430 1870 1990 1650 1820 1670 2210 1380 Assume the population distribution is normal. c. Construct a 99 % confidence interval for the population mean μ. d. Construct a 95% confidence interval for the population mean μ. Interpret the results. e. How does decreasing the level of confidence in part (d) change the width of the confidence interval? Explain?arrow_forward
- 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?arrow_forwardThe figure to the right shows the results of a survey in which 1005 adults from Country A, 1023 adults from Country B, 995 adults from Country C, 1020 adults from Country D, and 1012 adults from Country E were asked whether national identity is strongly tied to birthplace.
