A study indicates that 90% of American teenagers have tattoos.
You randomly sample 25 teenagers. Find the probability that less
than 19 will have tattoos. Round your answer to 4 decimal
places.
Suppose you have been hired to study Guinea. You randomly sample
30 Guineans and find that that they make on average $970 and that
23 of them speak French. (Suppose that there is good reason to
believe that σ = $75) a) You are asked to determine if Guineans
make on average less than $1000.Test the hypothesis at the 5%
significance level using the rejection region approach.
b) Determine the p-value for the test in part (a). What can you...
In a random sample of 125 students, you find that 15 have
tattoos (that’s 12%). Construct a 95% confidence interval for the
true population proportion of students that have tattoos.
1. You have sampled 25 randomly selected students to find the
mean test score. A 95% confidence interval for the mean came out to
be between 85 and 92. Which of the following statements gives a
valid interpretation of this interval?
1)If this procedure were to be repeated many times, 95% of the
confidence intervals found would contain the true mean score.
2)If 100 samples were taken and a 95% confidence interval were
found, 95 of them would be between...
Suppose you randomly sample 64 cans and find the mean amount of
Coke in this sample is 11.85 ounces and the standard deviation is
0.35 ounces. Construct a 95% confidence interval estimate for the
mean amount of Coke in the all such cans.
A sample of 25 items provides a sample standard deviation of 6.
(a) Compute the 90% confidence interval estimate of the population
variance. (Round your answers to two decimal places.) ____ to ____
(b) Compute the 95% confidence interval estimate of the population
variance. (Round your answers to two decimal places.) _____to _____
(c) Compute the 95% confidence interval estimate of the population
standard deviation. (Round your answers to one decimal place.)
_____to ____
Suppose 90% of a sample of 100 randomly selected homes in Town A
and 80% of a sample of 50 randomly selected homes in Town B rely on
the public water supply for drinking water. Compute the test
statistic for a hypothesis test to compare the population
proportion of homes that rely on the public water supply for
drinking water in Town A to the proportion in Town B. Assume that
the conditions for a hypothesis test for the difference...
Of 94 adults selected randomly from one town, 62 have health
insurance. Find a 90% confidence interval for the proportion of all
adults in the town who have health insurance.
A random sample of 120 observations results in 90 successes.
[You may find it useful to reference the z
table.]
a. Construct the 90% confidence interval for the
population proportion of successes. (Round intermediate
calculations to at least 4 decimal places. Round "z" value
and final answers to 3 decimal
places.)
Confidence interval _____ to _____
b. Construct the 90% confidence interval for
the population proportion of failures. (Round intermediate
calculations to at least 4 decimal places. Round "z" value...
#9 find the minimum sample size for the following. you wish to
estimate 90% confidence and within 3% of the true population, the
proportion of senior citizens that need to be treated for heart
disease. there is no initial estimate for p-hat (Hint: think half
and half) Show all work.
#10 using the data from #9 - if there was an initial estimate of
30%, what would be the minimum sample size?
A recent study examined hearing loss data for 1666 U.S.
teenagers. In this sample, 307 were found to have some level of
hearing loss. News of this study spread quickly, with many news
articles blaming the prevalence of hearing loss on the higher use
of ear buds by teens. At MSNBC.com (8/17/2010), Carla Johnson
summarized the study with the headline: “1 in 5 U.S. teens has
hearing loss, study says.” To investigate whether this is an
appropriate or a misleading...
