In: Statistics and Probability

In one school district, there are 89 elementary school (K-5) teachers, of which 18 are male (or male-identifying).

In one school district, there are 89 elementary school (K-5) teachers, of which 18 are male (or male-identifying). In a neighboring school district, there are 102 elementary teachers, of which 17 are male. A policy researcher would like to calculate the 99% confidence interval for the difference in proportions of male teachers.

To keep the signs consistent for this problem, we will calculate all differences as p1−p2. That is, start with the percentage from the first school district and then subtract the percentage from the second district. Failing to do so may end up with “correct” answers being marked as wrong.

Point estimate for the percentage males in the first district:
      ˆp1=
Point estimate for the percentage males in the second district:
      ˆp2=
Point estimate for the difference in percentages between the two districts:
      ˆp1−ˆp2=

Estimate of the standard error for this sampling distribution (distribution of differences):
      √ˆp1(1−ˆp1)n1+ˆp2(1−ˆp2)n2=

Critical value for the 99% confidence level:
      zc.v.=

99% margin of error:
      M.E.=

99% confidence interval:

≤p1−p2≤

Salaries for teachers in a particular elementary school district have a mean of $44,000 and a standard deviation of $6,500. We randomly survey 36 teachers from that district. Why can we say the sampling distribution of mean salaries for teachers in this district is approximately normal? Find the probability that the mean salary is less than $43,000. Find the probability that the mean salary is between $45,000 and $47,000.

Within a school district, students were randomly assigned to one of two Math teachers - Mrs. Smith and Mrs. Jones. After the assignment, Mrs. Smith had 30 students, and Mrs. Jones had 25 students. At the end of the year, each class took the same standardized test. Mrs. Smith's students had an average test score of 78, with a standard deviation of 10; and Mrs. Jones' students had an average test score of 85, with a standard deviation of 15....
