STAT 216 - Worksheet #12 Name: Lab Section: Many alpine skiers and snowboarders do not use helmets. Do helmets reduce the risk of head Table: injuries? A study in Norway compared skiers and snowboarders who suffered head injuries with a control group who were not injured. Of 578 subjects with a head injury 96 had worn a helmet. Of the sampled 2992 skiers and snowboarders who had not had a head injury, 656 of them wore helmets. We will compute a confidence interval for the difference in the proportion of skiers and snowboarders who wear helmets between the two groups (no head injury vs head injury). Is helmet use more or less common among skiers and snowboarders who have head injuries?

1. Give the symbols for and define the parameters of interest.

2. Find the observed sample proportions and the observed difference in proportions.

3. Check the conditions to verify the assumptions necessary for a two-proportion confidence interval. 4. Find a 2-proportion 95% confidence interval.

1. Start a new worksheet and name it Z-scores. Use the STANDARDIZE function in Excel to calculate the z-scores for problems 2 and 4 on page 401 and problems 2 and 4 on page 412. Read Examples T.3 and T.4 on page 422 to see examples of how to use STANDARDIZE with means and proportions. Your output should look like the partial worksheet at right, except that cells C3, C4, C9, and C10 should be filled with the correct z-scores...

8.40 Lab 8e: BankBalance Introduction For this lab, you will use a do-while loop to complete the task. A do-while loop has this basic structure: /* variable initializations */ do{ /* statements to be performed multiple times */ /* make sure the variable that the stop condition relies on is changed inside the loop. */ } while (/*stop condition*/); Despite the structure of the do-while loop being different than that of a for loop and a while loop, the concept...
