Manual Transmission Automobiles In a recent year,

6%

of cars sold had a manual transmission. A random sample of college students who owned cars revealed the following: out of

126

cars,

28

had manual transmissions. Estimate the proportion of college students who drive cars with manual transmissions with

90%

confidence. Round intermediate and final answers to at least three decimal places.

Expert Solution

We need to construct the 90% confidence interval for the population proportion. We have been provided with the following information about the number of favorable cases:

Favorable Cases X =	28
Sample Size N=	126

The sample proportion is computed as follows, based on the sample size N=126 and the number of favorable cases X = 28

The critical value for α=0.1 is The corresponding confidence interval is computed as shown below:

Therefore, based on the data provided, the 90\%90% confidence interval for the population proportion is 0.161<p<0.283, which indicates that we are 90\%90% confident that the true population proportion pp is contained by the interval (0.161, 0.283).

porportion of college students who drive cars with manual transmission lies between 0.161<p<0.283

please rate my answer and comment for doubts.

3 The ten most recent cars sold at a dealership have an average price of $24,525 with a standard deviation of s = $450. Assuming that the prices of all cars sold by the dealership have an approximately normal distribution, find the 98% confidence interval for the mean price of all cars sold by the dealership, to the nearest dollar. Conclusion: We can be ___________confident that the mean price of all cars sold by the dealership is between $ ________________...

How can automobiles produced in Michigan be sold at the same price as automobiles produced in...

How can automobiles produced in Michigan be sold at the same price as automobiles produced in the southern part of the country? Autoworkers in both places are equally productive, but autoworkers' health insurance premiums in Michigan are much higher than autoworkers' premiums in the South. The types of cars produced in the North and South are different, so they are not comparable on price. Cash wages of autoworkers in Michigan must be lower than cash wages of autoworkers in the...

5.32 Fuel efficiency of manual and automatic cars, Part I: Each year the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) releases fuel economy data on cars manufactured in that year. Below are summary statistics on fuel efficiency (in miles/gallon) from random samples of cars with manual and automatic transmissions manufactured in 2012. Do these data provide strong evidence of a difference between the average fuel efficiency of cars with manual and automatic transmissions in terms of their average city mileage? Assume that...
