Suppose 50% of all Chicago residents know what Steve Bartman did and a random sample of 100 Chicago residents is selected.

a) What approximately is the probability at least 55 in the sample know what Steve did?

b) Suppose the sample were 100 times larger (i.e. a sample of 10,000 Chicago residents). What is probability that 5,500 residents know what Steve Bartman did?

Solutions

Expert Solution

a. Approximate Probability that at least 55 in the sample of 100 knows what Steve did is 0.1841

b. Probability that 5500 in the sample of 10000 knows what Steve did is 0

Suppose a government official in Phoenix, Arizona, wants to know what proportion of Phoenix residents are infected with the COVID-19 virus. Because of the limited availability of tests, she cannot test all the residents of Phoenix. A random sample of 180 Phoenix residents was taken, and these residents were tested for the virus. Of these 180 people, 36 were found to be infected with the virus. Find a 95% confidence interval for the true proportion of Phoenix residents who are...

Suppose that a random sample of 50 bottles of a particular brand of cough syrup is selected, and the alcohol content of each bottle is determined. Let μ denote the average alcohol content for the population of all bottles of the brand under study. Suppose that the resulting 95% confidence interval is (8.0, 9.6).a. Would a \(90 \%\) confidence interval calculated from this same sample have been narrower or wider than the given interval? Explain your reasoning.b. Consider the following statement:...

Suppose a random sample of 50 bottles of "CoughGone" cough syrup was collected and the alcohol content (in wt. percent) of each bottle measured. A 95 % confidence interval for bottle true mean alcohol content, μ, was then determined from these data to be (6.7, 9.3). It was assumed that the variance of the alcohol distribution was known. a.) What is the value of the sample mean, x̄ ?(Give answer to two places past decimal.) b.) What is the value...

(A) A random sample of 18 Kennewick residents looked at how many miles residents were commuting (two ways) to get to work and back. The survey found that the average number of miles they commute had a mean of 23.2 miles round trip, and a standard deviation of 18.1 miles. a.) Calculate a 95% confidence interval for the true mean commute distances of Kennewick residents. (B) Interpret your interval from part (a.)
