In a representative sample of 50 American households, 32
households had a pet. Use this sample data to answer the following
questions.
A. Use Minitab Express to
construct a 95% confidence interval to estimate the proportion of
all American households with a pet. Show how you checked
assumptions. If assumptions were met, use the normal approximation
method. Remember to include all relevant Minitab Express output and
to clearly identify your answer. Other than checking assumptions,
do not do any hand...

In a calibration test, 50 measurements were taken of a
laboratory gas sample that is known to have a CO concentration of
70 parts per million (ppm). A measurement is considered to be
satisfactory if it is within 5 ppm of the true concentration. Of
the 50 measurements, 37 were satisfactory. [5 + 10 points]
(a) Suppose it is desirable to estimate the population proportion
of satisfactory measurement within ±0.03, how big a sample of
measurements should be?
(b) Without...

Lucy Baker is analyzing demographic characteristics of two
television programs, American Idol (population 1) and 60 Minutes
(population 2). Previous studies indicate no difference in the ages
of the two audiences. (The mean age of each audience is the same.)
Her staff randomly selected 100 people from each audience, and
reported the following: sample mean for population 1 = 43 years and
sample mean for population 2 = 45 years. Assume that σ 1 = 5 and σ
2 =...
