In the sample of 605 women, they reprt that their ideal average number of children is 3.41 with standard deviation of 1.92 in the sample of 640 men they report that their ideal number of children is 2.99 with standard deviation of 1.94. test the hypothesis that men and women prefer a different number of children.

Expert Solution

we have to test

sample size for women =n1=605

sample mean for women=m1=3.41

sample SD for women =S1=1.92

sample size for men =n2=640

sample mean for men =m2=2.99

sample SD for men=S2=1.94

since sample size is more than 30 so we will use Z statistics also for this sample size we can assume population SDs are not equal now test statistics is given by

Now

P-Value =2*P(Z>3.84)=2*0.000062=0.000132

since P value is very low so we will reject H0 Hence

there is significant evidence to support the claim that ideal average number of childrens for womens is different from that of mens.

"What do you think is the ideal number of children for a family to have?" A Gallup Poll asked this question of 1016 randomly chosen adults. Almost half (49%) thought two children was ideal.† We are supposing that the proportion of all adults who think that two children is ideal is p = 0.49. What is the probability that a sample proportion p̂ falls between 0.46 and 0.52 (that is, within ±3 percentage points of the true p) if the...

in R. Estimate, by simulation, the average number of children there would be in a family if all people had children until they had a girl. Do the same if all people had children until they had at least one boy and at least one girl. How many more children would you expect to find under the second scheme than under the first in 100,000 families? (Assume that girls and boys are equally likely.)
