d) Write a statement that correctly interprets the confidence interval. Choose the correct answer below.
A.One has 9999% confidence that the sample proportion is equal to the population proportion.
B.There is a 9999% chance that the true value of the population proportion will fall between the lower bound and the upper bound.
C.One has 9999% confidence that the interval from the lower bound to the upper bound actually does contain the true value of the population proportion.Your answer is correct.
D. 9999% of sample proportions will fall between the lower bound and the upper bound.

How to calculate the P(A|B) of a 8 sided die that is rolled one time?
Event A occurs whenever a less than 2 is rolled. Event B occurs whenever an even number is rolled. Event C occurs whenever a 1 or 3 is rolled. What are the complements, probabilities, the intersections and the unions and are they statistically independent?
what are the P(A|B) and the P(C|A)?

IQ tests are sometimes used to assess children’s cognitive abilities. However, typical IQ tests draw on reading skills, which |
may translate into lower scores for dyslexic children. Nonverbal IQ tests should circumvent this issue, allowing us to ask |
whether there is a relationship between reading skills and cognitive abilities in dyslexic children. The table below gives the reading |
skill scores (on a standardized scale) and the nonverbal IQ scores (also on a standardized scale) of 22 dyslexic children aged |
7 to 10 years. Are the reading skill scores and nonverbal IQ scores significantly correlated in young dyslexic children? |

There was a certain class in which students had completed the work load assigned was very heavy. The instructor knew that the amount learned was directly related to that work load. The instructor surveyed 40 former students and asked if they would have been willing to actually learn less if that had meant less work. The instructor hoped that the ultimate goal of a student was to learn and so that less than 25 % of students would agree to learn less. The results of the survey showed 7 students would have been willing to actually learn less if that had meant less wor.
Is there sufficient evidence at the alpha = .05 level of significance to support the instructors hope and what do you conclude? What is the p-value of your test statistic.

Raw scores on behavioral tests are often transformed for easier comparison. A test of reading ability has mean 55 and standard deviation 5 when given to third graders. Sixth graders have mean score 77 and standard deviation 7 on the same test. To provide separate "norms" for each grade, we want scores in each grade to have mean 100 and standard deviation 20. (Round your answers to two decimal places.)

The administrators of the city's Stormwater Program are interested in evaluating the public's knowledge of the causes and effects of stormwater pollution. They set up an information booth at the city's Earth Day celebration, and people who visit the booth are offered the opportunity to complete a survey on their knowledge of stormwater pollution.
(a.) If the population of interest is adult residents of the city, discuss any sources of bias that might limit the usefulness in using this survey to draw conclusions about this population.
(b.) The survey at the Earth Day celebration was intended to be used as a pilot study to make sure the questions were not ambiguous. The full survey is to be an online survey. Residents are to be made aware of the survey through information mailed with their utility bills, and asked to go online to complete the survey. Discuss any sources of bias that might be contained in the full survey.
(c.) Suppose we select a random sample of utility customers. Only the residents in the sample are to be made aware of the survey through information mailed with their utility bills, and asked to go online to complete the survey. Does this have any advantages or disadvantages over the full survey in part (b) in terms of possible bias? Explain.

The community bank survey asked about net income and reported the percent change in net income between the first half of last year and the first half of this year. The mean change for the 120 banks in the sample is 7.6%. Because the sample size is large, we are willing to use the sample standard deviation s = 20.5% as if it were the population standard deviation σ. Does the 7.6% mean increase provide evidence that the net income for all banks has changed? Assumeα= 0.05. You must show all steps as outlined in class to receive full credit.

Question 1: You will receive a prize if both a fair coin lands "heads" AND a fair die lands "6". After the coin is flipped and the die is rolled you ask if AT LEAST ONE of these events has occurred and you are told "yes."
a) Use an event tree to help calculate the probability of winning the prize
b) Formally calculate the probability of you winning the prize, whilst answering these questions in each step of your answer
i. Specify the joint distribution, ?(?,?,?,?), in terms of its constituent conditional distributions
ii. Specify the full prior probabilities for the coin, ?(?) and the dice, ?(?), events
iii. Specify the full conditional distribution for the event that the coin is heads or dice is six, ?=?∪?
iv. Specify the full conditional distribution for the event that the coin is heads and dice is six, ?=?∩?
v. Use the fundamental rule to derive the distribution for the coin and dice events given the event that the coin is heads or dice is six, ?(?,?|?=????)
vi. Calculate the probability of observing that the coin is heads or dice is six, ?(?=????)
vii. Specify and calculate the posterior distribution for the joint probability of the coin and dice events given the event that the coin is heads or dice is six, ?(?,?|?=????)
viii. Derive the marginal distribution for the event that coin is heads and dice is six given we know the event heads or six, ?=???? | ?=???? , has occurred
ix. Calculate the marginal probability that the coin is heads and dice is six given we know the event heads or six, ?(?=????|?=????)
x. Calculate the probability of you winning the prize
Note: Your formal calculation must include mathematical notation and the derivation of every step in the calculation without ambiguity. Your model must include these variables: ? for the coin, ? for the dice, ? for the event that coin is heads or dice is six and ? for the event that coin is heads and dice is six. Correct answer that take short cuts or ignore the full set of variables will be penalised. Note, also by ‘full’ distributions above it is meant that all relevant states for the variables are used in the calculations.

We assume that our wages will increase as we gain experience and become more valuable to our employers. Wages also increase because of inflation. By examining a sample of employees at a given point in time, we can look at part of the picture. How does length of service (LOS) relate to wages? The data here (data197.dat) is the LOS in months and wages for 60 women who work in Indiana banks. Wages are yearly total income divided by the number of weeks worked. We have multiplied wages by a constant for reasons of confidentiality.
(a) Plot wages versus LOS. Consider the relationship and whether
or not linear regression might be appropriate. (Do this on paper.
Your instructor may ask you to turn in this graph.)
(b) Find the least-squares line. Summarize the significance test
for the slope. What do you conclude?
Wages = | + LOS |
t = | |

between wages and length of service.
