Information about the proportion of a sample that agrees with a certain statement is given below. Use StatKey or other technology to estimate the standard error from a bootstrap distribution generated from the sample. Then use the standard error to give a 95%
confidence interval for the proportion of the population to agree with the statement. StatKey tip: Use "CI for Single Proportion" and then "Edit Data" to enter the sample information.

In a random sample of 400 people, 112 agree and 288 disagree.

Estimate the standard error using 1000 samples.

Round your answer to three decimal places.

1.) Standard error=

2.) Find the 95% confidence interval.

Round your answers to three decimal places.

The 95% confidence interval is ____ to _____

Roller coaster ride: A roller coaster is being designed that will accommodate 60 riders. The maximum weight the
coaster can hold safely is 12,000 pounds. According to the National Health Statistics Reports, the weights of adult U.S.
men have mean 191 pounds and standard deviation 65 pounds, and the weights of adult U.S. women have mean 167 pounds and
standard deviation 74 pounds. Use the TI-84 Plus calculator.

Part 1 of 3

(a) If 60 people are riding the coaster, and their total weight is 12,000 pounds, what is their average weight?
The average weight is____ pounds.

Part 2 of 3
(b) If a random sample of 60 adult men ride the coaster, what is the probability that the maximum safe weight
will be exceeded? Round the answer to at least four decimal places.
If a random sample 60 adult men ride the coaster, the probability that the maximum safe weight will be exceeded is?

Part 3 of 3
(c) If a random sample of 60 adult women ride the coaster, what is the probability that the maximum safe weight will
be exceeded? Round the answer to at least four decimal places.
If a random sample 60adult women ride the coaster, the probability that the maximum safe weight will be exceeded is?

A school counselor has been working with a group of six-graders with special needs. She hypothesized that students like her group may have higher depression scores compared to the national average for six-graders. So she assessed her group of students with a depression scale for children and compared the scores to the national average through a t test. The t statistic turned out to be .20. Using a significance level of .01, what decision should she make regarding the null hypothesis?

A.Postpone any decisions until a more conclusive study could be conducted

B.There is not enough information given to make a decision

C.Reject it

D.Fail to reject it
