(a). A simple random sample of 37 days was selected. For these 37 days, Parsnip was fed seeds on 22 days and Parsnip was fed pellets on the other 15 days. The goal is to calculate a 99% confidence interval for the proportion of all days in which Parsnip was fed seeds, and to do so there are two assumptions. The first is that there is a simple random sample, which is satisfied. What is the second assumption, and specific to the information in this problem, is it satisfied? Explain why or why not.

(b). If appropriate, use the data in part (a) to calculate and interpret a 99% confidence interval for the proportion of all days in his life that Parsnip has been fed seeds.

The level of cretaine phosphokinase (CPK) in blood samples measures the amount of muscle damage for athletes. At Jock State University, the level of CPK was determined for each of 25 football players and 15 soccer players before and after practice. The two groups of athletes are trained independently. The data summary is as follows :For football players :

 n=25 before practice after practice difference(before-after) mean 254.73 225.6 29.13 St.deviation 115.5 132.6 21.00

For soccer players :

 n=15 before practice after practice difference(before-after) mean 177.1 173.8 3.3 st.deviation 60.7 64.4 6.88

Assume that all the data above are normal, use the information above to answer problems 7 to 10.

7. Construct a 95% Confidence Interval for the difference in mean CPK values for foot-ball players and soccer players BEFORE exercises.

8. Construct a 95% Confidence Interval for the difference in mean CPK values for foot-ball players BEFORE and AFTER exercises.

9. Test the claim that the mean CPK level has DECREASED for soccer players AFTERexercise (compared to the mean BEFORE exercise), using α= 0.10.

10. AFTER practice, do football players have a DIFFERENT mean CPK values com-pared to soccer players? Test this claim by performing a hypothesis test, usingα= 0.10.

I want to provide this solution for other students to see.

A university financial aid office polled a random sample of 591 male undergraduate students and 484 female undergraduate students. Each of the students was asked whether or not they were employed during the previous summer. 424424 of the male students and 385 of the female students said that they had worked during the previous summer. Give a 95% confidence interval for the difference between the proportions of male and female students who were employed during the summer. Find the point estimate. Then, the margin of error. Finally, construct the 95% confidence interval. Round your answers to three decimal places.

Explaination: In the previous steps, we determined that the point estimate for the given information is pˆ1−pˆ2=−0.078p^1−p^2=−0.078 and the margin of error is E=0.051113E=0.051113. To determine the confidence interval, we must find the lower endpoint and the upper endpoint, rounding the values to three decimal places.

Lower endpoint:  pˆ1−pˆ2−E=−0.078−0.051113≈−0.129Upper endpoint:  pˆ1−pˆ2+E=−0.078+0.051113≈−0.027

Point Estimate = −0.078

Margin of Error = 0.051113

Lower endpoint: −0.129, Upper endpoint: −0.027

f) Calculate a 90% confidence interval estimate of applying fertilizer B data for crop yield in all plots of lands and interpret your results.

g) Assuming population mean of crop yield is 570 bushels for all fertilizers with standard deviation of 40 bushels for all. Formulate a test hypothesis that crop yield by applying fertilizer C differs from the population crop yield for all fertilizers. Conduct the hypothesis test, conclude your analysis and explain your answer. Use both critical value and p-value approach with alpha=0.05

h) Calculate a 90% confidence interval estimate of the difference between the population mean yield of fertilizers B and A. Can we conclude at 0.05 level of significance, that the crop yield using fertilizer B is greater than the crop yield using fertilizer A? (hint: you can use the template in chapter 10 to calculate degrees of freedom and the standard error)

Corporate advertising tries to enhance the image of the corporation. A study compared two ads from two sources, the Wall Street Journal and the National Enquirer. Subjects were asked to pretend that their company was considering a major investment in Performax, the fictitious sportswear firm in the ads. Each subject was asked to respond to the question "How trustworthy was the source in the sportswear company ad for Performax?" on a 7-point scale. Higher values indicated more trustworthiness. Here is a summary of the results.

Wall Street Journal 66 4.77 1.50

A study of reading comprehension in children compared three methods of instruction. The three methods of instruction are called Basal, DRTA, and Strategies. Basal is the traditional method of teaching, while DRTA and Strategies are two innovative methods based on similar theoretical considerations. The READING data set includes three response variables that the new methods were designed to improve. Analyze these variables using ANOVA methods. Be sure to include multiple comparisons or contrasts as needed. Write a report summarizing your findings.

A study of reading comprehension in children compared three methods of instruction. The three methods of instruction are called Basal, DRTA, and Strategies. As is common in such studies, several pretest variables were measured before any instruction was given. One purpose of the pretest was to see if the three groups of children were similar in their comprehension skills. The READING data set described in the Data Appendix gives two pretest measures that were used in this study. Use one-way ANOVA to analyze these data and write a summary of your results.
