A city has located in a specific geographic area. It has several snowy days. On 76 of 350 randomly selected days, it snows. Find a 99% confidence interval for the true proportion of days on which it snows.
Solutions
Expert Solution
Solution :
Given that,
n = 350
x = 76
Point estimate = sample proportion = 
= x / n = 76/350=0.217
1 -
= 1-0.217 =0.783
At 99% confidence level the z is ,
= 1 - 99% = 1 - 0.99 =
0.01
/ 2 = 0.01 / 2 = 0.005
Z/2
= Z0.005 = 2.576 ( Using z table )
Margin of error = E = Z
/2 *
(
* (1 -
)) / n)
= 2.576* (
= 0.057
99% confidence interval for the true proportion,is
- E < p <
+ E
0.217 - 0.057 < p < 0.217 + 0.057
0.160< p < 0.274
(0.16 ,0.274)
The 99% confidence interval for the population proportion p is :

Assume there is a well-defined geographic area of a city. The
area is composed exclusively of apartments and is populated by
low-income residents. The people who live in the area tend to stay
in that area because
(1) They cannot afford to live in other areas of the city,
(2) They prefer to live with people of their own ethnic group,
or
(3) There is discrimination against them in other areas of the

An industrial area has several companies that use similar
chemicals. Groundwater in this area has been found to be
contaminated, and several companies are disputing who is
responsible. (The responsible party must pay for remediation.) Two
of the chemicals used by several companies are TCE and dioxane, but
the companies often use different ratios of these chemicals. One
company uses 3.6 times more TCE than dioxane, and the standard
deviation of the TCE:dioxane ratio in its supply drums was 0.3....
