#6. In 2008, there were 507 children in Arizona out of 32,601 who were diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) ("Autism and developmental," 2008). Find the proportion of children with ASD in Arizona with a confidence level of 99%.

Blank #1: Report the bounds of the 99% confidence interval as lower bound,upper bound with commas in between and no additional spaces. Report bounds to three decimal places. So, in context, 99% confident that the true proportion of children with ASD in Arizona is between ________________ and ____________________.

#12. In 2008, there were 507 children in Arizona out of 32,601 who were diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) ("Autism and developmental," 2008). Nationally 1 in 88 children are diagnosed with ASD ("CDC features -," 2013). Is there sufficient data to show that the incidence of ASD is more in Arizona than nationally? Test at the 1% level.

Use the framework below to guide your work.

Hypotheses: :     Ho: p1 = 1/88; Ha: p > 1/88   

Blank #2: Test statistic = _________ (round to two decimal places)

Blank #3:  p-value = __________ (round to four decimal places)

Blank #4: Test decision: We decide to ___________ Ho (reject or do not reject)

Blank #5: Conclusion back into the words of problem: The evidence __________(favors or does not favor) that the proportion of children with ASD in Arizona is more than the national proportion of 1/88.

Suppose that 14 children, who were learning to ride two-wheel bikes, were surveyed to determine how long they had to use training wheels. It was revealed that they used them an average of six months with a sample standard deviation of three months. Assume that the underlying population distribution is normal. 1. What distribution should you use for this problem? Why? 2. Construct a 99\% confidence interval for the population mean length of time using training wheels.

A psychologist is interested in knowing whether adults who were bullied as children differ from the general population in terms of their empathy for others. On a questionnaire designed to measure empathy, the mean score for the general population is 80.82. Random sampling of 76 scores obtained from individuals who were bullied yielded a mean of 66.42 and a standard deviation of 22.87. Suppose you want to calculate the 99% confidence interval.
