. A new rocket-launching system is being considered for deployment of small, short-range rockets. The existing system has p = 0.8 as the probability of a successful launch. A sample of 40 experimental launches is made with the new system, and 34 are successful. Using 95% confidence, the confidence interval is 0.85 + 0.111. What is the sample size required @ 90% level of confidence

We have developed a new drug used to reduce fever and want to test its efficacy. Ten ER patients who are running a fever agree to take the new drug instead of the traditional treatment. Their temperatures are taken before the drug is administered and 30 minutes after taking the drug. The results are recorded in the Excel file below. Use the data to construct and interpret a 99% confidence interval for the mean change in temperatures of patients after taking this drug using Excel. Be sure to include any explanation necessary along with a sentence that explains what the interval means.

In a random sample of 392 people that were tested for the Norcovirus, it was found that 314 did not have the virus. A 97% confidence interval was constructed to estimate the proportion of the population that does not have the Norcovirus. This confidence interval came out to be (0.76,0.84).

It is estimated that in the general population about 9 out of every 1000 or 0.009 children are diagnosed with autism. on study included 92 six month old babies who had a sibling with autism. twenty-eight of these babies were later diagnosed with autism. we will systematically construct a 99% confidence interval for the proportion of siblings of autistic children likely to have autism. What is the population being studied? What population parameter are we seeking to estimate? Describe this population parameter in words.

The average height of all male students in ENG2015 in section A is 5 feet and 9 inches (or 175.26 centimeters). A sample of 18 male is selected, and their heights (in centimeters) are in the table below. Develop a 95% confidence interval to estimate the population mean.
Researchers want to test a new hand exercise plan for arthritis patients to see if they have improved flexibility. They recruited 110 patients with arthritis in their hands and randomly assigned them to one of two treatment groups: group i took their regular medicine and did the new hand exercises; and group 2 only took medicine. After one month, 42 of the 55 in group 1 improved in their flexibility, and 37 of the 55 in group 2 improved their flexibility. Based on the 95% confidence interval (-0.076, 0.258), is there convincing evidence of a difference in the proportion of patients like these who would show improvement in flexibility if they did the new hand exercises along with taking the medicine versus just taking the medicine? v to believe there va difference in the proportion of patients like these who would show improvement in flexibility if they did the new hand exercises along with taking the medicine versus just taking the medicine.
