In other words, inferential statistics don't allow us to be 100 percent certain about anything. True False 2- The sampling distribution of the mean is an empirical distribution in the sense that you have to calculate an infinite number of sample means before you can use it to estimate the parameters of the population from which the samples were drawn. True False 3- The sampling distribution of the mean is normal in shape. True False

A researcher studying public opinion of proposed Social Security changes obtains a simple random sample of 25 adult Americans and asks them whether or not support the proposed changes . To say that the distribution of the sample proportion of adults who respond yes, is approximately normal , how many more adult Americans does the researcher need to sample in the following cases? (a) 15% of all adult Americans support the changes (b) 20% of all adult Americans support the changes

Suppose we know that a confidence interval for a population proportion is (0.105,0.355), with a sample proportion of p̂=0.23. What is the margin of error?
Please help me fix A and B problem. Thank you!
3. In 2009 at the height of "Potter-mania" it was found that 67% of the United States population owned at least a single book from the Harry Potter series. I think that my students are different than the national average for Harry Potter book ownership. I take a random sample of 80 students and find that 50 own at least a single Harry Potter Book. If I want a 3.5% chance of committing a type one error, test my claim. (a) Ho (b) Find the critical value(s) (c) Find the test value (d) Accept or reject Ho
(5) You take a random sample from some population and form a 98% confidence interval for the population mean, a. Which quantity is guaranteed to be in the interval you form? A. 0 B. u C. D. 0.98
Which is true about a 95% confidence interval for a population proportion based on a given sample? A There is a 95% chance that the true sample proportion is in the middle of our interval. There is a 5% chance that our Interval does not contain the population proportion. C The Interval Is wider than a 90% confidence Interval would be. none of these is true.
