**Mendelian Genetics and Job Interviews: Statistical Inference Tasks****20. Mendelian Genetics**When Mendel conducted his famous genetics experiments with peas, one sample of offspring consisted of 428 green peas and 152 yellow peas.a. Find a 95% confidence interval estimate of the percentage of yellow peas.b. Based on his theory of genetics, Mendel expected that 25% of the offspring peas would be yellow. Given that the percentage of offspring yellow peas is not 25%, do the results contradict Mendel’s theory? Why or why not?**24. Job Interviews**In a Harris poll of 514 human resource professionals, 90% said that the appearance of a job applicant is most important for a good first impression.a. Among the 514 human resource professionals who were surveyed, how many of them said that the appearance of a job applicant is most important for a good first impression?b. Construct a 99% confidence interval estimate of the proportion of all human resource professionals believing that the appearance of a job applicant is most important for a good first impression.c. Repeat part (b) using a confidence level of 80%.d. Compare the confidence intervals from parts (b) and (c) and identify the interval that is wider. Why is it wider?**Page 91**

2) A random sample of 120 students at a high school was asked whether they would ask their father or mother for help with a homework assignment in science. A second random sample of 150 different students was asked the same question for an assignment in history. Fifty-four students in the first sample and 72 students in the second sample replied that they turned to their mother rather than their father for help. Construct a 99% confidence interval for the difference of the two proportions and express it as . (Round both numbers to the 4th decimal plac
A genetic experiment with peas resulted in one sample of offspring that consisted of 443 green peas and 167 yellow peas. a. Construct a 95% confidence interval to estimate of the percentage of yellow peas. b. Based on the confidence interval, do the results of the experiment appear to contradict the expectation that 25% of the offspring peas would be yellow?
Construct a 95% confidence interval for p1 - p2 for a survey that finds 30% of 240 males and 41% of 200 females are opposed to the death penalty. Group of answer choices a.(-0.200, -0.021) b.(-1.532, 1.342) c.(-1.324, 1.512) d.(-0.561, 0.651)
1. In a study of perception, 110 men are tested and 24 are found to have red/green color blindness (based on data from USA Today). Assume that this was done in a simple random manner. A 95% confidence interval estimate of the proportion of all men with red/green color blindness was found to be 0.14 to 0.30. If we learn that the actual population proportion of men with red/green colorblindness is equal to 0.12, then what can we conclude? A. The confidence interval was wrong. B. We would need to see the sample data to make any conclusions Pick either answer A or B as your answer and show your work to go with it
4. Ten students on a low-fat diet designed to lower their cholesterol and recorded their before and after diet data in the following table: Before diet cholesterol level: After diet cholesterol level: 140 140 220 230 110 120 240 220 200 190 180 150 190 200 360 300 280 300 260 240 Based on a 95% confidence level, after hypothesis testing, what would you tell the students about the diet? Does the null hypothesis reject H0 or fail to reject H0?
The biologist is studying Black Carp invasiveness in Lake Ontario next. He doesn't have time to sample the fish himself, so instead he instead asks a fisherman who has been fishing off of one of Toronto's piers all morning about his catch. The fisherman responds that, of the 75 fish he has caught, 29 have been Black Carp. What is the lower bound of a 99% confidence interval for the true proportion of fish that are Black Carp in Lake Ontario ? O a. 0.1448 O b. The assumptions necessary to calculate the confidence interval are not satisfied and the calculation cannot be performed. O c. 0.3304 O d. 0.2419 e. 0.2556
5.A random sample of 362 married couples found that 286 had two or more personality preferences in common. In another random sample of 550 married couples, it was found that only 30 had no preferences in common. Let p1 be the population proportion of all married couples who have two or more personality preferences in common. Let p2 be the population proportion of all married couples who have no personality preferences in common. Find a 90% confidence interval for p1 – p2.

Suppose a 95% confidence interval for the difference in test scores between Class 1 and Class 2 (in that order) is the following: 9 +/− 2. These results were based on independent samples of size 100 from each class. Now suppose you switch the order of Class 1 and Class 2 in your analysis but keep the data labeled correctly in terms of which class they came from. Which of the following statements is false? A) You can't do it this way. You'll get negative numbers for the difference in the means and/or negative numbers for the standard error. B) You are confident that the average for Class 2 is 7 to 11 points lower than for Class 1.    C) You are still confident that the classes have significantly different mean scores. D) Your 95% confidence interval will now be entirely negative: from −7 to −11.
