As chairperson of the Rogers County Task Force on Aging, you wish to estimate the proportion of senior citizens in the region who would use a mobile medical check-up program if such a service was implemented. A random sample of 44 senior citizens was polled and it was found that 22 would use such a service. a. Let p represent the proportion of all senior citizens in the region who would utilize the mobile medical check-up program. Find a point estimate for p. (Round result to 3 decimal places.) b. Find a 95% confidence interval for p. (Round results to 3 decimal places.) ? ♥ < c. The Rogers County Director tasks you with doing a larger study, to develop a more precise estimate. The director would like an estimate for the proportion of retired people who would use the mobile medical check-up program that is within 5% of the population percentage, with 95% confidence. Using the original study (described above) as a preliminary estimate for the population proportion p, what is the minimum…
Analyze Valley Hospital's admissions time variance Valley Hospital began using standards to evaluate its Admissions Department. The standard was broken into two types of admissions as follows: The unscheduled admission took longer because name, address, and insurance information needed to be determined and verified at the time of admission. Information was collected on scheduled admissions prior to admitting the patient, thus requiring less time in admissions. The Admissions Department employs two full-time people for 40 hours per week at $15 per hour. For the most recent week, the department handled 66 unscheduled and 120 scheduled admissions. a. How much was actually spent on labor for the week? $b. What are the standard hours for the actual volume of work for the week? (Round to the nearest whole hour.) hours c. Compute the direct labor time variance, and report how well the department performed for the week. In your computation, round the standard direct labor rate to the nearest…
The North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) enacted in 1994 is a trilateral trade agreement signed by the United States, Canada and Mexico. This trade agreement has been controversial since its inception and Americans remain split on the issue. In a Gallup Poll conducted February 1-5, 2017, 448 out of 973 randomly selected Americans aged 18 or older stated that they believed that NAFTA was bad for the United States. a. Find the point estimate for the proportion of Americans who believe that NAFTA was bad for the United States. Round your answer to 4 decimal places. b. Find the margin of error for a 95% confidence interval. Round your answer to 4 decimal places. c. Construct the 95% confidence interval for the proportion of Americans who believe that NAFTA was bad for the United States. Enter your answer as an open interval of the form (a,b) and round to 3 decimal places. d. Can you conclude that more than half of Americans believe that NAFTA was bad for the United States? No, the…

An experiment was performed to attempt to answer the question of interest posed in Question 12. In the experiment, 48 Israeli college students were randomly assigned to eat in groups of six. Before ordering, half of the groups were told they would each be responsible for individual meal costs and the other half were told that the cost would be split equally among the six people at the table. The cost of meals per person was recorded. Summary statistics are given below: Payment Type Split Individual Bill Sample 24 24 size Sample $37.29 $50.92 mean Sample $12.54 $14.33 st. dev. Suppose a 95% confidence interval for usplit - Hindividual is constructed. What is the value of the best estimate of the difference in population means?
