3. The article "Doctors Cite Burnout in Mistakes" (San Luis Obispo Tribune, March 5, 2002) reported that many doctors who are completing their residency have financial struggles that could interfere with training. In a sample of 115 residents, 38 reported that they worked moonlighting jobs and 22 reported a credit card debt of more than $3000. Suppose that it is reasonable to consider this sample of 115 as a random sample of all medical residents in the United States. a) Construct and interpret a 95% confidence interval for the proportion of U.S. medical residents who work moonlighting jobs. b) Construct and interpret a 90% confidence interval for the proportion of U.S. medical residents who have a credit card debt of more than $3000. c) Give two reasons why the confidence interval in Part (a) is wider than the confidence interval in Part (b).

1. The percentage of 12- to 17-year-olds who reported talking at least once in the past year with their parents about the dangers of drug, tobacco, or alcohol is 60% nationally. A state youth council believes this proportion is higher in their state, where there has been an intense media campaign about this issue. A survey of randomly chosen students from across the state shows 1032 of 1642 students reporting they are having these conversations with their parents. Is there evidence that the percent of students using drugs, tobacco or alcohol in this state is above the national rate?

3. A newly graduate of administration of justice has been hired by the regional director of the FBI to take a poll of a residential area to determine the proportion of residents who would be opposed to a gun exchange program in their community. The regional director of the FBI told her that if 50% or more of the residents are opposed to the idea, a gun exchange program will not be implemented. She takes a random sample of 150 household heads in the community and find that .42 of those sampled are opposed to the idea. Build a 99% confidence interval around this point estimate. Is 50% within her interval? What would she advise the regional director of the FBI who hired her?

An art authenticator has a history of successfully identifying forgeries. Over her career, she has been asked to evaluate 74 actual forgeries and correctly identified 69 of them. Further, among all the authentic art she has looked at, she has never claimed any to be forgeries. An art dealer is considering purchasing a painting but is worried it is a fake. His experience in the field over the years indicates about 3% of the artwork he comes across is forged. a) If the dealer employs the services of the authenticator, and she indicates the painting is genuine, what is the chance it is actually a forgery? b) Without authentication, the dealer can sell the painting for $20,000. The price would increase to $25,000 if the painting were authenticated as genuine, but obviously it is worthless if it is deemed a forgery. The authenticator charges $2,000 for her services. Do you think it is worth it for the dealer to use the authenticator? Why or why not?

b) A certain pay television company wishes to estimate the proportion of its customers who would purchase a pay television program guide. To do this, the company manager decides to select a random sample of customers and note the number who would purchase a program guide. Suppose that experience in other areas suggests that about 13% of customers will purchase a program guide. How many customers should the company manager include in his sample if he wishes to estimate the true proportion who will purchase the program guide correct to within 5% (0.05) with a confidence level of 95%?

3. Travelers who have no intention of showing up often fail to cancel their hotel reservations in a timely manner. These travelers are known, in the parlance of the hospitality trade, as "no-shows". To protect against no-shows and late cancellations, hotels invariably overbook rooms. A recent study examined the problems of over-booking rooms in the hotel industry. The following data, extracted from the study represent the daily numbers of late cancellations and no-shows for a random sample of 10 days at a hotel: 18, 16, 16, 16, 14, 18, 16, 18, 14, 19. c) Count the number of measurements that actually fall within the interval(-28, +2s) and express the interval count as a percentage of total number of measurements. at least 75% 100% 68% 95%
