8. A large online retailer is analyzing how frequently their product WonderWidget™ is returned. Out of 345 Wonder Widgets bought, 48 were returned. (a) Find the 97% confidence interval for the long-run proportion of WonderWidgets returned. (b) If the retailer wanted to obtain a 97% confidence interval with a margin of error +0.03, how many purchases it should analyze?

A researcher finds that individuals with a high school education or less are more likely to have hypertension than individuals with at least some college education. They report a relative risk of 2.1 with a 95% confidence interval or (1.6, 2.5). They then stratify their analysis by smoking status and report a relative risk of hypertension in smokers with a high school education or less as compared to smokers with at least some college education of 1.4 with a 95% confidence interval of (0.9, 1.9), and a relative risk of hypertension in non-smokers with a high school education or less as compared to non-smokers with at least some college education of 2.6 with a 95% confidence interval of (2.1, 3.2), Which of the following is not true? A) there is effect modification by smoking status B) there is effect modification by hypertension status C) there is no statistically significant assocation between education and hypertension amoung smokers D) Education and hypertension are not…
A Dean of a certain business school is interested in the difference in proportions of A's given by Professors I & II. Suppose the dean has access to 800 grade reports from each professor. It turns out that 240 students received A's from Professor I and 160 students received A's from Professor II. Construct a 95% confidence interval for the true differences in proportions of A's given by the two professors.
2. A study investigated 62 students who were randomly assigned into two equal size groups. Group A could listen to music as they studied for a big test, while group B was not allowed to listen to music. After the exam, they calculated a 95% confidence interval for the mean difference in scores between groups, which was (-1.2, 3.4). Explain what one can conclude from this confidence interval. Does it appear that is better to study while listening to music?
A scientist claims that 65% of U.S. adults believe humans contribute to an increase in global temperature. A 95% confidence interval for the proportion of U.S. adults who say that the activities of humans are contributing to an increase in global temperatures is found to be (0.626, 0.674). Does this confidence interval support the scientist's claim? Since 0.65 falls in the confidence interval, the scientist’s claim is incorrect. Since 0.65 does not fall in the confidence interval, the scientist’s claim is incorrect. Since 0.65 does not fall in the confidence interval, the scientist’s claim is correct. Since 0.65 falls in the confidence interval, the scientist’s claim is correct.
A student is conducting a survey using data on study hours collected from a random sample of 100 students at NSU. She finds 95% confidence interval for the mean study hours to be (12.5, 15). She states that she is 95% sure that all students studies for 12.5 to 15 hours. Do you agree with this statement? Explain your answer.
Suppose that you're regressing the Sales Price (the y-variable) of a home on the Square Footage (the x-variable) of that home, and the 95% Confidence Interval (CI) estimate of B1 is given by the interval: (-2.757,3031). Give the interpretation of this CI. Specifically, EXPLAIN how the CI answers the question about whether or not Home Prices and Square Footage are, or are not, significantly linearly related.
If the number of smokers in a sample of 40 students selected from university A is 14 and the number of smokers in a sample of 380 students selected from university B is 84. Then the 99% confidence interval for the difference between proportions of smokers in the two universities (PB- PA) is closest to O a. (-0.1450,-0.1130) O b. (-0.3310,0.0729) O c. None of these o d. (-0.3110,0.0534) e. (-0.1430,-0.1150)
Researchers conducted a study of smartphone use among adults. A cell phone company claimed that iPhone smartphones are more popular with whites (non-Hispanic) than with African Americans. The results of the survey indicate that of the 232 African American cell phone owners randomly sampled, 5% have an iPhone. Of the 1,343 white cell phone owners randomly sampled, 10% own an iPhone. Find a 95% confidence interval for the difference in proportions between white and African American smartphone users.
