Part 2: Confidence Intervals Since the recovery from the Great Recession of 2007-2009, the economic situation for many families has improved. However, poverty rates rise and fall in response to many factors and its decrease can lag behind economic recoveries by many years. To estimate the national average of the percent of people in poverty in recent years, a confidence interval can be created. If a representative simple random sample of the percent of people in poverty from each of the country's reporting jurisdictions in 2018 could be collected, a point estimate can be used to present a better picture of the share of people living in poverty. This estimate can then be used by legislators to make informed decisions. 6. quod era 1999 and malz Use what you know about sampling methods to describe, in two or three sentences, how a simple random sample of size n=20 may be obtained from the full list of jurisdictions provided for use with this assignment.
An organization monitors many aspects of elementary and secondary education nationwide. Their 2000 numbers are often used as a baseline to assess changes. In 2000, 23% of students had not been absent from school even once during the previous month. In the 2004 survey, responses from 7792 randomly selected students showed that this figure had slipped to 22%. Officials would be concerned if student attendance were declining. Please refer to the following images:

A Pew Internet Project Data Memo presented data comparing adult gamers with teen gamers with respect to the devices on which they play. The data are from two surveys. The adult survey had 1063 gamers, while the teen survey had 1064 gamers. The memo reports that 54% of adult gamers played on game consoles (Xbox, PlayStation, Wii, etc.), while 89% of teen gamers played on game consoles. Suppose you want to construct a 95% confidence interval for the difference. You want to test were or not the two proportions (adult using consoles vs teens using consoles) are the same. You have to calculate a pooled estimate for the proportion. What would that be? (Please round to three decimal places)
A graduate student is interested in how viewing different types of scenes affects working memory. For his study, he selects a random sample of 36 adults. The subjects complete a series of working memory tests before and after walking in an urban setting. Before the walk, the mean score on the test of working memory was 9.1. After the walk, the mean score was 1.4 higher. The graduate student has no presupposed assumptions about how viewing different types of scenes affects working memory, so he formulates the null and alternative hypotheses as: H00 : μDD = 0 H11 : μDD ≠ 0 Assume that the data satisfy all of the required assumptions for a repeated-measures t test. The graduate student calculates the following statistics for his hypothesis test: Mean difference (MDD) 1.4 Estimated population standard deviation of the differences (s) 1.6 Estimated standard error of the mean differences (sMDMD) 0.2667 Degrees of freedom (df) 35 The t statistic 5.25 The critical values of t…
You may need to use the appropriate appendix table or technology to answer this question. In the spring of 2017, the Consumer Reports National Research Center conducted a survey of 1,007 adults to learn about their major healthcare concerns. The survey results showed that 583 of the respondents lack confidence they will be able to afford health insurance in the future. (a) What is the point estimate of the population proportion of adults who lack confidence they will be able to afford health insurance in the future. (Round your answer to two decimal places.) (b) At 90% confidence, what is the margin of error? (Round your answer to four decimal places.) (c) Develop a 90% confidence interval for the population proportion of adults who lack confidence they will be able to afford health insurance in the future. (Round your answer to four decimal places.) to (d) Develop a 95% confidence interval for this population proportion. (Round your answer to four decimal places.) to
The Management Department recently purchased a smallcopier for faculty use. Although the workload of the office staff has improved somewhat, the secretaries are still mak-ing too many trips to the Dean’s office when the depart-mental copier is out of service. Sylvia, the departmental secretary, has been keeping track of failure rates and ser-vice times. With a mean time between failures of 100 hours and a mean time to repair of 24 hours, how much of thetime is the new copier available for faculty use?

When you hold the mouse pointer over a point on the graph, the specific value corresponding to that point appears (e.g., “California, 2013 - 19.4%”) as well as a line called “90% Confidence” followed by an range of values. Generally speaking, what does the range of values denoted by “90% Confidence” indicate?
A professor was interested in how exam performance related to study time. Just before an exam began the professor asked students in his class to write down how many hours they had studied for the exam in the past two weeks. He then compared their exam scores to the reported study time. What type of study did the professor carry out? ex post facto correlational case experimental

Mood variation is related to photoperiod in some people, and the likelihood of depression increases in the winter months. As a result, people often assume that suicide rates increase in winter. A study in Finland (Valtonen et al. 2006) divided the year 1997 into equal halves and compared the number of suicides in “winter” (24 September to 19 March) and “summer” (remainder of year). Out of a total of 1636 suicides, 766 were in winter and 870 were in the summer. Based on these data, estimate the proportion of suicides that occurred in winter, assuming that the suicides were independent. Are the data compatible with a greater suicide rate in winter than summer, based on a 95% confidence interval?
