A marketing research company is estimating which of two soft drinks college students prefer. A random sample of n college students produced the following 95% confidence interval for the proportion of college students who prefer drink A : (.342,.482). Identify the point estimate for estimating the true proportion of college students who prefer that drink.

A major company would like to assess the impact of using a professional trainer to conduct a confidence-building workshop with its salespeople. A sample of 16 workers is obtained. Half (n = 8) attend the workshop and the other half (n = 8) serves as a control group. Two weeks later, each of the participants is given a questionnaire measuring the level of self-confidence. The data are as follows: Controls: M=17.5 SS=100 n=8 WorkShop M=22.7 SS=124 n=8 a. conduct the four steps of hypothesis testing to evaluate the significance of the treatment effect and calculate Cohen’s d to measure the size of the treatment effect. Use a two-tailed test with alpha level = .05

Conduct a statistical test to determine if the difference between workshop and control groups mean confidence scores are statistically significant.
In a survey of 1002 people, 70% said that they voted in a recent presidential election. In constructing a 95% confidence interval for the proportion of the population who voted in a recent election: What is the margin of error E =?
5. At Community Hospital, the burn center is experimenting with a new plasma compress treatment. A random sample of 316 patients with minor burns received the plasma compress treatment. Of these patients, 259 had no visible scars after treatment. Another random sample of 419 patients with minor burns received no plasma compress treatment. For this group, 94 had no visible scars after treatment. Find a 90% confidence interval for the difference between the two population proportions.
In a recent survey, 1100 adult Americans were randomly selected and examined for high blood pressure. The number of patients classified with hypertension (high blood pressure) is 418. The department of Health and Human services has a target of 36% for hypertension prevalence. Based on the 95% confidence interval, is there any evidence to suggest that the prevalence of hypertension is different from the target value? Let p be the true proportion of adult Americans with hypertension. Answer choice: 95% CI: (0.3801, 0.4263), there is not sufficient evidence to suggest that p is different from 0.36. 95% CI: (0.3801, 0.4263), there is evidence to suggest that p is different from 0.36. 95% CI: (0.3513, 0.4087), there is not sufficient evidence to suggest that p is different from 0.36. 95% CI: (0.3513, 0.4087), there is evidence to suggest that p is different from 0.36.
An insurance company selected samples of clients under 18 years of age and over 18 and recorded the number of accidents they had in the previous year. We are interested in determining if the accident proportions differ between the two age groups. The results are shown below. a =0.05 Under age of 18 Over age of 18 n₂ =500 n₁ = 480 Number of accidents = 160 Number of accidents = 140 The test statistic is A 90% confidence interval for the proportion between two age groups is approximately Given a 5% level of significance, what decision should be reached about the null hypothesis
A poll found that people from the north now have relatively warm feelings toward people from the south. A poll, conducted by telephone among a random sample of 747 adults, found that 605 of those sampled consider the two regions friends. The margin of error for the poll was plus or minus 2.8 percentage points (for a 0.95 confidence level). Use this information to obtain a 95% confidence interval for the percentage of all northerners who consider the two regions friends. The 95% confidence interval is from % to %. (Type an integer or a decimal rounded to one decimal place as needed.)
A survey asked, "How many tattoos do you currently have on your body?" Of the 1217 males surveyed, 179 responded that they had at least one tattoo. Of the 1075 females surveyed, 137 responded that they had at least one tattoo. Construct a 90% confidence interval to judge whether the proportion of males that have at least one tattoo differs significantly from the proportion of females that have at least one tattoo. Interpret the interval. ... Let p₁ represent the proportion of males with tattoos and p2 represent the proportion of females with tattoos. Find the 90% confidence interval for p₁-P2- The lower bound is The upper bound is (Round to three decimal places as needed.) Interpret the interval. OA. There is 90% confidence that the difference of the proportions is in the interval. Conclude that there is a significant difference in the proportion of males and females that have at least one tattoo. OB.

A beverage company would like to determine if their drink is preferred to a rival company’s drink. They perform an experiment with 150 randomly selected individuals and have them taste test the two different drinks in a controlled environment so that each person's preference is independent of others. A 90% confidence interval for the proportion preferring their drink is (0.453, 0.587). Which of the following is the correct interpretation of this confidence interval? 90% of all consumers prefer this beverage company’s drink to their rival’s between 45.3% and 58.7% of the time. We’re 90% confident that between 45.3% and 58.7% of all consumers would prefer this beverage company’s drink to their rival’s drink. We’re 90% confident that there’s a 45.3% to 58.7% chance that a randomly selected person would prefer this beverage company’s drink to their rival’s drink. We’re 90% confident that the proportion of people in the sample who prefer this beverage company’s drink over their…
