We would like to compute a 95% confidence interval for the difference of proportions of men and women who are frequent binge drinkers. Of 534 males, 26% admitted to frequent binge drinking as opposed to 20.6% of 847 women. The 95% confidence interval for the difference of proportions (proportion of males - proportion of females) is (0.0179, 0.1001). Based on this confidence interval, can we conclude that men are more likely to frequently binge drink than women? (4)
A sample of 164 was selected from a large population. 66% of the sample had a characteristic of interest. Calculate a 90% confidence interval estimate for the proportion of the population with the characteristic.
A 95% confidence interval was calculated to be (15, 21). This means that if 100 such confidence intervals (CIs) were constructed, then 95% of the CIs will be (15,21) 95% of the CIs will include the population mean The population mean would lie between (15,21) 95 times. The population mean would be found in about 95 of the CIs.
The national average for the percentage of high school graduates taking the SAT is 49%, but the state averages vary from a low of 4% to a high of 92%. A random sample of 317 graduating high school seniors was polled across a particular tristate area, and it was found that 171 had taken the SAT. Estimate the lower boundary of the true proportion of high school graduates in this region who take the SAT with 95% confidence. Only the final answer should be rounded-off to THREE decimal places.
Twenty-five women between the ages of 70 and 80 were randomly selected from the general population of women their age to take part in a special program to decrease reaction time (speed). After the course, the women had an average reaction time of 688 milliseconds. Assume that the mean reaction time for the general population of women of this age group is 700 milliseconds with a standard deviation of 300 milliseconds. (a) Compute a 95% confidence interval for u, the population mean reaction time for women who have taken part in the program. (b) Perform a hypothesis test to decide whether the course had a significant effect on reaction times.
Mr. Roby is trying to estimate the difference in the proportion of his male students who on average sleep fewer than 6 hours per night compared with his female students. He selects a random sample of 20 of his 75 male students and finds that 5 of them sleep fewer than 6 hours per night. He selects another random sample of 17 of his 100 female students and finds that 8 of them sleep fewer than 6 hours a night. Check the conditions for constructing a confidence interval for the difference in proportions. Random condition: A) metB) not metC) does not apply 10% condition: A) metB) not metC) does not apply Large Counts condition: A) metB) not metC) does not apply Are all the conditions for inference met?

Researchers want to test a new hand exercise plan for arthritis patients to see if they have improved flexibility. They recruited 110 patients with arthritis in their hands and randomly assigned them to one of two treatment groups: group i took their regular medicine and did the new hand exercises; and group 2 only took medicine. After one month, 42 of the 55 in group 1 improved in their flexibility, and 37 of the 55 in group 2 improved their flexibility. Based on the 95% confidence interval (-0.076, 0.258), is there convincing evidence of a difference in the proportion of patients like these who would show improvement in flexibility if they did the new hand exercises along with taking the medicine versus just taking the medicine? v to believe there va difference in the proportion of patients like these who would show improvement in flexibility if they did the new hand exercises along with taking the medicine versus just taking the medicine. Because v contained in the interval, there…
