A school administrator is curious what proportion of the 2,400 students at the school regularly eat breakfast. They take an SRS of 150 of these students, and 104 of them report that they regularly eat breakfast. The administrator wants to use this data to construct a one-sample z interval for a proportion. Which conditions for constructing this confidence interval did their sample meet? Choose all answers that apply: The data is a random sample from the population of interest. The observed counts of successes and failures are both sufficiently large. Individual observations can be considered independent.

A quality-conscious disk manufacturer wishes to know the fraction of disks his company makes which are defective. Step 2 of 2: Suppose a sample of 542 floppy disks is drawn. Of these disks, 37 were defective. Using the data, construct the 95% confidence interval for the population proportion of disks which are defective. Round your answers to three decimal places.
You are interested in constructing a 90% confidence interval for the proportion of all caterpillars that eventually become butterflies. Of the 427 randomly selected caterpillars observed, 45 lived to become butterflies. a. Use 3 decimal places to complete the following statement: With 90% confidence the proportion of all caterpillars that lived to become a butterfly is between and . b. If many groups of 427 randomly selected caterpillars were observed, then a different confidence interval would be produced from each group. About percent of these confidence intervals will contain the true population proportion of caterpillars that become butterflies and about percent will not contain the true population proportion.
The dean of students at a large college is interested in learning about their opinions regarding the percentage of first-year students who should be given parking privileges in the main lot. He sends out an email survey to all students about this issue. A large number of first-year students reply but very few sophomores, juniors, and seniors reply. Based on the responses he receives, he constructs a 90% confidence interval for the true proportion of students who believe first-year students should be given parking privileges in the main lot to be (0.71, 0.79). Which of the following may have an impact on the confidence interval, but is not accounted for by the margin of error? response bias O nonresponse bias O sampling variation O undercoverage bias
Aaliyah wants to know if there is a difference between the proportions data in the following table. Construct a 95 % confidence interval for the true difference between the proportions of customers who just order water to drink at Restaurants A and B. Let Population 1 be the customers of Restaurant A and Population 2 be the customers of Restaurant B. Round the endpoints of the interval to customers who just order water to drink at two popular restaurants in town. She collected the three decimal places, if necessary. Drink orders Water Other Beverage Restaurant A 41 87 Restaurant B 87 62 Answer 囲 Tables 國 Keypad Keyboard Shortcuts Lower Endpoint = Upper Endpoint =
A sociologist is comparing the proportion of teenage boys who receive a text message at least once an hour to the percentage of teenage girls who do. She has collected data from 150 men and 150 women. Which of the following is not a condition that the sociologist should check before creating a confidence interval for the difference in population proportions?
50 of the 600 medical students who were chosen at random stated they intended to work in a rural area. Calculate the 90% confidence interval for the actual percentage of medical students who intend to practice in rural areas. The responses shown here are estimates.
A survey is taken of 250 students, and a P of 0.45 is found. The same survey is repeated with 1,000 students, and the same value is found. Compare the two 95% confidence intervals. What is the relationship? Is the margin of error for the second one four times smaller? How much smaller is it?
Two brands of tires were compared for the proportion of defective tires. Random samples of tires were collected from each brand, and the number of defective tires from each brand was recorded. The data is in the following table. Number of defective tires (x) 41 32 n Continental Michelin 320 180 a.Construct a 97% confidence interval for the difference between the two proportions. b.For part a, find the desired sample sizes if you want the Continental sample to be 1.5 times Michelin sample with a sampling error equal to 0.03. c. Conduct a test of hypothesis to determine if the defective rates are the same. Use the P-value to interpret the results (a is not given).
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) serve 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 Workshop M = 17.5 M = 22.7 SS = 100 SS = 124 What type of t-test would you have to conduct in this scenario? Are the data sufficient to conclude that the treatment has a significant effect? Use a two-tailed test with α = .05. State the hypothesis, find the critical region, calculate your test statistic, evaluate your hypothesis then calculate the Cohen’s d measure for this scenario. State whether this is a weak, moderate, or strong effect.
