A scientist's is rolling a dice which has six possible outcomes. He is comparing the expected values of each number to see if the dice is equally weighted. The Chi- squared value of his experiment is 7.84. Using the 95% confidence interval (0.05 probability value) what is the degrees of freedom for his experiment?

You want to survey students to see what proportion of them have taken Statistics 101. This survey hasn't been previously completed, so no estimate is known. How large of a sample size is necessary if we want the margin of error to be within 4% with a 95% confidence interval?
Let's say you survey a random sample of people. You find that 53% prefer apples over oranges. You make a 90% confidence interval for the proportion of people who prefer apples. The resulting confidence interval is: 0.448 to 0.612 Based on this interval, assess the following statement: We are 90% confident that the proportion of people who prefer apples over oranges is between 0.448 and 0.612 is it : True or False
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
In a statistics activity, students are asked to determine the proportion of times that a spinning penny will land with tails up. The students are instructed to spin the penny 10 times and record the number of times the penny lands tails up. For one student, it lands tails side up six times. The student will construct a 90% confidence interval for the true proportion of tails up. Are the conditions for inference met? Yes, the conditions for inference are met. No, the 10% condition is not met. No, the randomness condition is not met. No, the Large Counts Condition is not met.
An inspector inspects large truckloads of potatoes to determine the proportion with blemishes prior to using the potatoes to make potato chips. She intends to compute a 95% confidence interval for this proportion. To do so, she selects a simple random sample of 90 potatoes, and finds 12 with blemishes. The 95% confidence interval is (0.063, 0.204). What is the correct interpretation for this confidence interval? The inspector can be 95% confident that the proportion of potatoes with blemishes is 0.133. In 95% of samples taken, between 6.3% and 20.4% of the sampled potatoes would have blemishes. The inspector can be 95% confident that the interval from 0.063 to 0.204 captures the proportion of all potatoes on the truck with blemishes. There is a 5% probability that the proportion of all potatoes that have blemishes is either below 0.063 or above 0.204.
