Question
A survey was taken of randomly selected​ Americans, age 65 and​ older, which found that
413
of
1014
men and
548
of
1063
women suffered from some form of arthritis.
 
​a) Are the assumptions and conditions necessary for inference​ satisfied? Explain.
​b) Create a​ 95% confidence interval for the difference in the proportions of senior men and women who have this disease.
​c) Interpret your interval in this context.
​d) Does this suggest that arthritis is more likely to afflict women than​ men? Explain.
​a) Are the assumptions and conditions necessary for inference​ satisfied? Explain.
 
 
A.
​No, the groups were not independent.
 
B.
​No, more than​ 10% of the population was sampled.
 
C.
​No, it was not a random sample.
 
D.
​Yes, it was a random​ sample, less than​ 10% of the population was​ sampled, the groups were​ independent, and there were more than 10 successes and failures in each group.
 
​b) Let
p1
be the sample proportion of senior women suffering from some form of​ arthritis, and let
p2
be the sample proportion of senior men suffering from some form of arthritis. Create a​ 95% confidence interval for the difference in the proportions of senior men and women who have this​ disease,
p1−p2.
 
The confidence interval is
,.
​(Round to three decimal places as​ needed.)
​c) There is​ 95% confidence, based on these​ samples, that the proportion of American​ women, age 65 and​ older, who suffer from arthritis is between
nothing​%
and
nothing​%
 
less
more
than the proportion of American men of the same age who suffer from arthritis.
​(Round to one decimal place as​ needed.)
​d) Does this suggest that arthritis is more likely to afflict women than​ men? Select the correct answer below​ and, if​ necessary, fill in the answer boxes within your choice.
 
 
A.
​Yes, there is​ 95% confidence, based on these​ samples, that about
nothing​%
of senior women suffer from​ arthritis, while only
nothing​%
of senior men suffer from arthritis.
​(Round to one decimal place as​ needed.)
 
B.
​No, a conclusion cannot be made based on the confidence interval.
 
C.
​No, the interval is too close to 0.
 
D.
​Yes, the entire interval lies above 0.
