An educational researcher devised a wooden toy assembly project to test learning in 6-year-olds. The time in seconds to assemble the project was noted, and the toy was disassembled out of the child's sight. Then the child was given the task to repeat. The researcher would conclude that learning occurred if the mean of the second assembly times was less than the mean of the first assembly times. Find the 99% confidence interval for the difference in means. Child 1 3 4. 6. Trial 1 108 140 154 115 130 111 108 Trial 2 99 118 154 96 107 102 110

A group conducted a poll of 2034 likely voters just prior to an election. The results of the survey indicated that candidate A would receive 46% of the popular vote and candidate B would receive 44% of the popular vote. The margin of error was reported to be 2%. The group reported that the race was too close to call. Use the concept of a confidence interval to explain what this means.
What is the effect on a confidence interval if one decreases both sample size and the level of confidence?
In a random sample of 250 high school students, it was found that 85.2% (213) of them later graduated. Find the 95% and 98% confidence interval for the true proportion of all high school students who graduate. Compare the two proportions.
A marketing study with a random sample of 400 results in 160 subjects reacting positively to the proposed product. Determine the 95% confidence interval for the population proportion.
Construct a 95% confidence interval for p1 - p2 for a survey that finds 30% of 240 males and 41% of 200 females are opposed to the death penalty. Group of answer choices a.(-0.200, -0.021) b.(-1.532, 1.342) c.(-1.324, 1.512) d.(-0.561, 0.651)
A learn-to-type software program claims that it can improve your typing skills. To test the claim and possibly help yourself out, you and eight of your friends decide to try the program and see what happens. Use the table below to construct an 85%85% confidence interval for the true mean change in the typing speeds for people who have completed the typing program. Let Population 1 be the typing speed before taking the program and Population 2 be the typing speed after taking the program. Round the endpoints of the interval to one decimal place, if necessary. Typing Speeds (in Words per Minute) Before After 42 33 41 54 31 50 30 48 41 31 49 52 34 54 48 49 39 48
A clinical trial tests a method designed to increase the probability of conceiving a girl. In the study 360 babies were born, and 324 of them were girls. Use the sample data to construct a 99% confidence interval estimate of the percentage of girls born. Based on the result, does the method appear to be effective?
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?
In a study of treatments for very painful "cluster" headaches,... Find the 90% confidence interval using technology.
A sports news station wanted to know whether people who live in the North or the South are bigger sports fans. For its study, 121 randomly selected Southerners were surveyed and found to watch a mean of 4.6 hours of sports per week. In the North, 176 randomly selected people were surveyed and found to watch a mean of 3.2 hours of sports per week. Find a 90% confidence interval for the true difference between the mean numbers of hours of sports watched per week for the two regions if the South has a population standard deviation of 1.6 hours per week and the North has a population standard deviation of 1.4 hours per week. Let Population 1 be people who live in the South and Population 2 be people who live in the North. Round the endpoints of the interval to one decimal place, if necessary.

Stanford University conducted a study of whether running is healthy for men and women over age 50. During the first eight years of the study, 1.5% of the 451 members of the 50-plus Fitness Association died. We are interested in the proportion of people over 5o who ran and died in the same eight-year period. Construct a 95% confidence interval for the population proportion of people over 50 who ran and died in the same eight-year period. Explain in a complete sentence what the confidence interval means
Early-childhood-development studies indicate that the more often a child is read to from birth, the earlier the child begins to read. A local parents’ group wants to test this theory and samples families with young children. They find the following results. Construct a 99% confidence interval to estimate the true difference between the proportions of children who read at an early age when they are read to frequently compared to those who were read to less often, as described in the table of results. Let Population 1 be the children who were read to frequently and Population 2 be the children who were read to less often. Round the endpoints of the interval to three decimal places, if necessary. Ages when Children Begin to Read Read to at Least Three Times per Week Read to Fewer than Three Times per Week Started Reading by age 4 60 35 Started Reading after age 4 36 51 Lower end point: Upper end point:
