c) In a study 25 of the company’s jet engine workers were interviewed to determine the proportion that were specialists in their field. It was found that seven (7) of the workers from the group were specialist in their field. (i) i) What is an unbiased estimate for the population proportion of the company’s workers who are specialist in their field? ii) Provide a 90% confidence interval for the true population proportion of specialist workers. iii) Assuming a 95% level of confidence, how many workers (sample size) should be interviewed if the true population proportion is to be estimated with an error not exceeding 0.04?

The National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) measures the Graduation Success Rate (GSR), which is the percentage of eligible athletes who graduate within six years of entering college. According to the NCAA, the GSR for all scholarship athletes in a particular division is 64%. The GSR for all students in this division is 61%. Suppose the NCAA report was based on a sample of 1,000 student-athletes, of which 640 graduated within six years. Is this sufficient information to conclude that the GSR for all scholarship athletes in this division differs from 61%? Carry out the test using a Type I error rate of 0.05. What are the hypotheses for this test? O A. Ho: p# 0.61 Ha: p=0.61 OC. Ho: p > 0.61 H₁: p≤0.61 E. Ho: p=0.61 Ha: p Calculate the value of the z-statistic for this test.

A graduate student is interested in how viewing different types of scenes affects working memory. For his study, he selects a random sample of 36 adults. The subjects complete a series of working memory tests before and after walking in an urban setting. Before the walk, the mean score on the test of working memory was 9.1. After the walk, the mean score was 1.4 higher. The graduate student has no presupposed assumptions about how viewing different types of scenes affects working memory, so he formulates the null and alternative hypotheses as: H00 : μDD = 0 H11 : μDD ≠ 0 Assume that the data satisfy all of the required assumptions for a repeated-measures t test. The graduate student calculates the following statistics for his hypothesis test: Mean difference (MDD) 1.4 Estimated population standard deviation of the differences (s) 1.6 Estimated standard error of the mean differences (sMDMD) 0.2667 Degrees of freedom (df) 35 The t statistic 5.25 The critical values of t…

3. Dentists make many people nervous. To assess any effect of such nervousness on blood pressure, the systolic blood pressure of 60 subjects was measured both in a dental setting and in a medical setting (The Effect of the Dental Setting on Blood Pressure Measurement," Amer. J. of Public Health, 1983:1210- 1214). For each subject, the difference between dental setting pressure and medical setting pressure was computed; the resulting sample mean difference and sample standard deviation of the differences were 4.47 and 8.77 mmHg, respectively. o (a) Estimate the true mean difference between blood pressures for these two settings using a 99% confidence level. o (b) Does it appear that the true mean pressure is different in a dental setting than in a medical setting? Explain your reasoning.
8) Research published in the Journal of Quantitative Criminology (Mar. 2010) revealed that the risk of burglaries in homes located on cul-de-sacs is lower than from homes on major roads. What size sample would be required to estimate the population proportion of cul-de-sac homes in your home city that were burglarized in the past year within 2% at the 99% confidence level?
Results from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) conducted thirty years ago revealed that out of 378 randomly selected adults in the United States 57 were considered to be obese. In this year’s National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey, out of 426randomly selected adults in the United States 135 were considered to be obese. Based on these results, can one conclude, at the 0.01 level of significance, that the percentage of adults in the United States that are obese is considerably higher now than it was thirty years ago?

The state highway department is studying traffic patterns on one of the busiest highways in the state. As part of the study. the department needs to estimate the average number of vehicles that pass an intersection each day. One of the department's officer (Officer A) claims that on average, more than 15,000 cars passing the intersection. On the other hand. Officer B claims that on average, 18,000 cars passing the intersection. Meanwhile, a random sample of 64 days gives a sample mean of 14,205 cars and a sample standard deviation of 1,010 cars. Test both claim at 0.05 level of significance. Use the critical value approach and show the complete calculation steps for each testing. Whose claim is true? Testing Officer A's claim Step 1: State the hypotheses Step 2: Find critical value and state the decision rule Step 3: Compute the test value Step 4: Make decision Step 5: Conclusion Testing Officer B's claim Step 1: State the hypotheses Step 2: Find critical value and state the decision…
The dataset "nurses" is a random sample of 1,000 cases from “Health Care Provider Credential Data” from Washington State Open Data Portal. In the sample, there are 418 CNA's and 278 of the CNA's have expired credentials. Use the statistics from the nurses dataset to answer the following question: "With 90% confidence, what percent of all CNA's on Washington State's healthcare provider list are expired?"
