What critical value of t* should be used for a 95% confidence interval for the population mean based on a random sample of 21 observations? Find the t-table here. t* = 1.721 t* = 1.725 t* = 2.080 t* = 2.086
A poll reported 41% support for a statewide election with a margin of error of 4.71 percentage points. How many voters should be sampled for a 99% confidence interval? Round up to the nearest whole number.
According to some theorists, teenagers who spend more time with their friends in unsupervised activities are more likely to engage in delinquent conduct. You question a random sample of 2,500 high-school youths about number of hours spent in unsupervised peer activities (e.g., cruising, shopping, movies) and frequency of delinquent behavior. Unit of analysis/observation = Population = Sample = %3D Dependent variable = * Level of measurement: Independent variable = Level of measurement:
In a study of the effect of cooling rate on the hardness of welded joints, 50 welds cooled at a rate of 10°C/s had an average Rockwell (B) hardness of 91.1 and a standard deviation of 6.23, and 40 welds cooled at a rate of 30°C/s had an average hardness of 90.7 and a standard deviation of 4.34. a) Find a 95% confidence interval for the difference in hardness between welds cooled at the different rates. b) Someone says that the cooling rate has no effect on the hardness. Do these data contradict this claim? Explain.
A clinical trial is run to investigate the effectiveness of an experimental drug in reducing preterm delivery to a drug considered standard care and to placebo. Pregnant women are enrolled and randomly assigned to receive either the experimental drug, the standard drug or placebo. Women are followed through delivery and classified as delivering preterm (< 37 weeks) or not. The data are shown below. Is there a statistically significant difference in the proportions of women delivering preterm among the three treatment groups? Run the test at a 5% level of significance. Give each of the following 1) the appropriate null and alternative hypotheses; 2) the appropriate test; 3) the decision rule; 4) the calculation of the test statistic; and 5) your conclusion including a comparison to alpha or the critical value. Preterm Delivery Total Yes No Experimental Drug Standard Drug Placebo Total 33 40 32 45 13 18 17 35 37 83 120

Does the confidence interval support the claim that the mean impact strength of gears from supplier 2 is at least 25 foot-pounds higher than that of supplier 1?
A small university is trying to monitor its electricity usage. For a random sample of 30 weekend days (Saturdays and Sundays), the student center used an average of 94.26 kilowatt hours (kWh) with standard deviation 43.29. For a random sample of 60 weekdays, (Monday - Friday), the student center used an average of 112.63 kWh with standard deviation 32.07. Construct a 95% confidence interval for the difference in mean electricity use at the student center between weekdays and weekend days. Use two decimal places in your margin of error. -6.80 to 43.54 kWh -4.61 to 41.35 kWh -3.38 to 40.51 kWh 0.12 to 36.62 kWh
An international organization is investigating the relationship between the life expectancies of men and women in nonindustrialized countries. A random sample of such countries was selected, and life expectancies, in years, were determined for both men and women. A check of the conditions necessary for inference on the slope of a regression line shows that they are met. A 98 percent confidence interval for the slope of the regression line relating life expectancy for men, xx, and women, yy, is given by (1.01,1.34)(1.01,1.34). Based on the interval, which of the following claims is supported? A. Since the interval does not contain 0, it can be concluded that there is no linear relationship between the life expectancies of men and women in nonindustrialized countries. B. Since the interval does not contain 1, it can be concluded that there is no linear relationship between the life expectancies of men and women in nonindustrialized countries. C. Since the values in the interval are…
