Determine the specified confidence interval. An organization advocating for health care reform has estimated the average cost for health care of a senior citizen receiving Medicare to be about $13,000 per year. At the end of the article it was stated that, with 90% confidence, the margin of error for this estimate is $1,000. What is the resulting 90% confidence interval for the average cost for health care of a senior citizen receiving Medicare? ($12,000 , $13,000) ($12,000 , $14,000) ($12,500 , $13,500) ($13,000 , $14,000)

Part A. Which of the following statements is/are always true? [Select] 1. A 90% confidence interval is narrower than a 95% confidence interval for the same data set. II. Increasing the sample size will increase the margin of error in your confidence interval, for the same confidence level. Part B. If you want to construct a 90% confidence interval for the unknown population mean u, then the confidence coefficient is [Select]
1. Construct a 95% confidence interval to estimate the proportion of Wingate male students that are left- handed. From previous class surveys 17 out of 126 male students were left-handed. Interpret your confidence interval. By interpretation, I mean something like what is contained in the class notes, which is "we are X% certain that the true proportion of ...". 2. Construct a 95% confidence interval to estimate the proportion of Wingate female students that are left-handed. From class surveys 15 out of 181 female students were left-handed. Interpret your confidence interval. 3. Does it appear that males and females have the same proportion of left-handed people? This will help you decide - if your confidence intervals from problems 1 and 2 do not overlap, you could conclude that the proportion of left-handed males does not equal the proportion of left-handed females. If they overlap, you could not rule out the possibility that the two proportions are equal.
2. A drug company has introduced a new treatment for the flu. The current leading brand's treatment cures the flu in 80% of patients. In a random sample of 200 people, the new treatment cured the flu in 166 people. a. Find the 99% confidence interval for the true proportion of patients cured of the flu for the new treatment. b. Interpret the confidence interval in the words of the problem. c. Find the margin of error. d. Does this data and analysis provide evidence so that the company can claim its new treatment is superior to the leading brand at the 99% confidence level? Justify!

Mental health. The General Social Survey asked the question: “For how many days during the past30 days was your mental health, which includes stress, depression, and problems with emotions, not good?”Based on responses from 1,151 US residents, the survey reported a 95% confidence interval of 3.40 to 4.24days in 2010.(a) Interpret this interval in context of the data.(b) What does “95% confident” mean? Explain in the context of the application.(c) Suppose the researchers think a 99% confidence level would be more appropriate for this interval. Willthis new interval be smaller or wider than the 95% confidence interval?(d) If a new survey were to be done with 500 Americans, do you think the standard error of the estimatebe larger, smaller, or about the same.
You may need to use the appropriate appendix table or technology to answer this question. A survey asked senior executives at large corporations their opinions about the economic outlook for the future. One question was, "Do you think that there will be an increase in the number of full-time employees at your company over the next 12 months?" In the current survey, 228 of 400 executives answered Yes, while in a previous year survey, 176 of 400 executives had answered Yes. Provide a 95% confidence interval estimate for the difference between the proportions at the two points in time. (Use current year previous year. Round your answer to four decimal places.) to What is your interpretation of the interval estimate? The 95% confidence interval ---Select--- ✓zero. This suggests that the proportion of executives who are predicting an increase in full- time jobs for the current year is ---Select--- ✓ than the proportion of executives who were predicting an increase in full-time jobs for the…

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?

Offline Activity: Solve the following. Interpret the resulting data. 1. A consumer watch group interviewed a random sample of 1000 consumers and asked them if they are optimistic about the economy or not. There were 612 who said Yes.

The following questions are concerned with confidence interval estimation of one population mean. (true or false) a. The margin of error can be determined if one knows only the length of the confidence interval b. The confidence interval can be obtained if one knows the margin of error and the sample mean c. The sample mean can be determined if one knows the endpoints of the confidence interval
