A financial advisor believes that the proportion of investors who are risk-averse (that is , try to avoid risk in their investment decisions). is at least 0.7. A survey of 32 investors found that 20 of them were risk-averse. Formulate a one sample hypothesis test for a proportion t test this belief. Assume that the alternative hypothesis is that the population proportion that is risk averse is less than 0.7 (It's a bit unclear from the text of the problem). What is the p-value
Cora wants to determine a 80 percent confidence interval for the true proportion of high school students in the area who attend their home basketball games. How large of a sample must she have to get a margin of error less than 0.04? Assume we have no prior estimate of the proportion and want a conservative choice for the sample size. [Round to the smallest integer that works.] n =
Jeremiah wants to estimate the mean age of students at his large university. He'll sample n students and make a 95% confidence interval for the mean age. He is willing to use o 3 years as an estimate of the standard deviation, and he wants the margin of error to be no more than 1 year. Which of these is the smallest approximate sample size required to obtain the desired margin of error? Choose 1 answer:
Suppose you are told that a 95% confidence interval for the average price of a gallon of regular gasoline in your state is from $2.87 to $4.23. Use the fact that the confidence interval for the mean is in the form x - E to x + E to compute the sample mean and the maximal margin of error E. (Round your answers to two decimal places.) x = $ E = $
An educator wants to construct a confidence interval for the proportion of elementary school children in Colorado who are proficient in reading. find 1. Sample size 2. Sample size if p wasn’t available 3. Estimate portion would it be larger, smaller or about the same and does it depend on population
In a fishing lodge brochure, the lodge advertises that 75% of its guests catch northern pike over 20 pounds. Suppose that last summer 65 out of a random sample of 78 guests did, in fact, catch northern pike weighing over 20 pounds. Does this indicate that the population proportion of guests who catch pike over 20 pounds is different from 75% (either higher or lower)? Use ? = 0.05. Find the P-value of the test statistic. (Round your answer to four decimal places.) 0.0446 IS NOT THE ANSWER
Suppose you are told that a 95% confidence interval for the average price of a gallon of regular gasoline in your state is from $2.97 to $3.87. Use the fact that the confidence interval for the mean is in the form x − E to x + E to compute the sample mean and the maximal margin of error E. (Round your answers to two decimal places.) x = $ E = $
You want to estimate the proportion of current OSU students who were born outside of Ohio. You survey a random sample of 300 current OSU students and find that the proportion of these students who were born outside of Ohio is 0.36. If you want to construct a 99% confidence interval, what will the margin of error be? Choose the answer that is closest to what you calculate. O Greater than or.equal to 0.10 O 0.05 O 0.03 O Less than or equal to 0.01 0.07
A consultant wants to estimate the average incomeof all the baby boomers in NYC. From prior studies,the standard deviation for the income of all NYCbaby-boomers is known to be about $15,000. Whatshould the sample size be if she wants to be 90%confident that the population mean is within about$1,000 of the sample average?
Suppose we want a 99% confidence interval for the average amount spent on books by freshmen in their first year at college. The amount spent has a normal distribution with standard deviation $31. How large should the sample be if the margin of error is to be less than $3?
Suppose you are told that a 95% confidence interval for the average price of a gallon of regular gasoline in your state is from $2.88 to $4.11. Use the fact that the confidence interval for the mean is in the form x − E to x + E to compute the sample mean and the maximal margin of error E.
