In 2013, the Pew Research Foundation reported that "45% of U.S. adults report that they live with one or more chronic conditions". However, this value was based on a sample, so it may not be a perfect estimate for the population parameter of interest on its own. The study reported a standard error of about 1.2%, and a normal model may reasonably be used in this setting. Create a 95% confidence interval for the proportion of U.S. adults who live with one or more chronic conditions. Also interpret the confidence interval in the context of the study. The point estimate p =.45 V o 0.45 The confidence coefficient z* = (Round to two decimal places.) The standard error SE = .012 V o 0.012 We are 95% o confident that the true proportion of U.S. adults that live with one or more chronic conditions is between % and %. (Enter the last two answers as percents, with the smaller percent first and rounded to the nearest tenth.)

A 95% confidence interval for the mean body mass index (BMI) of young American women is 26.8±0.626.8±0.6. One of your classmates interprets this interval in the following way: “The mean BMI of young American women cannot be 28.” Is your classmate’s interpretation correct? If not, what is the correct interpretation of the confidence interval? Incorrect. We are 95% confident that future samples of young women will have mean BMI between 26.2 and 27.4. Incorrect. We are 95% confident that the interval from 26.2 and 27.4 captures the BMI of all young American women. Correct. The interval states that the mean BMI of young American women is between 26.2 and 27.4, so the mean cannot be 28. Incorrect. We are 95% confident that the interval from 26.2 and 27.4 captures the true mean BMI of all young American women. Incorrect. If we take many samples, the population mean BMI will be between 26.2 and 27.4 in about 95% of those samples.
When a population has less variability, for the same margin of error and confidence level, the confidence interval becomes a. larger b. smaller c. of unchanged size
if n=20, x=43, and s=9, construct a confidence interval at a 98% confidence level, the data came from a normally distributed population.
Provide an explanation as to why it would be very unlikely that a different sample of size n=30 would produce the same confidence interval.
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…

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:
The design of controls and instruments affects how easily people can use them. A student project investigated this effect by asking 25 right handed students to turn a knob with their right hands that moved an indicator by screw action. There were two identical instruments, one with a right-hand thread and the other with a left-hand thread. The table given has the data from the student project.1. Calculate and interpret a 90% confidence interval for the mean time advantage of right hand over left hand threads in the setting above.
you conducted additional studies with these men and found the following: a. The RR for those who drank one drink per day was 1.50 (95% CI:1.32-1.67) in comparison to the abstainers. b. For those men who drank three or more drinks per day the RR compared to the abstainers was 4.20 (95% CI 2.68-5.85). Question: We can tell from the Confidence Intervals provided in #7 whether there are likely more people in the “one drink a day” group or the “3+ drinks per day” group. Which one likely has more people and how can we tell?
In September a biological research team caught, weighed, and released a random sample of 24 chipmunks in Rocky Mountain National Park. The mean of the sample weights was x-bar = 8.7 oz. with sample standard deviation s = 1.4 oz. Find a 90% confidence interval for the mean September weight of all chipmunks in Rocky Mountain National Park.
Suppose NBC has asked the same question to a sample of 1296 adults nine months earlier, finding 47% with an optimistic outlook for the year ahead. Develop a 95% confidence interval for the percentage of American adults who had an optimistic outlook for the economy nine months earlier.
It is estimated that in the general population about 9 out of every 1000 or 0.009 children are diagnosed with autism. on study included 92 six-month old babies who had a sibling with autism. twenty-eight of these babies were later diagnosed with autism. we will systematically construct a 99% confidence interval for the proportion of siblings of autistic children likely to have autism. what is the research question for this study? what is the correct symbol for the population parameter we are seeking to estimate? What is the proper notation for the observed test statistic for this study? What is the numerical value of the observed test statistic for this study? and whats the formula used?
