In a study of starting salaries for assistant professors, five male assistant professors at each of three types of doctoral-granting institutions were randomly polled and their starting salaries were recorded under the condition of anonymity. The results of the survey (measured in $1,000) are given below. Public Universities: 50.3, 48.9, 49.5, 69.5, 53.0 Private-Independent: 80.8, 70.2, 61.9, 68.0, 68.0 Church-Affiliated: 67.9, 58.3, 58.7, 47.2, 51.2 Use R to construct a 98% confidence interval for the difference in mean starting salaries (in thousands of dollars) for assistant professors at public and private/independent doctoral- granting institutions. (Use Public-Private. Enter your answer using interval notation. Round your numerical values to one decimal place.) thousand dollars

Income Tax and the IRS. In 2010, the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) sampled 308,946 tax returns to obtain estimates of various parameters. Data were published in Statistics of Income, Individual Income Tax Returns. According to that document, the mean income tax per return for the returns sampled was $11,266. a. Explain the meaning of sampling error in this context.b. If, in reality, the population mean income tax per return in 2010 was $11,354, how much sampling error was made in estimating that parameter by the sample mean of $11,266?c. If the IRS had sampled 400,000 returns instead of 308,946, would the sampling error necessarily have been smaller? Explain your answer.d. In future surveys, how can the IRS increase the likelihood of small sampling error?
Thirty-five percent of all Americans drink bottled water more than once a week (Natural resources Defense Council, December 4, 2015). Suppose you have been hired by the Natural Resources Defence Council to investigate bottled water consumption in St. Paul. You plan to select a sample of St. Paulites to estimate the proportion who drink bottled water more than once a week. Assume the popluation proportion of St. Paulites who drink bottled water more than once a week is 0.35 , the same as the overall proportion of Americans who drink bottled water more than once a week. Suppose you select a sample of 540 St. Paulites. Show the sampling distribution of “p with a line over it” (to 4 decimals). E(p with a line over it) = 0` p with a line over it = Based upon a sample of 540 St. Paulites, what is the probability that the sample proportion will be within 0.08 of the population proportion (to 4 decimals). Probability = Suppose you select a sample of 190 St. Paulites. Show the sampling…

The city of Raleigh has 10500 registered voters. There are two candidates for city council in an upcoming election: Brown and Feliz. The day before the election, a telephone poll of 500 randomly selected registered voters was conducted. 158 said they'd vote for Brown, 293 said they'd vote for Feliz, and 49 were undecided.Give the sample statistic for the proportion of voters surveyed who said they'd vote for Brown. Note: The proportion should be a fraction or decimal, not a percent.
A programmer plans to develop a new software system. In planning for the operating system that he will use, he needs to estimate the percentage of computers that use a new operating system. How many computers must be surveyed in order to be 99% confident that his estimate is in error by no more than two percentage points question mark Complete parts (a) a) Assume that nothing is known about the percentage of computers with new operating systems.
