In a survey funded by the UW school of medicine, 750 of 1,000 adult Seattle residents said they did not believe they could contract a sexually transmitted infection (STI) and 893 of 1,123 Denver residents said they did not believe they could contract an (STI). Construct a 95% confidence interval of the difference in proportions of Seattle and Denver residents who do not believe they could contract a STI. (Use a z score of 1.96 for your computations.)

A survey of credit card holders revealed that Americans carried an average credit card balance of $3900 in 1995 and $3300 in 1994 (U.S. News & World Report, January 1, 1996). Suppose that these averages are based on random samples of 400 credit card holders in 1995 and 450 credit card holders in 1994 and that the population standard deviations of the balances were $880 in 1995 and $810 in 1994. Construct a 95% confidence interval for the difference between the mean credit card balances for all credit card holders in 1995 and 1994. a. ($285.81, $414.19) b. ($435.81, $700.19) c. ($845.81, $9984.19) d. ($485.81, $714.19)
In a science fair project, Emily conducted an experiment in which she tested professional touch therapists to see if they could sense her energy field. She flipped a coin to select either her right hand or her left hand, and then she asked the therapists to identify the selected hand by placing their hand just under Emily's hand without seeing it and without touching it. Among 330 trials, the touch therapists were correct 155 times. Using Emily's sample results, construct a 95% confidence interval estimate of the proportion of correct responses made by touch therapists.
A sanatorium conducted a study on 3,500 women over 35 years of age, of whom 220 reported having suffered kidney pain. Determine the 95% and 99% confidence intervals.
In a Pew Research poll, 287 out of 522 randomly selected U.S. men were able to identify Egypt when it was highlighted on a map of the Middle East. When 520 randomly selected U.S. women were asked, 233 were able to do so. Construct and interpret a 95% confidence interval for the difference in the true proportion of U.S. men and U.S. women who can identify Egypt on a map. (0.499) (0.501) 0.102 + 2.5761 1042 We are 95% confident that the interval from 0.062 to 0.142 captures p1 – P2 = the true difference in the proportions of men and women who can identify Egypt on a map. (0.55) (0.45) (0.448) (0.552) (0.550 – 0.448) ± 1.961 522 520 We are 95% confident that the interval from 0.042 to 0.160 captures p1 – p2 = the true difference in the proportions of men and women who can identify Egypt on a map.

A quality control inspector selects 12 bottles of apple juice at random from a single day’s production. The mean amount of apple juice in the bottles is 298.3 milliliters, and the 95% confidence interval for the true mean amount of juice dispensed per bottle is (296.4, 300.2). Does this interval give the quality control inspector reason to believe that the mean amount of juice in today’s bottles differs from 300 milliliters, as the juice label promises? Yes, since the sample mean of 298.3 ml is less than 300 ml. Yes, since nearly the entire confidence interval is less than the advertised value of 300 ml. No, since the sample mean of 298.3 ml is in the confidence interval. No, since the advertised value of 300 ml is in the confidence interval.
A study of 420,007 cell phone users found that 136 of them developed cancer of the brain or nervous system. Prior to this study of cell phone use, the rate of such cancer was found to be 0.0319% for those not using cell phones. Complete parts (a) and (b). Use the sample data to construct a 90% confidence interval estimate of the percentage of cell phone users who develop cancer of the brain or nervous system. b. Do cell phone users appear to have a rate of cancer of the brain or nervous system that is different from the rate of such cancer among those not using cell phones? Why or why not?

A researcher finds that individuals with a high school education or less are more likely to have hypertension than individuals with at least some college education. They report a relative risk of 2.1 with a 95% confidence interval or (1.6, 2.5). They then stratify their analysis by smoking status and report a relative risk of hypertension in smokers with a high school education or less as compared to smokers with at least some college education of 1.4 with a 95% confidence interval of (0.9, 1.9), and a relative risk of hypertension in non-smokers with a high school education or less as compared to non-smokers with at least some college education of 2.6 with a 95% confidence interval of (2.1, 3.2), Which of the following is not true? A) there is effect modification by smoking status B) there is effect modification by hypertension status C) there is no statistically significant assocation between education and hypertension amoung smokers D) Education and hypertension are not…
