(a) Construct a 95% confidence interval estimate of population mean score a student get in the IELTS mock examination in 2022. (b) Test, at 1% level of significance, if the population proportion of students get 7 points or above in 2022 is higher than that in year 2017. (The report must include the (i) null hypothesis and alternative hypothesis, (ii) rejection region(s), (iii) calculation of test statistics, and (iv) conclusion.) (c) If the confidence interval estimate in part (a) is constructed at 99% instead of 95%, would the interval be (I) wider, (II) narrower, or (III) no change in width? (State your answer, no explanation is needed in part (c).)

You will be conducting a telephone survey of university students who are 21 years of age or older. You have determined that a sample size of 250 will allow reasonable precision and confidence for your estimates of important population parameters. Let’s assume that 15% of the telephone numbers aren’t working, 2% of students you contact are ineligible because they have working telephone numbers but have left the school, about 20% of students will refuse to participate, and you will be unable to reach 30% of those selected for the sample. How many sampling elements should you include in the project?
A physical therapist wants to determine the difference in the proportion of men and women who participate in regular sustained physical activity. What sample size should be obtained if she wishes the estimate to be within five percentage points with 95% confidence, assuming that (a) she uses the estimates of 22.9% male and 19.5% female from a previous year? (b) she does not use any prior estimates?
True or false? A researcher wants to estimate the impact prenatal care during pregnancy can have on premature deliveries by conducting a retrospective case-controlled study on new moms. If the prevalence of premature births is 10.9%, the researcher should enroll a total of 586 women in the study if the researchers want to construct a 90% confidence interval fir the difference in proportions that has a margin of error of no more than 3%.
In constructing a 98% confidence interval for the mean of a population with variance 25, how large a sample must be used to ensure that the margin of error does not exceed 0.8? Calculation.
A performance analyst simulated a computer system a total of 10 times, each simulation run independent of all the others. She calculated and recorded the sample means for system response time from each of the 10 runs, coming up with the following data: 2,5,17,3,9,6,4,25,8,1(a) What is the confidence interval with a 95% confidence level for the mean response time? (b) The performance analyst was concerned that the width of the confidence interval was too large, and consulted one of her colleagues (who never took simulation and modeling). He assured her that the width of the confidence interval was large because of the two large "outliers," the values 17 and 25, and that she could reduce the width of the confidence interval simply by discarding these values. She tried this, and discovered that the width of the interval did indeed go down substantially. Is this a valid method? Why or why not?
The average height of all male students in ENG2015 in section A is 5 feet and 9 inches (or 175.26 centimeters). A sample of 18 male is selected, and their heights (in centimeters) are in the table below. Develop a 95% confidence interval to estimate the population mean.

(3) If a retailer would like to estimate the proportion of their customers who bought an item after viewing their website on a certain day with a 90% confidence level and 3% margin of error, how many customers do they have to monitor?
According to the website www.collegedrinkingprevention.gov, "About 25 percent of college students report academic consequences of their drinking including missing class, falling behind, doing poorly on exams or papers, and receiving lower grades overall." A statistics student is curious about drinking habits of students at his college. He wants to estimate the mean number of alcoholic drinks consumed each week by students at his college. He plans to use a 90% confidence interval. He surveys a random sample of 63 students. The sample mean is 3.7 alcoholic drinks per week. The sample standard deviation is 3.2 drinks. Construct the 90% confidence interval to estimate the average number of alcoholic drinks consumed each week by students at this college. 1. The t value is - 2. The standard error has a value of -- 3. The margin of error has a value of 4. Construct the 90% confidence interval to estimate the average number of alcoholic drinks consumed each week by students at this college.
If an unbiased estimator (for a certain 0 on the whole real line) is sufficient, must it be a maximum likelihood estimator? Explain your reasoning.
A physical therapist wants to determine the difference in the proportion of men and women who participate in regular sustained physical activity. What sample size should be obtained if he wishes the estimate to be within five percentage points with 99% confidence, assuming that (a) he uses the estimates of 21.6% male and 18.7% female from a previous year? (b) he does not use any prior estimates?
