Mechanical components are being produced continuously. A quality control program for the mechanical components requires a close estimate of the proportion defective in production when all settings are correct. 1020 components are examined under these conditions, and 27 of the 1020 items are found to be defective. (a) Find a point estimate of the proportion defective. (b) Find a 95% two-sided confidence interval. (c) Find an upper limit giving 95% level of confidence that the true proportion defective is less than this limiting value. Use Excel in parts (b) and (c).only a nee

You want to estimate the difference between two population proportions using an 80% confidence interval. You need to take samples that are large enough, so that the width of the confidence interval does not exceed 5.0%. You wish to take two samples (one from each population) of the same size n. The populations have not been sampled before, and therefore you have no information about what the two proportions may be. Using the most conservative estimates for the two population proportions, what is the minimum sample size you will need (for both of the samples)? (Round the result up to the nearest integer.)
1. For a group of 10 students subjected to a stress situation the mean number of heartbeats/minutes was 126 and the standard deviation was 4. Find the 95% confidence interval for the true mean.
Suppose you take a sample of size 46 from a Normal distribution with unknown population mean and a population standard deviation of 11. You find your sample has mean 406 and intend to use this as an estimate in a confidence interval. If you wish to construct a 95% confidence interval, what margin of error should you use? Give your answer to two decimal places
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.
1. In a study of perception, 110 men are tested and 24 are found to have red/green color blindness (based on data from USA Today). Assume that this was done in a simple random manner. A 95% confidence interval estimate of the proportion of all men with red/green color blindness was found to be 0.14 to 0.30. If we learn that the actual population proportion of men with red/green colorblindness is equal to 0.12, then what can we conclude? A. The confidence interval was wrong. B. We would need to see the sample data to make any conclusions Pick either answer A or B as your answer and show your work to go with it
