Problem #2: Many types of error will cause a computer program to terminate or give incorrect results. One type of error is punctuation. For instance, if a comma is inserted in the wrong place, the program might not run. A study of programs written by students in an introductory programming course showed that 75 out of 300 errors selected at random were punctuation errors. (a) Find a 90% confidence interval for the proportion of errors made by beginning programming students that are punctuation errors. Show work.

Problem 3: Please answer parts a, b, and c! A sample of 136 hypertensive people were given an anti-hypertensive drug, and the drug was found to be effective in 49 of those people. (By effective, we mean that their diastolic blood pressure is lowered by at least 10 mm Hg as judged from a repeat measurement taken 1 month after taking the drug.) (a) Find a 90% confidence interval for the true proportion of the sampled population for which the drug is effective. (b) Using the results from the above mentioned survey, how many people should be sampled to estimate the true proportion of hypertensive people for which the drug is effective to within 4% with 96% confidence? (c) If no previous estimate of the sample proportion is available, how large of a sample should be used in (b)?
Problem 1 Data were collected on the amount spent by 64 customers for lunch at a major Houston restaurant. There data are contained in the file Houston. Based upon past studies the population standard deviation is known to be ??=$6. You are to estimate the average amount spent by a customer at the restaurant. d) Report the 99% confidence interval for the mean. e) Describe the change in the width of the confidence interval as confidence interval increases from 95% to 99%.

Problem 12. Rock band The Rolling Stones have played scores of concerts in the last twenty years. For 30 randomly selected Rolling Stones concerts, the mean gross earnings is 2.37 million dollars. Part a) Assuming a population standard deviation gross earnings of 0.54 million dollars, obtain a 99% confidence interval for the mean gross earnings of all Rolling Stones concerts (in millions). Confidence interval: ( Part b) Which of the following is the correct interpretation for your answer in part (a)? A. There is a 99% chance that the mean gross earnings of all Rolling Stones concerts lies in the interval B. If we repeat the study many times, 99% of the calculated confidence intervals will contain the mean gross earning of all Rolling Stones concerts. C. We can be 99% confident that the mean gross earnings for this sample of 30 Rolling Stones concerts lies in the interval D. None of the above
Example 8.18 There are two candidates in a presidential election: Candidate A and Candidate B. Let O be the portion of people who plan to vote for Candidate A. Our goal is to find a confidence interval for 0. Specifically, we choose a random sample (with replacement) of n voters and ask them if they plan to vote for Candidate A. Our goal is to estimate the 0 such that the margin of error is 3 percentage points. Assume a 95% confidence level. That is, we would like to choose n such that P(X - 0.03 0.95, where X is the portion of people in our random sample that say they plan to vote for Candidate A. How large does n need to be?
Question 2: At her job, Jackie has been working at her job for a few years now and feels like she, as well as everybody else in her department, is well overdue for a raise. Instead of collecting signatures of her colleagues in support of a pay raise, her boss sends out a poll to all employees in all departments to get a feel for what the others think. Assuming Jackie's boss wants only a 5% margin of error and a 99% confidence interval, what sample size is needed? Even though nobody that works there is not missing half of their body, it is okay if the sample size needed includes a decimal.
DA1 Problem 3: Construct a 95% confidence interval estimating the difference between means for both problem 1 and problem 2 and interpret each confidence interval. Comparing the two confidence intervals, what do you notice? This problem is one of four problems in the data analysis assignment. It cannot be answered without the answers to Problems one and two. I am not able to upload a CSV/Excel file, it doesn't allow me to do so. I have included screenshots of the Data Needed to solve Problems one and two, which are needed to solve Problem three. I also included a screenshot of problems one and two to make sure you're able to answer those as well. I only want assistance with Problem 3. Please don't reject my request, I have given all the data necessary to help with answering the question.
PROBLEM:A research study was conducted to examine the differences between older and younger adults on perceived life satisfaction. A pilot study was conducted to examine this hypothesis. Ten older adults (over the age of 70) and ten younger adults (between 20 and 30) were give a life satisfaction test (known to have high reliability and validity). Scores on the measure range from 0 to 60 with high scores indicative of high life satisfaction; low scores indicative of low life satisfaction. The data are presented below. Compute the appropriate t-test. older Adults Younger Adults INSTRUCTIONS: 1. State the null 45 34 and alternative hypotheses. 2. State the level of 38 22 52 15 significance and 48 27 critical value. 3. Calculate the 25 37 ttest. 39 41 4. Interpret the result. 51 24 5.

Question four A poll was conducted in a very small community in country X to see if residents are for or against a new policy that requires them to wear a mask. A total of 500 persons were surveyed. Of the 500 surveyed 200 are against wearing a mask. Compute a 90% confidence interval for the true percent of residents who are against the new policy and interpret the confidence interval.
