Researchers at the National Cancer Institute released the results of a study that examined the effect of weed-killing herbicides on house pets. Dogs were examined for the presence of malignant lymphoma. The data gathered is as follows: Sample Size Number with Lymphoma p Group Home used weed-killer Home did not use weed-killer 827 473 0.572 130 19 0.146 Construct a 95% confidence interval for the difference of the true proportions of exposed dogs that develop lymphoma and unexposed dogs that develop lymphoma. a) Can we use our confidence interval in part a) to conclude that the true proportion of exposed dogs that develon lymphoma ie high

In an engineering class, students want to determine the difference in the mean strength between two different types of building materials—Type A, which is relatively inexpensive, and Type B, which is slightly more expensive. The students take a random sample of 60 of the Type A building material and a random sample of 27 of the Type B building material. Given the mean strength for each sample, the students construct a 95% confidence interval for the difference in population means. (a) Determine the degrees of freedom for the conservative approach for finding the t critical value. (b) Find the t critical value associated with 95% confidence. (Use a table or SALT. Round your answer to two decimal places.)
Glaucoma is the leading cause of blindness in the United States. N. Ehlers measured the corneal thickness of nine patients who had glaucoma in one eye but not in the other. The following are the data on corneal thickness, in microns. Normal 484 478 492 444 430 398 464 404 476 Glaucoma 488 478 480 426 440 410 458 395 460 Construct and interpret a 95% confidence interval for the true mean difference in the mean corneal thickness in normal eyes and eyes with glaucoma. Include a filled out formula for your confidence interval and use the steps for a test hypothesis.

A learn-to-type software program claims that it can improve your typing skills. To test the claim and possibly help yourself out, you and eight of your friends decide to try the program and see what happens. Use the table below to construct an 85%85% confidence interval for the true mean change in the typing speeds for people who have completed the typing program. Let Population 1 be the typing speed before taking the program and Population 2 be the typing speed after taking the program. Round the endpoints of the interval to one decimal place, if necessary.

A poll was conducted to investigate opinions about global warming. The respondents who answered yes when asked if there is solid evidence that the earth is getting warmer were then asked to select a cause of global warming. The results are given in the accompanying data table. Use a 0.01 significance level to test the claim that the sex of the respondent is independent of the choice for the cause of global warming.

A sports news station wanted to know whether people who live in the North or the South are bigger sports fans. For its study, 121 randomly selected Southerners were surveyed and found to watch a mean of 4.6 hours of sports per week. In the North, 176 randomly selected people were surveyed and found to watch a mean of 3.2 hours of sports per week. Find a 90% confidence interval for the true difference between the mean numbers of hours of sports watched per week for the two regions if the South has a population standard deviation of 1.6 hours per week and the North has a population standard deviation of 1.4 hours per week. Let Population 1 be people who live in the South and Population 2 be people who live in the North. Round the endpoints of the interval to one decimal place, if necessary.
