Standard Error is a measure of how much the point estimate changes from sample to sample. The proportion of heads from flipping five coins has a relatively large standard error (SE = .2236), and it is not uncommon to see point estimates from 0% to 100%. The proportion of heads from flipping 1000 coins has a relatively small standard error (SE = .0158), and points estimates will rarely fall outside 45% to 55% heads P(1 – p) For proportions, the formula is SE = where n is the sample size and p = p, the sample proportion (point estimate). Compute the standard error, given a) point estimate = 0.61, null value = 0.7, and n = 120. The standard error = b) point estimate = 0.42, null value = 0.5, and n = 50. The standard error =

we want to obtain a sample to estimate a population mean. Based on previous evidence, researchers believe the population standard deviation is approximately 38.7. We would like to be 99% confident that the estimate is within 4 of the true population mean. How large of a sample size is required ?
A simple random sample of 10 UE students were taken to estimate the mean (μ) weekly allowance of all UE students. The data are: 500 550 600 1000 675 450 500 650 800 825 1. Construct a 95% C.I. on μ and interpret. 2. Construct a 99% C.I. on μ and interpret.
(3-B is needed to answer it I am only asking for question 4.) 3) You go out and collect the following estimates of earthworms / acre:54,276 57,378 51,108 66,190 66,232 59,018 57,159These data yield the following: ̄y = 59,765.86, and s = 5,689.606a) Construct a 90% CI for these data.b) Construct a 99% CI for these data.c) Darwin once estimated that an acre of soil had about 50,000 worms in it. Is his estimateconsistent with the data above? (Historical note: His estimate was considered way too high inhis day). 4) Consider the results of 3(b). Notice that all the data fit within the 99% confidence interval. Is thisusually the case (in other words, will a 99% CI contain most of the observations)?Caution: a lot of people get this wrong! Here's a hint: suppose you had measured the worms in6000 acres (instead of just 7). What happens to the confidence interval? If you're not sure,substitute 6,000 for 7 in your calculation for (b) to see what happens.
The next five questions refer to the following scenario: • sample mean T = 10 • sample size n = 100 • population standard deviation O = 4
In this problem, assume that the distribution of differences is approximately normal. Note: For degrees of freedom d.f. not in the Student's t-table, use the closest d.f. that is smaller. In some situations, this choice of d.f. may increase the P-value by a small amount and therefore produce a slightly more "conservative" answer. In environmental studies, sex ratios are of great importance. Wolf society, packs, and ecology have been studied extensively at different locations in the U.S. and foreign countries. Sex ratios for eight study sites in northern Europe are shown below.

(Round your answer to three decimal places.)
Suppose an interval estimate for the population mean was 62.84 to 69.46. The population standard deviation was assumed to be 6.50, and a sample of 100 observations was used. The mean of the sample was:

Suppose that we want to estimate what proportion of gift items purchased at a department store are returned for a refund, and that we want to be "at least 95% sure" that the error of our estimate will be less than 0.05.
