Suppose that 2,000 different random samples of size 100 are taken from a large population, and we are interested in estimating the population parameter 0. For each sample, the appropriate sample statistics are calculated, and a 95% confidence interval for 0 is obtained for each sample. Which of the following is true? A. Approximately 1,900 of the confidence intervals will contain 0. B. Approximately 100 of the confidence intervals will contain 0. O C. There is a 95% chance that each of the 2000 confidence intervals will contain 0. D. Approximately 1,950 of the confidence intervals will contain 0. E. Approximately 50 of the confidence intervals will contain 0. Reset Selection Save Dus Next

QUESTION 16 In 2005, Health Canada claimed that 16.6% of Canadian adults are obese. A researcher wanted to check whether this percentage has increased in 2009. He randomly selected 160 Canadian adults and found 30 of them are obese. He wants to develop a 92% confidence interval for the obese percentage in 2009. Write down the critical value
From a random sample of 185 children from school G, 108 indicated they wanted to study science in college. From a different random sample of 165 children from school H, 92 indicated they wanted to study science in college. Assuming all conditions for inference are met, which of the following is closest to the standard error for a confidence interval for the difference in population proportions between the two schools of children who want to study science in college?
You are trying to estimate the population mean p after taking a random sample from that population. Which of the following best represents a Margin of Error of about +/- 5% around the sample mean X? In other words, which best represents "95% confidence interval" around the observed mean, X? (In this notation, +/- stands for "plus or minus"; SD stands for "standard deviation"; and SE stands for "standard error.") p=X +- 2(SE) H= 2(SE) +/- X p =X+- 2(SD)
You are interested in constructing a 90% confidence interval for the proportion of all caterpillars that eventually become butterflies. Of the 424 randomly selected caterpillars observed, 50 lived to become butterflies. a. With 90% confidence the proportion of all caterpillars that lived to become a butterfly is between and . b. If many groups of 424 randomly selected caterpillars were observed, then a different confidence interval would be produced from each group. About percent of these confidence intervals will contain the true population proportion of caterpillars that become butterflies and about percent will not contain the true population proportion.
One company recently conducted a survey in which 420 women and 420 men were asked "Are you satisfied with the work of the Minister of Health?". Of these, 155 men and 118 women said they were satisfied with the minister's work. Assume that the experimental design was correct. Questions 1 and 2 cover this survey. 1. Find the upper limit of 95% confidence interval for the difference in the proportion of men and women who are happy with the work of the Minister (let men be group 1). 1. 0.03. 2. 0.09. 3. 0.15. 4. It is not possible to apply a normal approach and therefore we can not calculate the confidence interval. 2. What is the rejection area if it is to be examined whether the proportion of men and women who are satisfied with the job of Prime Minister is different (use a = 0.05)? 1. RejectHO efz 1.96. 2. Reject HO if z> 1.64. 3. RejectHO efz> -1.96 or <1.96. 4. Insufficient information provided to answer this.

Suppose a researcher takes a random sample of 1,000 students from a university and creates a 95% confidence interval for the true proportion of left handed students at the university. Which of the following is true about this interval when compared with a 95% confidence interval based on a random sample of 600 students from the same university? a. The interval based on a sample of 600 students will be wider than the interval based on a sample of 1,000 students. b. The lower and upper endpoints of the 95% CI based on 600 students will both be larger than the corresponding lower and upper endpoints of the 95% CI based on 1,000 students. c. 95% CIs based in samples of 1,000 students are more likely to include the true population proportion than 95% CIs based on samples of 600 students. d. The interval based on a 1,000 students will be wider than the interval based on 600 students. 2. If the researchers above wished to decrease the width of the mean confidence interval for the mean age…
Suppose a new treatment for a certain disease is given to a sample of 190 patients. The treatment was successful for 152 of the patients. Assume that these patients are representative of the population of individuals who have this disease. Calculate a 98% confidence interval for the proportion successfully treated.
