The average daily volume of a computer stock in 2011 was u= 35.1 million shares, according to a reliable source. A stock analyst believes that the stock volume in 2014 is different fromhe 2011 level. Based on a random sample of 40 trading days in 2014, he finds the sample mean to be 29.9 million shares, with a standard deviation of s 11.6 million shares. Test the hypotheses by constructing a 95% confidence interval. Complete parts (a) through (c) below. (a) State the hypotheses for the test. 35.1 million shares H 35.1 million shares

Complete parts a and b. a. Find a 90% confidence interval for the proportion of all social robots designed with legs, but no wheels. Interpret the result.
A clinical trial tests a method designed to increase the probability of conceiving a girl. In the study 360 babies were born, and 324 of them were girls. Use the sample data to construct a 99% confidence interval estimate of the percentage of girls born. Based on the result, does the method appear to be effective?
Question 2 - (Please answer both a and b) A recent survey showed that from a sample of 500 packages delivered by a Postal Service, 480 were delivered on time. a) Construct a 95% confidence interval for the proportion of all packages that are delivered on time by the Postal Service. b) The manager of the Postal Services claims that 98 percent of their mail are delivered on time.

Stanford University conducted a study of whether running is healthy for men and women over age 50. During the first eight years of the study, 1.5% of the 451 members of the 50-plus Fitness Association died. We are interested in the proportion of people over 5o who ran and died in the same eight-year period. Construct a 95% confidence interval for the population proportion of people over 50 who ran and died in the same eight-year period. Explain in a complete sentence what the confidence interval means
Data collected by a behavioral risk factor surveillance group revealed that in a state, 27.9% of whites and 47.9% of blacks were cigarette smokers. Suppose these proportions were based on samples of 3584 whites and 486 blacks. a) Create a 95% confidence interval for this difference. b) Does this survey indicate a race-based difference in smoking among American adults? Explain, using your confidence interval to test an appropriate hypothesis. c) What alpha level did your test use? a) Let p, be the sample proportion of whites who were cigarette smokers and p, be the sample proportion of blacks who were cigarette smokers. Create a 95% confidence interval for the difference between the two proportions, p, -P2- (Round to three decimal places as needed. Use ascending order.) b) State the hypotheses for the test. Ho HA (Type integers or decimals. Do not round.) State the conclusion. Since the interval V 0. the null hypothesis. This study O V evidence of a race-based difference in smoking…
A professor sampled 46 students from a large university to obtain a 95% confidence interval for the proportion of students in favor of raising ASB fees. The interval was (0.356, 0.397). If the professor had used a 90% confidence interval instead, the confidence interval would have been ... A) Wider and would have a smaller chance of missing the true proportion. B) Narrower and would have a larger chance of missing the true proportion. C) Narrower and would have a smaller chance of missing the true proportion. D) Wider and would have a larger chance of missing the true proportion.
An October 2011 CBS News Poll on illegal immigrants interviewed 1012 randomly selected American adults. Of those in the sample, 688 said that they “oppose allowing the children of illegal immigrants to attend state college at the lower tuition rate of state residents.” Although the samples in national polls are not SRSs, they are similar enough that our method gives approximately correct confidence intervals. Find the 99% confidence interval for the proportion of adults who “oppose allowing the children of illegal immigrants to attend state college at the lower tuition rate of state residents.” Interpret the confidence interval in a clear sentence. Find the 95% confidence interval. Is the 95% confidence interval longer or shorter than the 99% confidence interval? Find the margin of error for each confidence interval. (Hint: you do have enough information from the calculator output! Margin of error = (width of interval)/2.) Margin of error for 99% confidence…
