The residents of Kitengela town complain that there is more traffic jam along Mombasa road than on Thika road and as such they take more minutes to reach Nairobi CBD than the residents of Thika town. Independent random samples of minutes taken to reach Nairobi CBD over the last three months were taken and presented as follows: Kitengela Thika 98 109 110 106 100 97 124 110 140 85 135 119 128 105 138 85 142 93 150 92 128 100 137 98 156 105 128 137 156 142 138 140 99 Assuming equal population variances, find a 99% confidence interval for the differences in mean of minutes taken to rich CBD by these two town residents.

From the U.S. Census Bureau’s American Community Survey in 2019 it was found that 33.13%of United States residents over the age of 25 had an educational attainment of a bachelor’sdegree or higher. In the District of Columbia, the percentage of residents over the age of 25 whohad attained a bachelor’s degree or higher was 59.67%. An investigator for the U.S. CensusBureau took a random sample of seven residents from the District of Columbia and asked themtheir highest educational degree they had obtained. a) Verify that the sample from the District of Columbia satisfies the conditions of thebinomial experiment. Write one sentence to check each requirement in context of theinvestigation.b) Assuming the sample from the District of Columbia is a binomial experiment, build theprobability distribution in a single table and include the table in your solutions. You maypresent this table horizontally or vertically and leave the probabilities unrounded. Thereare two possible ways to do this: To…
A researcher is interested in exploring the relationship between calcium intake and weight loss. Two different groups, each with 2626 dieters, are chosen for the study. Group A is required to follow a specific diet and exercise regimen, and also take a 500-mg supplement of calcium each day. Group B is required to follow the same diet and exercise regimen, but with no supplemental calcium. After six months on the program, the members of Group A had lost a mean of 10.4 pounds with a standard deviation of 2.6 pounds. The members of Group B had lost a mean of 11.7pounds with a standard deviation of 2.8 pounds during the same time period. Assume that the population variances are not the same. Construct a 99% confidence interval to estimate the true difference between the mean amounts of weight lost by dieters who supplement with calcium and those who do not. Let Population 1 be the amount of weight lost by Group A, who took a 500-mg supplement of calcium each day, and let Population 2 be…
When two births are randomly selected, the sample space for genders is bb, bg, gb, and gg. Assume that those four outcomes are equally likely. Construct a table that describes the sampling distribution of the sample proportion of girls from two births. Does the mean of the sample proportions equal the proportion of girls in two births? Does the result suggest that a sample proportion is an unbiased estimator of a 1 1 population proportion? For the entire population, assume the probability of having a boy is the probability of having a girl is, and this is not affected by how many boys or girls have previously been born. Determine the probabilities of each sample proportion. Sample proportion of girls ▼ ▼ ▼ Probability (Type integers or simplified fractions.)
An auditor for a local court system is tasked with comparing the rulings of two judges. The auditor needs to determine if Judge Hughes issues shorter sentences than Judge Wilson. The data below are the sentence lengths, in months, issued by each judge in their last twelve cases that dealt with operating a motor vehicle without a license. Test the claim that Judge Hughes issues shorter sentences than Judge Wilson for this particular type of case at the 0.10 level of significance. Let Judge Hughes' sentences be Population 1 and let Judge Wilson's sentences be Population 2. Assume that both populations are approximately normal and that the population variances are equal.

When an audit must be conducted that involves a tedious examination of a large inventory, the audit may be very costly and time consuming if each item in the inventory must be examined. In such situations, the auditor frequently obtains a random sample of items from the complete inventory and uses the results of an audit of the sampled items to check the validity of the company's financial statement. A large company’s financial statement claims an inventory that averages $600 per item. The following data are the auditor’s assessment of a random sample of 75 items from the company’s inventory. The values resulting from the audit are rounded to the nearest dollar. Estimate the mean value of an item in the inventory using a 95% confidence interval. Is there substantial evidence (a 5 .01) that the mean value of an item in the inventory is less than $600? What is the target population for the above inferences? Would normal distribution–based procedures be appropriate for answering the…
A J.D. Power and Associates vehicle quality survey asked new owners a variety of questions about their recently purchased automobile. One question asked for the owner's rating of the vehicle using categorical responses of average, outstanding, and exceptional. Another question asked for the owner's education level with the categorical responses some high school, high school graduate, some college, and college graduate. Assume the sample data below are for 500 owners who had recently purchased an automobile. Education Quality Rating Some HS HS Grad Some College College Grad Average 30 30 20 60 Outstanding 50 50 50 90 Exceptional 20 20 30 50 a. Use a 0.05 level of significance and a test of independence to determine if a new owner's vehicle quality rating is independent of the owner's education. Compute the value of the x test statistic (to 2 decimals). Use Table 3 of Appendix B to find the p-value. The p-value is - Select your answer - What is your conclusion? - Select your answer - v…

A national research group reported that 36% of 18-24 year olds watch a cable news channel regularly. The director of media relations at a large university wanted to know what proportion of students at her university who watch a cable news channel regularly. If it is less than 36%, then she will unsubscribe to the news channels. She sampled 200 random students and found that 63 watched cable news regularly. Should she conclude that proportion of students at her university who watch cable news regularly is less than 36% at the 8% significance level? In the context of this problem and your conclusion, what type of error is possible? In the context of this problem, what would the error be? In the context of this problem, what would be a possible consequence of this error?
