The Stevens Motor Company is developing high powered engines for use in its new sports coupe.The engineers have advertised that the maximum horsepower for the engine is 600HP. They sampled16 engines and found the average to be 620HP (o = 50).If the engineers sampled a larger number of engines, what would happen to the width of theconfidence interval?It would get wider: the upper and lower confidence limits would get farther apartIt would remain unchanged: the upper and lower confidence limits would not move or changeThe confidence interval would be less accurateIt would get narrower: the upper and lower confidence limits would get closer together

Now you are interested in the percent of dogs that were neutered in your sample. For 40 dogs, 30 of them were neutered. What is the LOWER limit for this confidence interval? The statistical value you will need is 1.96. Give your answer as 0.XX
suppose that you take 1000 simple random samples from a population and that, for each sample, you obtain a 95% confidence interval for an unknown parameter. Approximately how many of those confidence intervals will continue the value of the unknown parameter?
A magazine provided results from a poll of 1500 adults who were asked to identify their favorite pie. Among the 1500 respondents, 13% chose chocolate pie, and the margin of error was given as ±3 percentage points. Given specific sample data, which confidence interval is wider: the 99% confidence interval or the 80% confidence interval? Why is it wider?
A magazine provided results from a poll of 500 adults who were asked to identify their favorite pie. Among the 500 respondents, 14% chose chocolate pie, and the margin of error was given as ±3 percentage points. Given specific sample data, which confidence interval is wider: the 99% confidence interval or the 80% confidence interval? Why is it wider?
A retrospective study of 100 pairs of twins was performed. The twin pairs each had one male child and one female child. Their birth weights were studied to determine if the male twin was consistently heavier. The difference in weights was calculated by subtracting the female weight (in ounces) from the male weight (in ounces): d=xm−xfd=xm-xf After looking at 100 pairs of twins, the study finds the 95% confidence interval for the mean difference of weights (in ounces) is: 1.9 < μdμd < 6.7 Can we be reasonably sure that the male twins are heavier than the females? Yes No Why or why not?
Suppose that you wanted to know if the percentage of people who will attend a sporting event this year will decrease. Last year, 43% of Americans attended a sporting event. After taking a sample, you attain a sample percentage of 18% with a margin of error of 3%. Construct a confidence interval and use that interval to determine if the number of Americans who will attend a sporting event has decreased. Show your calculation for the interval and then state your conclusion in complete sentences.
Ellie and Alec are each attempting to estimate the proportion of coffee drinkers who consume more than one cup of coffee per day. They each obtain a random sample of coffee drinkers, and, in each sample, the proportion who drink more than one cup of coffee per day is 0.40. Ellie and Alec each use their sample data to construct a confidence interval. Ellie’s interval is from 0.286 to 0.514, and Alec’s interval is from 0.346 to 0.474. One of these intervals was computed correctly, but the other was not. Which interval must be incorrect? A. Ellie’s interval must be incorrect. B. Alec’s interval must be incorrect. C. It’s impossible to answer this question without knowing the level of confidence used for each interval. D. It’s impossible to answer this question without knowing the sample sizes. E. It’s impossible to answer this question without knowing the sample sizes or the level of confidence used for each interval.
A magazine provided results from a poll of 1000 adults who were asked to identify their favorite pie. Among the 1000 respondents, 14% chose chocolate pie, and the margin of error was given as ±4 percentage points. What values do p, q, n, E, and p represent? If the confidence level is 90%, what is the value of α?
