Thirty-seven percent of all Americans drink bottled water more than once a week (Natural resources Defense Council, December 4, 2015). Suppose you have been hired bythe Natural Resources Defence Council to investigate bottled water consumption in St. Paul. You plan to select a sample of St. Paulites to estimate the proportion who drinkbottled water more than once a week. Assume the population proportion of St. Paulites who drink bottled water more than once a week is 0.37, the same as the overallproportion of Americans who drink bottled water more than once a week. Use z-table.a. Suppose you select a sample of 540 St.Paulites. Show the sampling distribution of p (to 4 decimals).E(p)0.3700OF = 0.0208b. Based upon a sample of 540 St. Paulites, what is the probability that the sample proportion will be within 0.01 of the population proportion (to 4 decimals).probability =1.0000c. Suppose you select a sample of 200 St.Paulites. Show the sampling distribution of p (to 4 decimals).E(p)0.3700OF = 0.6083d. Based upon a smaller sample of only 200 St. Paulites, what is the probability that the sample proportion will be within 0.01 of the population proportion (to 4 decimals).probability = 0.0279e. As measured by the increase in probability, how much do you gain in precision by taking the larger sample in parts (a) and (b) rather than the smaller sample in parts (c)and (d)?Reduced by80Have gain in precision by increasing the sample. v

Researchers at Purdue University and Wichita State University found that airlines are doing a better job of getting passengers to their destinations on time.t AirTran Airways and Southwest Airlines were among the leaders in on-time arrivals with both having 88% of their flights arriving on time. But for the 12% of flights that were delayed, how many minutes were these flights late? Sample data showing the number of minutes that delayed flights were late are provided in the file named AirDelay. Data are shown for both airlines. Assume population variances are unknown and unequal.

Suppose an internet marketing company wants to determine the current percentage of customers who click on ads on their smartphones. How many customers should the company survey in order to be 90% confident that the estimated proportion is within five percentage points of the true population proportion of customers who click on ads on their smartphones?
According to an article in Newsweek, the natural ratio of girls to boys is 100:105 . In China, the birth ratio is 100:116 ( 46.3% girls). Suppose you don’t believe the reported figures of the percent of girls born in China. You conduct a study. In this study, you count the number of girls and boys born in 100 randomly chosen recent births. There are 42 girls and 58 boys born of the 100 . Based on your study, do you believe that the percent of girls born in China is 46.3 ? A.)What is the test statistic? Round your answer to three decimal places. (z / t ) = B.) What is the p -value? Round your answers to four decimal places. p -value = C.) Let α=0.05 . Decision: (Reject the null hypothesis / do not reject the null hypothesis) Reason for decision: ( a < p-value / a > p-value) Conclusion: There is (insufficient/ insufficient) evidence to conclude that the percentage of girls born in China is different from 46.3% .
In the Star and Tribune newspaper, there is an article entitled "1 in 8 school buses fail tests." The article says that the overall statewide proportion of school buses that fail safety tests is 9%. However, one bus company has a higher rate of over 12%. Assume that we want a new estimate for the statewide proportion of school buses that fail the safety inspection. We take a sample of 500 buses and find that 90 buses fail the safety inspection. Based on the new sample data, I construct this 90% confidence interval estimate for p: 152 < p < .208. Explain what this confidence interval means. O I am 90% sure that the number of buses that fail the inspection is between.152 and .208. O I am 95% sure that the true proportion of buses that fail the inspection is between .152 and .208. O I am 90% sure that the proportion of buses in this sample that fail the inspection is between .152 and .208. O I am 90% sure that the true proportion of buses that fail the inspection is between .152 and .208.

We take a sample of 200 buses and find that 20 buses fail the safety inspection. If we construct a 95% confidence interval estimate for the true proportion of all Minnesota school buses that fail the safety tests, what is the upper limit of the interval?

Hypertension is when an adult is classified as having high blood pressure (above 130 systolic blood pressure is considered hypertension). Researchers want to know the proportion of adult North Americans (above age of 18) that have hypertension. Based on a study of 3532 adult North Americans, 1219 of them were classified as having hypertension.
