Two researchers, Jaime and Mariya, are each constructing confidence intervals for the proportion of a population who is lef-handed. They find the point estimate is0.23. Each independently constructed a confidence interval based on the point estimate, but Jaime's interval has a lower bound of 0.220 and an upper bound of 0.234,while Mariya's interval has a lower bound of 0.169 and an upper bound of 0.272. Which interval is wrong? Why?28Choose the correct answer below.OA Jaime's interval is wrong because it does not include the point estimate.OB. Mariya's interval is wrong because it is too wide.OC. Mariya's interval is wrong because it is not centered on the point estimate,OD. Jaime's interval is wrong because it is to narrowO of 36

The point estimate is 0.23; p^=0.23 Jaime's interval=(0.226,0.234) Mariya's interval=(0.169,0.272)

Answered: Two researchers, Jaime and Mariya, are…

A researcher wanted to check whether the percentage of Canadian adults with obesity has decreased in 2009 compared to 2005. He used Health Canada data. He randomly selected 75 Canadian adults from 2005 data and found 12 of them are obese; In a random sample of 120 Canadian adults from 2009 data, he found 17 of them are obese. He wants to develop a 96% confidence interval for the change is obese percentage. Let population1 be 2005 data and population2 be 2009 data. Write down the critical value.
Suppose you are interested in the rate of autism among current school-aged children in Utah. You collect a sample of 400 children between the ages of 5 and 18 and find that two have had a previous diagnosis of an autism disorder. You plan to calculate a 95% confidence interval estimator of the proportion of school-aged children in Utah who have ever had a diagnosis of an autism disorder. Which of the following is the most likely reason you would use a Wilson estimator to calculate the confidence interval estimator? A confidence interval estimator based on the Wilson estimator does not use the normal distribution. It is possible that if even the actual proportion in Utah is 1%, your sample may only have very few children who have had a previous diagnosis of an autism disorder. It is an easier way to calculate the confidence interval estimator. It is uncomfortable to define having been diagnosed with autism as a success. Let p be the proportion of…
Leigh and Rebekah 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.

One of these intervals was computed correctly, but the other was not. Which interval must be incorrect? Leigh’s interval must be incorrect. Rebekah’s interval must be incorrect.

A sample of 23 plants was taken and the mean height was 27 cm. A 95% confidence interval for the true mean height of plants of that particular species is (23.2 cm, 30.8 cm). Four students gave the following interpretations of the confidence interval. Which of the following is correct? 1. We are 95% confident that the true mean height is 27 cm since that value lies in the confidence interval 2. We can be fairly confident that 95% of all plants of that species have a height between 23.2 cm and 30.8 cm. 3. The probability is 0.95 that the mean height lies in the interval (23.2 , 30.8). 4. We are 95% confident that the true mean height for all plants of that species will lie in the interval (23.2, 30.8)
A sociologist is comparing the proportion of teenage boys who receive a text message at least once an hour to the percentage of teenage girls who do. She has collected data from 150 men and 150 women. Which of the following is not a condition that the sociologist should check before creating a confidence interval for the difference in population proportions?
8% of a sample of 400 foster children say they have suffered some type of abuse from their foster parents. Construct the confidence interval for the population of foster children who have suffered some type of abuse. Use a 99% confidence level. answer the same way as in the problem before this one.
Suppose a 95% confidence interval was computed based on a sample of 320 trick-or-treaters. If the sample size were increased to 640, what impact would this have on the margin of error and width of the confidence interval? Both the margin of error and the width would increase Neither the margin of error nor the width would be affected. Both the margin of error and the width would decrease The margin of error would decrease and the width would increase. The margin of error would increase and the width would decrease
Matilda has constructed three confidence intervals, all from the same random sample. The confidence levels are 95%, 98%, 99.9%. The confidence intervals are 6.4<u<12.3, 5.1<u<13.6, and 6.8<u<11.8. Unfortunately, Matilda has forgotten which confidence interval goes with level. Match each confidence interval with its level. what confidence goes with each the confidence level and indicate whether these confidence intervals are for a population mean or for a population proportion, also include support with the results.
As part of the Pew Internet and American Life Project,, researchers conducted two surveys in late 2009. The first survey asked a random sample of 800 U.S. teens about their use of social media and the Internet. A second survey posed similar questions to a random sample of 2253 U.S. adults. In these two studies, 584 of the teens and 1059 of the adults said that they use social networking sites. Construct a 95% confidence interval for the difference in population proportions.
