Answer to Problem 8CR

Solution:

The 90% confidence interval for the difference of two means is 0.2027<(p1p2)<0.1823.

Explanation of Solution

Calculation:

Let p1 be the population probability of success of first experiment and p2 be the proportion probability of success of second experiment.

Let n1=30,r1=16,n2=46,r2=25

p^1=r1n1=1630p^10.5333q^1=1p^1q^1=10.5333q^1=0.4667p^2=r2n2=2546p^20.5435q^2=1p^2q^2=10.5435q^2=0.4565

n1p^1=16,n1q^1=14,n2p^2=25,n2q^2=21

Since all n1p^1,n1q^1,n2p^2,n2q^2 are greater than 5, hence we can use the normal distribution to the approximate the p^1p^2 distribution.

The critical z-value for a two-tailed area of 0.10 is 1.645.

The difference of two proportions is

(p^1 - p^2)=0.53330.5435(p^1 - p^2)=0.0102

Now, the margin of error is computed as follows:

E=zcp1(1p1)n1+p2(1p2)n2E=1.6450.5333(10.5333)30+0.5435(10.5435)46E=0.19247E0.1925

Now the confidence interval for the difference of two means;

(p^1 - p^2)E<(p1p2)<(p^1 - p^2)+E0.01020.1925<(p1p2)<0.0102+0.19250.2027<(p1p2)<0.1823

The 90% confidence interval for the difference of two proportions is 0.2027<(p1p2)<0.1823.

To determine

To explain: The meaning of confidence interval in the context of the problem.

Explanation of Solution

Since the 90% confidence interval - 0.2027 to 0.1823 contains both positive and negative value, hence we cannot say that p1p20 or p1p2. Thus, at the 90% confidence level, we cannot conclude that there is difference in the proportion of accurate responses from face to face interview compared with telephone interview.

Answer to Problem 8CR

Solution: The level of significance is 0.05. H0:p1=p2 and H1:p1p2.

Explanation of Solution

The level of significance, α=0.05.

The null hypothesis for testing is defined as,

H0:p1=p2

The alternative hypothesis is defined as,

H1:p1p2

Answer to Problem 8CR

Solution: The normal distribution is used in this study. Thetest statistic for the sample is z = - 0.09.

Explanation of Solution

Calculation:

We have n1=30,r1=16,n2=46,r2=25

n1p^1=16,n1q^1=14,n2p^2=25,n2q^2=21

Since all n1p^1,n1q^1,n2p^2,n2q^2 are greater than 5, hence we can use the normal distribution to the approximate the p^1p^2 distribution.

The pooled estimates for p¯ andq¯ are:

p¯ =r1+r2n1+n2=16+2530+46p¯ =0.5395q¯=1p¯q¯=10.5395q¯=0.4605

The difference of two proportions is

(p^1 - p^2)=0.53330.5435(p^1 - p^2)=0.0102

The sample test statistic z is given as:-

z=p^1 - p^2p¯q¯n1+p¯q¯n2z=0.0102(0.5395)(0.4605)30+(0.5395)(0.4605)46z=0.0872z0.09

Answer to Problem 8CR

Solution: The P-value of sample statistic is 0.9362.

Explanation of Solution

Graph:

The given hypothesis test is two tailed.

Pvalue =P(z<0.09)+P(z>0.09)Pvalue =2P(z<0.09)

By using table 4 from Appendix

Pvalue =2(0.4681)Pvalue =0.9362

Graph:

To draw the required graphs using the Minitab, follow the below instructions:

Step 1: Go to the Minitab software.

Step 2: Go to Graph > Probability distribution plot > View probability.

Step 3: Select ‘Normal’, enter Mean = 0 and standard deviation =1.

Step 4: Click on the Shaded area > X value.

Step 5: Enter X-value as -0.09 and select ‘Two tail’.

Step 6: Click on OK.

The obtained distribution graph is:

(iv)

To determine

Whether we reject or fail to reject the null hypothesis and whether the data is statistically significant for a level of significance of 0.05.

(iv)

Expert Solution

Answer to Problem 8CR

Solution: The P-value >α, hence we failed to reject H0. The data is not statistically significant for a level of significance of 0.05.

Explanation of Solution

The P-value (0.9362) is greater than the level of significance (α) of 0.05. Therefore we failed to reject the null hypothesis H0 i.e. the P-value is not statistically significant.

Answer to Problem 8CR

Solution: There is not enough evidence to conclude that there is difference in the proportion of accurate responses from face to face interview compared with telephone interview.

Explanation of Solution

The P-value (0.9362) is greater than the level of significance (α) of 0.05. Therefore we failed to reject the null hypothesis H0 i.e. the P-value is not statistically significant.

There is not enough evidence to conclude that there is difference in the proportion of accurate responses from face to face interview compared with telephone interview.
