To state which inference procedure you would use in the following question.
(a)
Answer to Problem 100E
Paired t test for the
Explanation of Solution
The researchers wants to study about if there is a convincing evidence of the difference in the average number of cars passing through two different intersection.
When we are using a hypothesis test or confidence interval for the proportion we use z test/interval and when we are using a hypothesis test or confidence interval for the mean we use t test/ interval.
Thus, we have given two samples while we are interested in determining if there is a convincing evidence of the difference in the average number of cars passing through two different intersection.Since we want a test to be conducted. And the two samples are dependent and then we should use a Paired t test for the mean difference.
(b)
To state which inference procedure you would use in the following question.
(b)
Answer to Problem 100E
One-sample z test for a proportionis used.
Explanation of Solution
Researchers wants to study about are more than
When we are using a hypothesis test or confidence interval for the proportion we use z test/interval and when we are using a hypothesis test or confidence interval for the mean we use t test/ interval.
Thus, we have given one samples while we are interested in determining if the claim that more than
(c)
To state which inference procedure you would use in the following question.
(c)
Answer to Problem 100E
Two-sample z interval for the difference in proportionsis used.
Explanation of Solution
The researcher wants to are male college students are more likely to binge drinks than female college students.
When we are using a hypothesis test or confidence interval for the proportion we use z test/interval and when we are using a hypothesis test or confidence interval for the mean we use t test/ interval.
Thus, we are given two samples while we are interested in the claim that male college students are more likely to binge drinks than female college students. Since two samples contain different subjects and they both are independent then we will use Two-sample z interval for the difference in proportions.
(d)
To state which inference procedure you would use in the following question.
(d)
Answer to Problem 100E
Paired t interval for the difference in meansis used.
Explanation of Solution
A bank wants to find out which of the two incentive plans would more increase the use of credit cards and by how much.
When we are using a hypothesis test or confidence interval for the proportion we use z test/interval and when we are using a hypothesis test or confidence interval for the mean we use t test/ interval.
Thus, we are given two samples while we are interested in determining the difference in the mean amount charged. Since the two samples contain same subjects and they are dependent then we should use Pairedtinterval for the difference in means.

You will use a single test car, adding weights so that its total weight is 3000, 3500, or 4000 pounds. The car will drive on a test track at each weight using each of Amoco, Marathon, and Speedway gasoline. Which is the best way to organize the study? Start with 3000 pounds and Amoco and run the car on the test track. Then do 3500 and 4000 pounds. Change to Marathon and go through the three weights in order. Then change to Speedway and do the three weights in order once more. Start with 3000 pounds and Amoco and run the car on the test track. Then change to Marathon and then to Speedway without changing the weight. Then add weights to get 3500 pounds and go through the three gasolines in the same order.Then change to 4000 pounds and do the three gasolines in order again. Choose a gasoline at random, and run the car with this gasoline at…arrow_forwardAP1.2 A child is 40 inches tall, which places her at the 90th percentile of all children of similar age. The heights for children of this age form an approximately Normal distribution with a mean of 38 inches.

- AP1.1 You look at real estate ads for houses in Sarasota, Florida. Many houses range from $200,000 to $400,000 in price. The few houses on the water, however, have prices up to $15 million. Which of the following statements best describes the distribution of home prices in Sarasota? The distribution is most likely skewed to the left, and the mean is greater than the median. The distribution is most likely skewed to the left, and the mean is less than the median. The distribution is roughly symmetric with a few high outliers, and the mean is approximately equal to the median. The distribution is most likely skewed to the right, and the mean is greater than the median. The distribution is most likely skewed to the right, and the mean is less than the median.arrow_forwardDuring busy political seasons, many opinion polls are conducted.
