(a)
To state which inference procedure you would use in the following question.
(a)
Answer to Problem 99E
One-sample z interval is used.
Explanation of Solution
The researchers wants to study about the drowning in the bath tub of the children and they conducted the study over parents and asked many questions. They wants to estimate the percentage of all children who uses the baby bath tub.
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
Now, we have been given one sample while we are interested in estimating the proportion that said they used baby bathtubs for infants. So we will use One-sample z interval for proportion.
(b)
To state which inference procedure you would use in the following question.
(b)
Answer to Problem 99E
Paired t test for the mean difference is used.
Explanation of Solution
Researchers wants to study about how seriously do people view speeding vehicle in comparison with other annoying behavior.
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 the claim that the speeding drivers get a higher average rating than the noisy neighbors. Since two samples contain the same subjects thus they are relatable. So, we will use Paired t test for the mean difference.
(c)
To state which inference procedure you would use in the following question.
(c)
Answer to Problem 99E
Two- samplez interval for the difference in proportions is used.
Explanation of Solution
The researcher wants to estimate the difference in the percents of students from rural background among dropouts and graduates.
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 estimating the difference in percents for the students from rural backgrounds among the dropouts and graduates. 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 99E
Two-sample t test for the difference in means is used.
Explanation of Solution
We have to find out do the experienced computer gamers get higher scores when they play with someone present to cheer them on or when they play alone.
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 if the claim that experienced computer game players earned higher scores when they play with someone present to cheer them on or when they play alone. Since the two samples contain different subjects and they are independent then we should use Two-sample t test 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.
