(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.

- 32. Consider a normally distributed population with mean μ = 80 and standard deviation σ = 14. a. Construct the centerline and the upper and lower control limits for the chart if samples of size 5 are used. b. Repeat the analysis with samples of size 10. 2080 101 c. Discuss the effect of the sample size on the control limits.arrow_forwardConsider the following hypothesis test. The following results are for two independent samples taken from the two populations. Sample 1 Sample 2 n 1 = 80 n 2 = 70 x 1 = 104 x 2 = 106 σ 1 = 8.4 σ 2 = 7.6 What is the value of the test statistic? If required enter negative values as negative numbers (to 2 decimals). What is the p-value (to 4 decimals)? Use z-table. With = .05, what is your hypothesis testing conclusion?arrow_forwardPeriodically, Merrill Lynch customers are asked to evaluate Merrill Lynch financial consultants and services (2000 Merrill Lynch Client Satisfaction Survey). Higher ratings on the client satisfaction survey indicate better service with 7 the maximum service rating. Independent samples of service ratings for two financial consultants are summarized here. Consultant A has 10 years of experience, whereas consultant B has 1 year of experience. Use = .05 and test to see whether the consultant with more experience has the higher population mean service rating. Consultant A Consultant B = 16 = 10 = 6.82 = 6.25 = .64 = .75 State the null and alternative hypotheses.H0: 1 - 2 Ha: 1 - 2 Compute the value of the test statistic (to 2 decimals).

Vons, a large supermarket in Grover Beach, California, is con- sidering extending its store hours from 7:00 am to midnight, seven days a week, to 6:00 am to midnight. Discuss the sam- pling bias in the following sampling strategies:arrow_forward3. Natalie Min is an undergraduate in the Haas School of Busi- ness at Berkeley. She wishes to pursue an MBA from Berkeley and wants to know the profile of other students who are likely to apply to the Berkeley MBA program. In particular, she wants to know the GPA of students with whom she might be compet- ing. She randomly surveys 40 students from her accounting class for the analysis. Discuss in detail whether or not Natalie's analysis is based on a representative sample.arrow_forward
- See data attached. SoftBus Company sells PC equipment and customized software to small companies to help them manage their day-to-day business activities. Although SoftBus spends time with all customers to understand their needs, the customers are eventually on their own to use the equipment and software intelligently. To understand its customers better, SoftBus recently sent questionnaires to a large number of prospective customers. Key personnel—those who would be using the software—were asked to fill out the questionnaire. SoftBus received 82 usable responses, as shown in the file. You can assume that these employees represent a random sample of all of SoftBus's prospective customers. SoftBus believes it can afford to spend much less time with customers who own PCs and score at least 4 on PC Knowledge. Let's call these the "PC-savvy" customers. On the other hand, SoftBus believes it will have to spend a lot of time with customers who do not own a PC and score 2 or less on PC…arrow_forwardSee data attached.
