Chapter 10.4, Problem 2BSC
Prediction Interval Using the heights and weights described in Exercise 1, a height of 180 cm is used to find that the predicted weight is 88.0 kg, and the 95% prediction interval is displayed by Minitab as (50.7, 123.0). Write a statement that interprets that prediction interval. What is the major advantage of using a prediction interval instead of simply using the predicted weight of 88.0 kg? Why is the terminology of prediction interval used instead of confidence interval?

You want to determine if the proportion of people who will vote for the president next year has
increased due to current events. You take a simple random sample of 1100 individuals and find
that 897 of them said that they will be voting in the election. Construct a 95% confidence
interval, by hand (mean using the equations in the section). Show your work. And then write
the conclusion to the confidence interval (follow the examples in the modules) in a complete
sentence.
Exercise 2:
It was found that 302 out of 745 people said they would like to retire in a farm if they are given
the chance. Estimate the true proportion of people who would like to retire in a farm with
94% confidence.

- STATE: Lyme disease is spread in the northeastern United States by infected ticks. The ticks are infected mainly by feeding on mice, so more mice result in more infected ticks. The mouse population rises and falls with the abundance of acorns, their favored food. Experimenters studied two similar forest areas in a year when the acorn crop failed. They added hundreds of thousands of acorns to one area to imitate an abundant acorn crop, while leaving the other area untouched. The next spring, 54 of the 72 mice trapped in the first area were in breeding condition, versus 10 of the 17 mice trapped in the second area. Estimate the difference between the proportions of mice ready to breed in good acorn years and bad acorn years. (Use 90% confidence. Be sure to justify your choice of confidence interval.) Clive G.
