year and 55% of those who make $40,000 or more per year said the government shutdown has pet per
affected them personally. A 95% confidence interval for (p40K), where p is the proportion of t1 au
who said the government shutdown has not at all affected them personally, is (-0.16, 0.02). Based on thi
information, determine if the following statements are true or false, and explain your reasoning if you jdentic
the statement as false.24
(a) At the 5% significance level, the data provide convincing evidence of a real difference in the proDortion
who are not affected personally between Americans who make less than $40,000 annually and Americane
who make $40,000 annually.
(b) We are 95% confident that 16% more to 2% fewer Americans who make less than $40,000 per vear are
not at all personally affected by the government shutdown compared to those who make $40,000 or more
per year.
(c) A 90% confidence interval for (p40K) would be wider than the (-0.16,0.02) interval.
(d) A 95%…
Import the data from the Hill City Excel file into Minitab.You are trying to predict Price.Note: Mtn View=1 if there is a mountain view, 0 otherwise. The rest of the variables should be self explanatory.
1.Perform an F Test for overall significance of the model
2.Perform a T test for slope for the age variable
3. Find a 95% confidence interval for the slope of the SqFeet variable4. Create a prediction, CI, and PI for 1 new set of x values (any valid numbers you want), and interpret each.5. Run the residual plots and indicate if they show any problems with the model.
For each scenario below, decide if it would be appropriate to use (1) Critical z-values or (2) Critical t-values to find the confidence interval.
A certain test preparation course is designed to help students improve their scores on the LSAT exam. A mock exam is given at the beginning and end of the course to determine the effectiveness of the course. The following measurements are the net change in 5 students' scores on the exam after completing the course:
13, 19, 22, 15, 29
Using these data, construct a 90% confidence interval for the average net change in a student's score after completing the course. Assume the population is approximately normal.
A manager records the repair cost for 6 randomly selected TVs. A sample mean of $67.87 and standard deviation of $28.03 are subsequently computed. Determine the 95% confidence interval for the mean repair cost for the TVs. Assume the population is approximately normal.
