Textbook Question
Chapter 11, Problem 11SE
Gas Price Intervals Use the data from exercise 11.7 and find Bonferroni-corrected intervals for all three comparisons assuming an overall confidence level of 95%, that is, an individual confidence level of 98.33%. Then state whether the means are significantly different based on whether the intervals capture 0 or not. Compare your conclusions with the conclusions in exercise 11.7.

Premature-birth Risk Found Higher for Teens (reported in the Sacramento Bee, April 27, 1995, p. A7)
The youngest girls [in the study], those aged 13 to 17, were 90 percent more likely than the women
in their early 20's to deliver prematurely. "The relative risk was 1.9. But what is the absolute risk for
women in their 20's which is used as the baseline?
The 95% confidence interval for the population slope was calculated as (0.751,0.947). Based on the confidence interval, do the data provide convincing statistical evidence that foragers with a central home location move faster the farther they are from home? Justify your response.
construct a confidence interval for this data. You should construct a 95% confidence interval for this data. How you do this will depend on whether your data is summarized using a mean or proportions. If you have categorical data, you will have to pick one of the categories and focus on a confidence interval for the proportion for that category, and you only need to do one for that one category. Please show the parts of your equation (point estimate, Z or T, and standard error) in addition to your final result.

- A 95% confidence interval for μA -μg is given by (-2.3, 4.5). What can we infer from this confidence interval? (A) This confidence interval implies that the mean for sample A is less than the mean for sample B. (B) This confidence interval implies that the mean for sample A is equal to the mean for sample B. (C) With 95% confidence, there is convincing statistical evidence that the mean for population A is less than the mean for population B. (D) With 95% confidence, there is convincing statistical evidence that the mean for population A is greater than the mean for population B. (E) There is not convincing statistical evidence that the mean for population A is different from the mean for population B at the 5% significance level.arrow_forwardA researcher investigated whether the temperature of milk, x, can be used to predict the milk's pH content, y.

- Choose the correct option and proof the reason why you choose that one and give the evidences. A company called The Bear Necessities Business conducted a survey to gather customer feedback about a recent change they made. From the data collected, a 95% confidence interval was constructed to estimate the difference between the proportion of new customers who are positive about the change and the proportion of old customers who are positive about the change. The limits of this confidence interval are (-0.31, 0.49). Use this information to answer the following questions. The point estimate used for the confidence interval is a sample mean/sample porportion/different of two sample means/different of two sample proportion.
