Chapter 11.2, Problem 19PB
Severity of fever after flu shot The study mentioned in Example 5 also looked at the severity of fever (rated as mild, moderate or severe) for all subjects who developed one after receiving a flu shot. The following table shows counts for subjects randomized to the group that received the active ingredient of the flu shot and the placebo group that received a sugar injection.
- a. Researchers want to know whether the distribution of the severity of fever is the same in both groups. Formulate appropriate null and alternative hypotheses.
- b. The X2 value for these data equals 2.49. Based on the df for the chi-squared distribution, argue that this value is not extreme.
- c. The P-value for the chi-squared test equals 0.287. Write the conclusion of the test in context.

Suppose a random sample of 459 married couples found that 307 had two or more personality preferences in common. In another random sample of 471 married couples, it was found that only 31 had no preferences in common. Let p1 be the population proportion of all married couples who have two or more personality preferences in common. Let p2 be the population proportion of all married couples who have no personality preferences in common. Find a95% confidence interval for . Round your answer to three decimal places.
A history teacher interviewed a random sample of 80 students about their preferences in learning activities outside of school and whether they are considering watching a historical movie at the cinema. 69 answered that they would like to go to the cinema. Let p represent the proportion of students who want to watch a historical movie. Determine the maximal margin of error. Use α = 0.05. Round your answer to three decimal places.

The CLT provides an approximate sampling distribution for the arithmetic average Ỹ of a random sample Y₁, . . ., Yn f(y). The parameters of the approximate sampling distribution depend on the mean and variance of the underlying random variables (i.e., the population mean and variance). The approximation can be written to emphasize this, using the expec- tation and variance of one of the random variables in the sample instead of the parameters μ, 02: YNEY, · (1 (EY,, varyi n For the following population distributions f, write the approximate distribution of the sample mean.
