- Don't do 14. Please solve 19arrow_forward8.4.7 Use the data from Exercise 8.4.5 to compute the two-sided Agresti-Coull CI on the proportion of digits read correctly. Compare and discuss the relationship of this interval to the one computed in Exercise 8.4.5.arrow_forward8.6.5 Consider the fuel rod enrichment data described in Exercise 8.2.11. Compute a 90% prediction interval on the enrichment of the next rod tested. Compare the length of the prediction interval with the length of the 99% CI on the population mean.arrow_forward
- 8.4.4 The Arizona Department of Transportation wishes to survey state residents to determine what proportion of the population would like to increase statewide highway speed limits from 65 mph to 75 mph. How many residents does the department need to survey if it wants to be at least 99% confident that the sample proportion is within 0.05 of the true proportion? 8.4.5 The U.S. Postal Service (USPS) has used optical character recognition (OCR) since the mid-1960s. In 1983, USPS began deploying the technology to major post offices throughout the country (www.britannica.com). Suppose that in a random sample of 500 handwritten zip code digits, 466 were read correctly. a. Construct a 95% confidence interval for the true proportion of correct digits that can be automatically read. b. What sample size is needed to reduce the margin of error to 1%? c. How would the answer to part (b) change if you had to assume that the machine read only one-half of the digits correctly?arrow_forwardAnswer questions 8S7 and 8S14arrow_forwardAnswer questions 8.2.9 and 8.2.10 respectivelyarrow_forward

Compute a 90% prediction interval on the next specimen of concrete tested. 8.6.5 . SS Consider the fuel rod enrichment data described in Exercise 8.2.11. Compute a 90% prediction interval on the enrichment of the next rod tested. Compare the length of the prediction interval with the length of the 99% CI on the population mean.arrow_forwardAnswer questions 8S10 and 8S11 respectively.arrow_forward
- 8.4.6 Information on a packet of seeds claims that 93% of them will germinate. Of the 200 seeds that were planted, only 180 germinated. a. Find a 95% confidence interval for the true proportion of seeds that germinate based on this sample. b. Does this seem to provide evidence that the claim is wrong? 8.6.1 Consider the tire-testing data described in Exercise 8.2.3. Compute a 95% prediction interval on the life of the next tire of this type tested under conditions that are similar to those employed in the original test. Compare the length of the prediction interval with the length of the 95% CI on the population mean.arrow_forwardPlease solve 14 and 15arrow_forward1. Consider the following system of equations: x13x2 + 4x3 - 5x4 = 7 -2x13x2 + x3 - 6x4 = 7 x16x213x3 - 21x4 = 28 a) Solve the system. Write your solution in parametric and vector form. b) What is a geometric description of the solution. 7 c) Is v = 7 in the span of the set S= [28. 1 HE 3 -5 3 ·6 ? If it is, write v 6 as a linear combination of the vectors in S. Justify. d) How many solutions are there to the associated homogeneous system for the system above? Justify. e) Let A be the coefficient matrix from the system above. Find the set of all solutions to Ax = 0. f) Is there a solution to Ax=b for all b in R³? Justify.arrow_forward
