Answer to Problem 16.11CYS

The correct option is, “(c) z*=3.291 ”.

Explanation of Solution

Reason for the correct answer:

For 99.9% confidence level,

1C2=10.9992=0.0012=0.0005

Software procedure:

Step-by-step procedure to obtain critical value using the MINITAB software:

  • Choose Graph > Probability Distribution Plot and choose View Probability > OK.
  • From Distribution, choose ‘Normal’ distribution.
  • Click the Shaded Area tab.
  • Choose P Value and Two Tail for the region of the curve to shade.
  • Enter the data value as 0.0005.
  • Click OK.

Output using the MINITAB software is given below:

Thus, the critical value is a 3.291.

The correct option is, “(c) z*=3.291 ”.

Reason for the incorrect answers:

Since, the critical value for the 99.9% confidence level is z*=3.291 ; the other options, “(a) z*=1.960 ” and “(c) z*=2.576 ”are incorrect.

Conclusion:

Thus, the critical value is z*=3.291 .

Statistics Concept Introduction

Introduction:

Critical value:

The critical value is the area between z*andz* under the standard normal curve, that is, the confidence level C. The number of standard deviations on both sides of the mean is obtained from the standard normal table by using the central area C under standard normal curve.

You have been hired as an intern to run analyses on the data and report the results back to Sarah; the five questions that Sarah needs you to address are given below. please do it step by step   Does there appear to be a positive or negative relationship between price and screen size? Use a scatter plot to examine the relationship. Determine and interpret the correlation coefficient between the two variables. In your interpretation, discuss the direction of the relationship (positive, negative, or zero relationship). Also discuss the strength of the relationship. Estimate the relationship between screen size and price using a simple linear regression model and interpret the estimated coefficients. (In your interpretation, tell the dollar amount by which price will change for each unit of increase in screen size). Include the manufacturer dummy variable (Samsung=1, 0 otherwise) and estimate the relationship between screen size, price and manufacturer dummy as a multiple linear…
