PT. “ABC” in 2018 offers a new portfolio for investment. For this new product, companies need to know the ability of investors to face risk. For this purpose, samples were taken from two groups, namely the old and young groups, each of which was taken as many as 160 old and young investors. The survey results showed that as many as 90 older people and 70 young people agreed to accept greater risk. Make a confidence interval for the difference in the proportion of the ability to face the risk.
The number of cell phones per 100 residents in countries in Europe is given in table #9.3.9 for the year 2010. The number of cell phones per 100 residents in countries of the Americas is given in table #9.3.10 also for the year 2010 ("Population reference bureau," 2013). Find the 98% confidence interval for the different in mean number of cell phones per 100 residents in Europe and the Americas. (Show all work)

Ten car drivers were asked to parallel park 2 cars having very different wheel bases and turning radii. The time in seconds for each driver was recorded. The 90% confidence interval for the mean differences is [-2, 5]. This implies that, at the 90% level of confidence, the data do not support the claim that the two cars have different mean parking times.

- Let X, .,X, be iid from Normal(0,0) population (0>0). Use the pivotal quantity to find (1-a) Confidence Interval for 0.arrow_forwardFor a 90% confidence interval, a = 10% = .10 and a/2 = .05 so Z«, = Z.05 which is the z-score leaving .05 in each tail. I could find this scanning my z-table 'backwords' looking for the z-score that has an area of .45000 between 0 and Z. My table doesn't give this to me directly, but I can see that this z-score would be between 1.64 and 1.65. I could also find this z-score using my t-table. Here if I want the area in the tail to be, .05, the area to the left of my mark is .95 (this causes errors for some as they are making a 90% confidence interval, but using the column labeled .95). Looking at the bottom line of the t-table (for df = 0) and the column for .95, we find Z 05 = 1. 645. The third way we can get Z 05 is to go to 'distr' on our calculator to find InvNorm(.05) = -1.645. This tells us that -1.645 is the z-score that leaves an area of .05 in the left tail. By symmetry we know that 1.645 will leave .05 in the right tail.arrow_forwardSuppose we are interested in learning about the difference in job placement among graduates from NC State's undergraduate programs. We wish to calculate a confidence interval for the difference in proportions pi – p2, where P = the proportion of alumni (at least two years removed from graduation) from NC State's College of Engineering which %3D are currently working in a job that they are satisfied with p2 = the proportion of alumni (at least two years removed from graduation) from NC State's College of Sciences which are currently working in a job that they are satisfied with Taking all assumptions for granted, if you were to calculate a 95% confidence interval, what would be the critical value from the relevant bell-shaped distribution used in your calculation?

- Bilirubin is a yellowish substance in your blood that forms after red blood cells break down and it travels through your liver, gallbladder, and digestive tract before being excreted. Elevated levels may indicate liver damage as your liver isn’t clearing bilirubin properly. A researcher is interested in estimating the mean Bilirubin level for a population of patients with liver disease along with its 90% confidence interval. The researcher collected data from a sample of 24 patients and found the average Bilirubin level is 86.08 with standard deviation 106. However, due to the skewness in the data, a natural logarithm of the data was performed to satisfy normality assumption required for calculating the confidence interval. The resulted 90% confidence interval for the mean Bilirubin level under the natural log transformation is (3.69,4.3). Which one of the following options best helps the researcher in making inference about the true population mean Bilirubin level? a. Based…arrow_forwardA student received 40 points out of 50 in midterm 1. The mean score of the class in midterm 1 was 30 and standard deviation was 5 points. In midterm 2 the student received 80 out of 100. The mean score of the class in midterm 2 was 70 and standard deviation was 10 points. Standardize the midterm 1 and 2 exam score and identify if the student ‘improved’, ‘remained same’ or ‘score went down’ from midterm 1 to midterm 2.arrow_forwardhe trade magazine QSR routinely checks the drive-through service times of fast-food restaurants.

Write the lower value of the interval in 2 decimal places."arrow_forwardA certain counselor wants to compare mean IQ scores for two different social groups. A random sample of 15 IQ scores from group 1 showed a mean of 117 and a standard deviation of 17 , while an independently chosen random sample of 9 IQ scores from group 2 showed a mean of 112 and a standard deviation of 15 . Assuming that the populations of IQ scores are normally distributed for each of the groups and that the variances of these populations are equal, construct a 90% confidence intervalfor the difference −μ1μ2 between the mean μ1 of IQ scores of group 1 and the mean μ2 of IQ scores of group 2 . Then find the lower limit and upper limit of the 90% confidence interval. Carry your intermediate computations to at least three decimal places. Round your responses to at least two decimal places.
