Ans:
7)
sample proportion=317/600=0.5283
99% confidence interval for p
=0.5283+/-2.58*sqrt(0.5283*(1-0.5283)/600)
=0.5283+/-0.0526
=(0.4758, 0.5809)
option e is correct.
8)
alpha=0.01
alpha/2=0.01/2=0.005
9)
alpha=0.01
critical z value(one tailed)=-2.33 or 2.33
option c is correct.
10)n=12
df=12-1=11
alpha=0.05
critical t value(one tailed)=-1.80 or 1.80
option d is correct.
11)option e is correct(except a)

This...
In a survey of 500 likely voters, 271 responded that they would vote for the incumbent and 229 responded that they would vote for the challenger. Let pp denote the fraction of all likely voters who preferred the incumbent at the time of the survey, and let p^p^ be the fraction of survey respondents who preferred the incumbent. a. Use the survey results to calculate p^p^. b. Test the hypothesis H0:p=0.5 vs. Ha:p≠0.5H0:p=0.5 vs. Ha:p≠0.5 at the 5% significance level....
The 2002 General Social Survey asked, "What do you think is the ideal number of children for a family to have?" The 484 females who responded had a mean of 2.97, and standard deviation of 1.77. The 95% confidence interval is (2.81, 3.13). (a) What is the sample statistic? (b) Find the standard error. (c) Using the confidence interval, what can you say about the true population mean? 1. We are confident that 95% of Americans think that the true...
In a survey of 500 likely voters, 271 responded that they would vote for the incumbent and 229 responded that they would vote for the challenger. Let pp denote the fraction of all likely voters who preferred the incumbent at the time of the survey, and let p^p^ be the fraction of survey respondents who preferred the incumbent. a. Construct a 95% confidence interval for pp. Keep in mind that you should calculate the standard error making no assumptions of...
Ten randomly selected people took an IQ test A, and next day they took a very similar IQ test B. Their scores are shown in the table below. Person A B C D E F G H I J Test A 104 98 89 117 107 120 80 109 94 85 Test B 102 99 88 117 111 119 83 107 95 88 1. Use a 0.05 significance level to test the claim that people do better on the second test...
1) The state of CT claims that the average time in prison is 15 years. A random survey of 75 inmates revealed that the average length of time in prison is 16.4 years with a standard deviation of 6.7 years. Conduct a hypothesis to test the state of CT's claim. What type of test should be run? t-test of a mean z-test of a proportion The alternative hypothesis indicates a right-tailed test left-tailed test two-tailed test Calculate the p-value. Keep...
Based on information from a previous study, r = 34 people out of a random sample of n = 101 adult Americans who did not attend college believe in extraterrestrials. However, out of a random sample of n2 = 101 adult Americans who did attend college, '2 = 47 claim that they believe in extraterrestrials. Does this indicate that the proportion of people who attended college and who believe in extraterrestrials is higher than the proportion who did not attend...
MULTIPLE CHOICE. Choose the one alternative that best completes the statement or answers the question. Provide an appropriate response. 1) Many people think that a national lobby's successful fight against gun control legislation is reflecting the will of a minority of Americans. A random sample of 4000 citizens yielded 2250 who are in favor of gun control legislation. Estimate the true proportion of all Americans who are in favor of gun control legislation using a 98% confidence interval. Express the...
