The police department is concerning about the number of parking spaces in the campus. The calculations show that the risk of shortage in parking spaces appears if proportion of students driving their own cars increase to 35%. They conducted a student survey and found that 93 out of 368 students drive their own car. Find 95% confidence interval for proportion of all Texas State students who are driving their own car. Is there statistical evidence of the risk of parking shortage?
a. What is the population parameter to estimate?
b. What is the sample statistic provided?
c. Find a 95% confidence interval for population parameter.
d. Interpret your interval in the context.
e. Is there statistical evidence of the risk of parking shortage?
Homework Answers
Solution-a:
population parameter to estimate=p=0.35
b. What is the sample statistic provided?
sample statistic,p^=x/n=93/368= 0.2527174
c. Find a 95% confidence interval for population parameter.
z crit for 95%=1.96
95% confidence interval for p is
p^-z*sqrt(p^*(1-p^)/n,p^+z*sqrt(p^*(1-p^)/n
0.2527174-1.96*sqrt(0.2527174*(1-0.2527174)/368),0.2527174+1.96*sqrt(0.2527174*(1-0.2527174)/368)
0.2083165, 0.2971183
d. Interpret your interval in the context.
we are 95% confident that the true population proportion of students driving their own cars lies oin between
0.2083165, 0.2971183

н Select one answer 10 points Parking survey: For a class assignment, a group of statistics students set up a table near the student parking lot. They asked students who passed by to complete a quick survey about whether they support the building of a multi- level parking structure that would add 425 new spaces at the college. They used the information from the survey to calculate the 95% confidence interval: (0,53, 0.72). To which population does the confidence interval...

Data concerning employment status were collected from a sample of 100 World Campus students at the beginning of the Fall 2018 semester. In that sample of 100, 67 were employed full-time. We want use these data to construct a 95% confidence interval to estimate the proportion of all World Campus students who are employed full-time. Is it appropriate to use the normal approximation method? Show all your work involved with checking these assumptions. Use Minitab Express to construct a 95%...

GMU officials are trying to determine if they are using the correct number of campus shuttles for the number of students who use them. If the proportion of students who use the shuttles is significantly different from 0.28, the officials believe they will have to either remove or add a shuttle to the fleet. In a random sample of 444 people taken from the population of all individuals associated with GMU (including faculty, staff, and students) it was discovered that...

In a recent survey of 114 WMU graduates, 52 students said that parking was too limited on campus. What is the estimate of the population proportion? What is the standard error of this estimate? Question 1 options: 1) Estimate of proportion: 0.456, Standard error: 0.0044. 2) Estimate of proportion: 0.456, Standard error: 0.0466. 3) Estimate of proportion: 0.544, Standard error: 0.0466. 4) The true population proportion is needed to calculate this. 5) Estimate of proportion: 0.544, Standard error: 0.0044.

A researcher wanted to study the effect of a newly developed gasoline additive (Additive X) on automobile mileage (miles per gallon, MPG). To gather information, a random sample of cars has been selected. For each car, the MPG was measured both when gasoline with Additive X is used and when gasoline without Additive X is used. The order of the two treatments (with Additive X versus without Additive X) was randomized and care was taken so that there was no...

You are curious about the average number of yards Matthew Stafford throws for each game for the Detroit Lions. You randomly select 23 games and see that the average yards per game is 344.5 with a standard deviation of 27.8 yards. You want to create a 95% confidence interval for the true average number of yards per game he throws. What is the margin of error for this estimate? Question 1 options: 1) 1.5833 2) 5.7967 3) 12.0216 4) 9.9538...

1. A hypothetical investigation on rider satisfaction with a particular public transit system serving commuting residents of British California (BC) and Prince Edward’s County (PEC) offers some interesting findings. The proportion of commuters from BC that indicated low satisfaction with the transit system’s service in the 2018 calendar year was 65 percent, and the proportion from PEC was 70 percent. These point estimates were based on samples of 5,380 BC commuters and 6,810 PEC commuters, whose system-using commuters number in...
