Two random samples are taken independently of one another and 90% confidence are calculated for each. If 10 is actually the true population mean, what is the probability that neither interval contains 10?
Solution:
First we understand the meaning of 90% confidence interval.
The meaning of 90% confidence interval : 90% confidence interval means that there is 90% probability that the true population parameter will lie in the interval and 10% probability that the true population parameter will not lie in the interval
Now , in given example , two different and independent intervals are constructed using 90% level.
For each , P(Interval contains the true parameter) is 90% i.e. 0.90
P(Interval do not contains the true parameter) is 10% i.e. 0.10
Since two events are independent ,
P( neither interval contains 10 )
= P(neither Interval contains the true parameter)
= 0.10 * 0.10
= 0.01

100 random samples were taken, and for each random sample we made a 95% confidence interval, about how many of those 100 confidence intervals would actually contain the parameter? Increasing the confidence level (more than one) a increase the width of a confidence interval b increase the probability that the parameter is in the confidence interval c increase the percentage of samples which will create a confidence interval that contains the parameter d Increase the margin of error A...
A 90% confidence interval means that with a large number of repeated random samples, 90% of such calculated confidence intervals would include the true value of the parameter. true or false?
A statistician constructed a confidence interval for the mean μ of a population and the result was the interval (25,30). Which of the following statements is/are true? There is a 0.9 probability μ is between 25 and 30. If 100 random samples of the same size are picked and a 90% confidence interval is calculated from each one, then μ will be in 90 of those 100 confidence intervals. If 90% confidence intervals are calculated from all possible samples of...
For a chi-square test of a contingency table, the expected frequency for each cell is calculated assuming the two qualitative variables are independent of one another. True False Question 14 1 pts We draw a random sample of size 25 from a normal population with variance 2.2. If the sample mean is 18.5, what is a 90% lower limit confidence interval for the population mean?
Construct a 90% confidence interval for a ratio of population variances. Assume that the random samples have been taken from normal distributions. n1 = 21 X = 23 S1 = 3.6 n2 = 28 X2 = 27 S1 = 3.3 <
suppose that a random sample of 10 students in grade six was taken and the confidence interval corresponding to their mean height (in inches) was found. the confidence interval was calculated to be (63.1, 65.3) with a known population standard deviation of 2.6 inches. what is the confidence level (as percentage) corresponding to this confidence interval ?
What is meant by the term “90% confident” when constructing a confidence interval for a proportion? A. If we took repeated samples, approximately 90% of the confidence intervals calculated from those samples would contain the sample proportion. B. If we took repeated samples, approximately 90% of the samples would produce the same confidence interval. C. If we took repeated samples, the sample proportion would equal the population mean in approximately 90% of the samples. D. If we took repeated samples,...

Another employee has collected a random sample of data from one of your processes and calculated two Confidence Intervals which are: (172.52, 196.48) and (174.45, 194.55). (a) What is the value of the sample mean? (b) One of these intervals is a 90% CI and the other is a 95% CI. Which one is the 95% Cl and why? Another employee has collected a random sample of data from one of your processes and calculated two Confidence Intervals which are:...
The information below is based on independent random samples taken from two normally distributed populations having equal variances. Based on the sample information, determine the 90% confidence interval estimate for the difference between the two population means. n1 = 17 x1 44 n2 13 x2 = 49 The 90% confidence interval is s(uI-12) (Round to two decimal places as needed.) «D
