Question 1 Why can you never have 100% confidence in correctly estimating the population characteristic of interest? When are you able to use the t distribution to develop the confidence interval estimation for the mean? Why is it true that for a given sample size, n, an increase in confidence is acheived by widening (and making less precise) the confidence interval? Why is the sample size needed to determine the proportion smaller when the population proportion is 0.20 than when...
6) When ANOVA F-test suggests that the population means differ, we can examine confidence intervals estimating each population mean to try to determine which population means account for the difference. These are the same one-sample T- intervals we learned in Unit 9. The fictitious data from Study #2 give these 95% confidence intervals. Which population means appear to differ? Which might be the same? Table of confidence interval calculation 1 Grade Sample Mean Std. Err. DF L. Limit U. Limit...
It is desired to have a margin of error of 100 with 99% confidence. The population standard deviation is 500. What is the necessary sample size? To reduce the margin of error to 50 what would be the necessary sample size?
As you may recall from biostats we can never measure an entire population of interest, we only have sample data. This means that even if a population is at H-W equilibrium the genotype frequencies for a sample would almost never perfectly match the frequencies predicted from the allele frequencies. The X2 (chi-squared) statistical technique can be used to test observed deviations from expectation and determine whether the population is likely to be at H-W equilibrium or not. Consider the following...
Researchers are interested in estimating the prevalence of smoking in college campuses. . Suppose the population prevalence is 25% and the research team has enrolled 300 current college students in their study, a. can we approximate with the normal distribution in this hypothetical example? Why or why not? b. What is the mean number of smokers in this sample? State also its variance. c. What is the probability of observing at least 100 students in this sample to be smokers?...
A (1-alpha)*100% confidence interval for population mean Mu can also be used to test a hypothesis about Mu? 1. True 2. False
A large university is interested in the outcome of a course standardization process. They have taken a random sample of 100 student grades, across all instructors. The grades represent the proportion of problems answered correctly on a midterm exam. The sample proportion correct was calculated as 0.78.Construct a 90% confidence interval on the population proportion of correctly answered problems.Construct a 95% confidence interval on the population proportion of correctly answered problems.
A 95% confidence interval obtained from a sample of 100 outpatients for the true population mean normal mean systolic blood pressure is given by (114 mmHG, 120 mmHG). A) Find 99% Confidence Interval B) Can you tell how much would it be wider compare to 95% Confidence Interval? Mention all the steps for the both answers.
Using the five-component model, explain the difference between IT and IS. Explain why you can buy IT, but you can never buy IS. What does that mean to you, as a potential future business manager?
I really need help with my Confidence Intervals for the Mean homework, can someone please help? 1. You measure 34 dogs' weights, and find they have a mean weight of 52 ounces. Assume the population standard deviation is 10.2 ounces. Based on this, construct a 99% confidence interval for the true population mean dog weight. Give your answers as decimals, to two places ________________ ± ______________ ounces 2. Assume that a sample is used to estimate a population mean μμ....
