To study poverty in the city of Halifax, researchers will randomly select 30 blocks from the city, then randomly select 10 households from each of those blocks to be interviewed, producing a total of 300 interviews. Based on the interviews, the families will be classified as living below poverty line or not. Refer to the computer output below and answer the following related questions.
i. (1 Mark) Based on the result of this study, how many families out of the 300 met the criterion for living below the poverty line?
ii. (2 Marks) What is the estimated standard error? Interpret this value in the context of this study.
iii. (2 Marks) What is the estimated margin of error? Interpret this value in the context of this problem.
iv. (2 Marks) What is the 95% confidence interval for the
true proportion of families who do not live below the poverty
line?
v. (3 Marks) Is there evidence to suggest that the true percentage of families living below the poverty line differ from 15%? Give a justification to your answer.
vi. (2 Marks) What is wrong with the approach (e.g., sampling method) used here?
vii. (2 Marks) Do you think that you have over or underestimated the true SE of the sample proportion? Explain your answer.

1. A random sample of n measurements was selected from a population with standard deviation σ=13.6 and unknown mean μ. Calculate a 90 % confidence interval for μ for each of the following situations: (a) n=45, x¯¯¯=89.8 ≤μ≤ (b) n=70, x¯¯¯=89.8 ≤μ≤ (c) n=100, x¯¯¯=89.8 ≤μ≤ (d) In general, we can say that for the same confidence level, increasing the sample size the margin of error (width) of the confidence interval. (Enter: ''DECREASES'', ''DOES NOT CHANGE'' or ''INCREASES'', without the...

26) A study in transportation safety collected data on 42 North American cities. From each city, two of the variables recorded were X = percentage of licensed drivers who are under 21 years of age, and Y = the number of fatal accidents per year per 1000 licenses.

According to a study of Lehman college students, the mean income of a student is 50,000 dollars a year. You think this information is incorrect. You randomly select 20 students and choose the find that the average income for their surgeries is $35,250. The population standard deviation is known to be 6000 dollars and the population is normally distributed. Suppose that the researcher is using an Alpha of .05. Please answer the questions below. (Total points: 10 What is the...

1. A research study randomly assigned participants into two groups. One group was given Vitamin E to take daily. The other group received only a placebo pill. The research study followed the participants for eight years. After the eight years, the proportion of each group that developed a particular type of cancer was compared. What is the primary reason that the study used random assignment? a. To ensure that the groups are similar in all respects except for the level...

Two researchers conducted a study in which two groups of students were asked to answer 42 trivia questions from a board game. The students in group 1 were asked to spend 5 minutes thinking about what it would mean to be a professor, while the students in group 2 were asked to think about soccer hooligans. These pretest thoughts are a form of priming. The 200 students in group 1 had a mean score of 24 with a standard deviation...
