Consider twenty independent random samples, used to compute twenty separate 90% confidence intervals for a parameter θ
(a) How many intervals would you expect to contain the true value of θ?
(b) What is the probability that at least 16 of the intervals contain the true θ?
Homework Answers
a) expected number of interval that contain the true value of θ =np=20*0.9 =18
b)P(X>=16)=
=0.9568

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...

Suppose that you take 800 simple random samples from a population and that, for each sample, you obtain a 99% confidence interval for an unknown parameter. Approximately how many of the confidence intervals will contain the value of the unknown parameter? Round to a whole number.
Billy’s Fizzy Flavours Inc. wants to estimate the average volume per can of Crazy 88 Cola with 90% confidence.
QUESTION 2. Billy’s Fizzy Flavours Inc. wants to estimate the average volume per can of Crazy 88 Cola
with 90% confidence.
(a) In practice, the soft drink producer does not know the population mean or population standard deviation
of the volume per can. However, for the purpose of this question we will assume the volume per can is
normally distributed with a mean of 353 mL and a standard deviation of 2 mL. Use this information and the
Excel procedure...

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,...

Q1. Building Confidence Intervals. The 90th percentile confidence interval for the number of active connections on a web server is given by the interval [15 ± 1.5]. This confidence interval was computed using 36 observations of the web server. Answer the following questions (stating any assumptions you make): (1) What is the standard deviation of the sample used to compute this confidence interval was? (2) What is the probability that the true mean of the number of active connections on...
