Interpreting CIWrite a brief statement that correctly interprets the confidence interval given in Exercise 1 鈥淐elebrities and the Law.鈥�

Short Answer

Expert verified

There is 95% confidence that the limits of 0.692 and 0.748 contain the true value of the proportion of adults in the population who say that the law goes easy on celebrities.

Step by step solution

01

Given information

The 95% confidence interval estimate of the proportion of adults who say that the law goes easy on celebrities is 0.692<p<0.748.

02

Interpret the confidence interval

The confidence interval can be used to determine the estimated range of lower and upper limits in which the actual parameter value will be likely to fall at the defined confidence level.

From the confidence interval, the following can be concluded:

You are 95% of the time confident that the actual value of the proportion of adults in the population who say that the law goes easy on celebrities will lie between the limits of 0.692 and 0.748.

Sample Size. In Exercises 29鈥�36, find the sample size required to estimate the population mean.

Mean Weight of Male Statistics Students Data Set 1 鈥淏ody Data鈥� in Appendix B includes weights of 153 randomly selected adult males, and those weights have a standard deviation of 17.65 kg. Because it is reasonable to assume that weights of male statistics students have less variation than weights of the population of adult males, let 蟽=17.65鈥�kg. How many male statistics students must be weighed in order to estimate the mean weight of all male statistics students? Assume that we want 90% confidence that the sample mean is within 1.5 kg of the population mean. Does it seem reasonable to assume that weights of male statistics students have less variation than weights of the population of adult males?

Critical Thinking. In Exercises 17鈥�28, use the data and confidence level to construct a

confidence interval estimate of p, then address the given question. Mendelian GeneticsOne of Mendel鈥檚 famous genetics experiments yielded 580 peas, with 428 of them green and 152 yellow.

a.Find a 99% confidence interval estimate of the percentageof green peas.

b.Based on his theory of genetics, Mendel expected that 75% of the offspring peas would be green. Given that the percentage of offspring green peas is not 75%, do the results contradict Mendel鈥檚 theory? Why or why not?

Insomnia Treatment A clinical trial was conducted to test the effectiveness of the drug zopiclone for treating insomnia in older subjects. Before treatment with zopiclone, 16 subjects had a mean wake time of 102.8 min. After treatment with zopiclone, the 16 subjects had a mean wake time of 98.9 min and a standard deviation of 42.3 min (based on data from 鈥淐ognitive Behavioral Therapy vs Zopiclone for Treatment of Chronic Primary Insomnia in Older Adults,鈥� by Sivertsen et al., Journal of the American Medical Association, Vol. 295, No. 24). Assume that the 16 sample values appear to be from a normally distributed population and construct a 98% confidence interval estimate of the mean wake time for a population with zopiclone treatments. What does the result suggest about the mean wake time of 102.8 min before the treatment? Does zopiclone appear to be effective?

Sample Size. In Exercises 29鈥�36, find the sample size required to estimate the population mean.

Mean Grade-Point Average Assume that all grade-point averages are to be standardized on a scale between 0 and 4. How many grade-point averages must be obtained so that the sample mean is within 0.01 of the population mean? Assume that a 95% confidence level is desired. If we use the range rule of thumb, we can estimate 蟽 to be,

蟽=range4=4-04=1

Does the sample size seem practical?

Using Correct Distribution. In Exercises 5鈥�8, assume that we want to construct a confidence interval. Do one of the following, as appropriate: (a) Find the critical valuet伪2, (b) find the critical value z伪2, or (c) state that neither the normal distribution nor the t distribution applies.
