Chapter 7: Q5 (page 339)

In Exercises 5鈥�8, use the given information to find the number of degrees of freedom, the critical values X2 L and X2R, and the confidence interval estimate of 蟽. The samples are from Appendix B and it is reasonable to assume that a simple random sample has been selected from a population with a normal distribution.

Nicotine in Menthol Cigarettes 95% confidence;n= 25,s= 0.24 mg.

Short Answer

Expert verified

The degrees of freedom is 24.

The critical values are 蠂L2=12.401 and 蠂R2=39.364.

The 95% confidence interval estimate of is 0.19mg<蟽<0.33mg.

Step by step solution

01

Given information

The size of the sample is n=25.

The sample standard deviation is s=0.24.

The level of confidence is 95%.

02

Compute the degrees of freedom, critical values and confidence interval estimate of σ

The degrees of freedom (df) is computed as,

df=n-1=25-1=24

Using the Chi-square table, the critical values are 蠂L2=12.401and 蠂R2=39.364.

The 95% confidence interval estimate of is computed as,

role="math" localid="1648052944759" n-1s2蠂R2<蟽<n-1s2蠂L225-10.24239.364<蟽<25-10.24212.4010.19<蟽<0.33

Therefore, the 95% confidence interval estimate of role="math" localid="1648052981275" 蟽isrole="math" localid="1648052969717" 0.19mg<蟽<0.33mg.

Confidence Intervals. In Exercises 9鈥�24, construct the confidence interval estimate of the mean.

Student Evaluations Listed below are student evaluation ratings of courses, where a rating of 5 is for 鈥渆xcellent.鈥� The ratings were obtained at the University of Texas at Austin. (See Data Set 17 鈥淐ourse Evaluations鈥� in Appendix B.) Use a 90% confidence level. What does the confidence interval tell us about the population of college students in Texas?

3.8 3.0 4.0 4.8 3.0 4.2 3.5 4.7 4.4 4.2 4.3 3.8 3.3 4.0 3.8

Genes Samples of DNA are collected, and the four DNA bases of A, G, C, and T are codedas 1, 2, 3, and 4, respectively. The results are listed below. Construct a 95% confidence intervalestimate of the mean. What is the practical use of the confidence interval?

Normality Requirement What does it mean when we say that the confidence interval methodsof this section are robust against departures from normality?

In Exercises 5鈥�8, use the relatively small number of given bootstrap samples to construct the confidence interval. Freshman 15: Here is a sample of amounts of weight change (kg) of college students in their freshman year (from Data Set 6 鈥淔reshman 15鈥� in Appendix B): 11, 3, 0, -2, where -2 represents a loss of 2 kg and positive values represent weight gained. Here are ten bootstrap samples: {11, 11, 11, 0}, {11, -2, 0, 11}, {11, -2, 3, 0}, {3, -2, 0, 11}, {0, 0, 0, 3}, {3, -2, 3, -2}, {11, 3, -2, 0}, { -2, 3, -2, 3}, { -2, 0, -2, 3}, {3, 11, 11, 11}. a. Using only the ten given bootstrap samples, construct an 80% confidence interval estimate of the mean weight change for the population. b. Using only the ten given bootstrap samples, construct an 80% confidence interval estimate of the standard deviation of the weight changes for the population.

Sample Size for Proportion Find the sample size required to estimate the percentage of college students who take a statistics course. Assume that we want 95% confidence that the proportion from the sample is within four percentage points of the true population percentage.
