Chapter 7: Q6 (page 340)

In Exercises 5鈥�8, use the given information to find the number of degrees of freedom, the critical values 蠂L2and蠂R2, 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.

Weights of Pennies 95% confidence;n= 37,s= 0.01648 g.

Short Answer

Expert verified

The degrees of freedom is 36.

The critical values are蠂L2=21.3359 and蠂R2=54.4373.

The 95% confidence interval estimate of 蟽is 0.013 g <蟽<0.021 g.

Step by step solution

01

Given information

The size of the sample is n=37.

The sample standard deviation is s=0.01648g.

The level of confidence is 95%.

02

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

The degrees of freedom is computed as,

df=n-1=37-1=36

Using the Chi-square table, the critical values are 蠂L2=21.3359and蠂R2=54.4373.

The 95% confidence interval estimate of 蟽is computed as,

n-1s2蠂R2<蟽<n-1s2蠂L237-10.01648254.4373<蟽<37-10.01648221.33590.013<蟽<0.021

Therefore, the 95% confidence interval estimate of role="math" localid="1648104834948" 蟽 isrole="math" localid="1648104851448" 0.013g<蟽<0.021g

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.

Chickenpox : You plan to conduct a survey to estimate the percentage of adults who have had chickenpox. Find the number of people who must be surveyed if you want to be 90% confident that the sample percentage is within two percentage points of the true percentage for the population of all adults.

a. Assume that nothing is known about the prevalence of chickenpox.

b. Assume that about 95% of adults have had chickenpox.

c. Does the added knowledge in part (b) have much of an effect on the sample size?

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.

BirthsA random sample of 860 births in New York State included 426 boys. Construct a 95% confidence interval estimate of the proportion of boys in all births. It is believed that among all births, the proportion of boys is 0.512. Do these sample results provide strong evidence against that belief?

Years in college Listed below are the numbers of years it took for a random sample of college students to earn bachelor鈥檚 degrees (based on the data from the National Center for Education Statistics). Construct a 95% confidence interval estimate of the mean time for all college students to earn bachelor鈥檚 degrees. Does it appear that college students typically earn bachelor鈥檚 degrees in four years? Is there anything about the data that would suggest that the confidence interval might not be good result?

In a study of speed dating conducted at Columbia University, female subjects were asked to rate the attractiveness of their male dates, and a sample of the results is listed below (1 = not attractive; 10 = extremely attractive). Use a 99% confidence level. Can the result be used to estimate the mean amount of attractiveness of the population of all adult males?
