In Exercises 9鈥16, assume that each sample is a simple

random sample obtained from a population with a normal distribution.

Body Temperature Data Set 3 鈥淏ody Temperatures鈥 in Appendix B includes a sample of106 body temperatures having a mean of 98.20掳F and a standard deviation of 0.62掳F (for day 2at 12 AM). Construct a 95%confidence interval estimate of the standard deviation of the bodytemperatures for the entire population.

Short Answer

Expert verified

The 95% confidence interval estimate of the standard deviation of the body temperatures for the entire population is0.55Fo<<0.72Fo.

Step by step solution

01

Given information

The sample number of body temperatures is n=106.

The mean body temperature is 98.20.

The sample standard deviation iss=0.62.

The level of confidence is 95%.

02

Compute the confidence interval estimate of  σ

The degrees of freedom is computed as,

df=n-1=106-1=105

The level of confidence is 95%, which implies that the level of significance is 0.05.

Using the Chi-square table, the critical values at 0.05 level of significance and at 105 degrees of freedom are localid="1648108100252" L2=78.5364andR2=135.247.

The 95% confidence interval estimate of the standard deviation of the body

temperatures for the entire population is computed as,

localid="1648108270737" n-1s2R2<<n-1s2L2106-10.622135.247<<106-10.62278.53640.55<<0.72

Therefore, the 95% confidence interval estimate of the standard deviation of the body temperatures for the entire population is 0.55Fo<<0.72Fo.

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.

Selection Before its clinical trials were discontinued, the Genetics & IVF Institute conducted a clinical trial of the XSORT method designed to increase the probability of conceiving a girl and, among the 945 babies born to parents using the XSORT method, there were 879 girls. The YSORT method was designed to increase the probability of conceiving a boy and, among the 291 babies born to parents using the YSORT method, there were 239 boys. Construct the two 95% confidence interval estimates of the percentages of success. Compare the results. What do you conclude?

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

Birth Weights of Girls Use these summary statistics given in Exercise 8:n=205,x=30.4hg,s=7.1hg. Use a 95% confidence level. Are the results very different from those found in Example 2 with only 15 sample values?

Finite Population Correction Factor If a simple random sample of size n is selected without replacement from a finite population of size N, and the sample size is more than 5% of the population size ,better results can be obtained by using the finite population correction factor, which involves multiplying the margin of error E by N-nN-1For the sample of 100 weights of M&M candies in Data Set 27 鈥淢&M Weights鈥 in Appendix B, we get x=0.8656gands=0.0518g First construct a 95% confidence interval estimate of , assuming that the population is large; then construct a 95% confidence interval estimate of the mean weight of M&Ms in the full bag from which the sample was taken. The full bag has 465 M&Ms. Compare the results.

In Exercises 1鈥3, refer to the accompanying screen display that results from the Verizon airport data speeds (Mbps) from Data Set 32 鈥淎irport Data Speeds鈥 in Appendix B. The confidence level of 95% was used

Airport Data Speeds Refer to the accompanying screen display.

a. Express the con铿乨ence interval in the format that uses the 鈥渓ess than鈥 symbol. Given that the original listed data use one decimal place, round the con铿乨ence interval limits accordingly.

b. Identify the best point estimate of and the margin of error.

c. In constructing the con铿乨ence interval estimate of , why is it not necessary to con铿乺m that the sample data appear to be from a population with a normal distribution?

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.Cell Phones and Cancer A study of 420,095 Danish cell phone users found that 0.0321% of them developed cancer of the brain or nervous system. Prior to this study of cell phone use, the rate of such cancer was found to be 0.0340% for those not using cell phones. The data are from the Journal of the National Cancer Institute.

a. Use the sample data to construct a 90% confidence interval estimate of the percentage of cell phone users who develop cancer of the brain or nervous system.

b. Do cell phone users appear to have a rate of cancer of the brain or nervous system that is different from the rate of such cancer among those not using cell phones? Why or why not?
