Formats of Confidence Intervals.

In Exercises 9鈥12, express the confidence interval using the indicated format. (The confidence intervals are based on the proportions of red, orange, yellow, and blue M&Ms in Data Set 27 鈥淢&M Weights鈥 in Appendix B.)

Red M&Ms Express 0.0434 < p < 0.217 in the form of\({\rm{\hat p \pm E}}\).

Short Answer

Expert verified

The confidence interval in the form of\(\hat p{\rm{ }} \pm {\rm{ }}E\)is\(0.130 \pm 0.087\)

Step by step solution

01

Given information

The confidence interval for p is\(0.0434 < p < 0.217\)

02

Find the value of sample proportion

Formula for sample proportion is:

\(\hat p = \frac{{{\rm{upper confidence limit}} + {\rm{lower confidence limit}}}}{2}\)

From the given confidence interval, thelower confidence limit is 0.0434 and the upper confidence limit is 0.217.

Substituting values,

\(\begin{aligned}{c}\hat p = \frac{{0.217 + 0.0434}}{2}\\ = 0.1302\end{aligned}\)

Hence, the sample proportion is 0.130.

03

Find the value of margin of error

Formula for margin of error is:

\(\begin{aligned}{c}E = \frac{{{\rm{upper confidence limit}} - {\rm{lower confidence limit}}}}{2}\\ = \frac{{0.217 - 0.0434}}{2}\\ = 0.0868\end{aligned}\)

Hence, the margin of error is 0.087.

04

Construct the confidence interval in the form of \({\rm{\hat p  \pm   E}}\)

The confidence interval in the form of\(\hat p \pm E\)is given as:

\(\begin{aligned}{c}\hat p - E < p < \hat p + E\\0.1302 - 0.0868 < p < 0.1302 + 0.0868\\0.0434 < p < 0.217\end{aligned}\)

Therefore, the confidence interval in the form of \(\hat p{\rm{ }} \pm {\rm{ }}E\)is\(0.1302 \pm 0.0868\).

Flight Arrivals Listed below are arrival delays (minutes) of randomly selected American Airlines flights from New York (JFK) to Los Angeles (LAX). Negative numbers correspond to flights that arrived before the scheduled arrival time. Use a 95% confidence interval. How good is the on-time performance?

Using Appendix B Data Sets. In Exercises 29 and 30, use the indicated data set in Appendix B. Green M&Ms Data Set 27 鈥淢&M Weights鈥 in Appendix B includes data from 100 M&M plain candies, and 19 of them are green. The Mars candy company claims that 16% of its M&M plain candies are green. Use the sample data to construct a 95% confidence interval estimate of the percentage of green M&Ms. What do you conclude about the claim of 16%?

Garlic for Reducing Cholesterol In a test of the effectiveness of garlic for lowering cholesterol, 49 subjects were treated with raw garlic. Cholesterol levels were measured before and after the treatment. The changes (before minus after) in their levels of LDL cholesterol(in mg/dL) had a mean of 0.4 and a standard deviation of 21.0 (based on data from 鈥淓ffect of Raw Garlic vs Commercial Garlic Supplements on Plasma Lipid Concentrations in Adults with Moderate Hypercholesterolemia,鈥 by Gardner et al.,Archives of Internal Medicine,Vol. 167).Construct a 98% confidence interval estimate of the standard deviation of the changes in LDL cholesterol after the garlic treatment. Does the result indicate whether the treatment is effective?
