In each of Exercises 11.25-11.30, we have given the number of successes and the sample size for a simple random sample from a population. In each case, do the following tasks.
a. Determine the sample proportion.
b. Decide whether using the one-proportion z-interval procedure is appropriate.
c. If appropriate, use the one-proportion z-interval procedure to find the confidence interval at the specified confidence level.
d. If appropriate, find the margin of error for the estimate of p and express the confidence interval in terms of the sample proportion and the margin of error:
11.30 x=3,n=100,99%level

Short Answer

Expert verified

(a) The sample proportion is 0.03.

(b) The one proportion z-interval is not appropriate.

(c) The confidence interval cannot be calculated. Because, z-interval is not appropriate.

(d) The margin of error cannot be calculated. Because, z-interval is not appropriate.

Step by step solution

01

Part (a) Step 1: Given information

To determine the sample proportion for x=3,n=100,99% level.

02

Part (a) Step 2: Explanation

Let, the sample size nis 100.

Then, the number of success xis 3.

Determine the Sample proportion by:
p^=xn
=3100
=0.03
As a result, the sample proportion is 0.03.

03

Part (b) Step 1: Given information

To decide whether using the one-proportion z-interval procedure is appropriate or not.

04

Part (b) Step 2: Explanation

The following are the assumptions for one proportion z-interval procedure:

np≥10and n(1-p)≥10

Examine the following conditions:
np=100(0.03)

=3<10

Also,

n(1-p)=100(1-0.03)

=97>10

One of the conditions is not satisfied in this case.

As a result, applying the one proportion z- interval is not appropriate.

05

Part (c) Step 1: Given information

To appropriate, use the one-proportion z-interval procedure to find the confidence interval at the specified confidence level.

06

Part (c) Step 2: Explanation

It is clear from part (b) that the one-proportion z-interval procedure is ineffective.
As a result, the confidence interval cannot be calculated.

07

Part (d) Step 1: Explanation

To appropriate, find the margin of error for the estimate of pand express the confidence interval in terms of the sample proportion and the margin of error:

08

Part (d) Step 2: Explanation

It is clear from part (b) that the one-proportion z interval procedure is ineffective.
As a result, the margin of error cannot be calculated.

Eating Out Vegetarian. Refer to the study on ordering vegetarian considered in Examples 11.8-11.10.

a. Obtain the margin of error for the estimate of the difference between the proportions of men and women who sometimes order veg by taking half the length of the confidence interval found in Example 11.10on page 473. Interpret your answer in words.

b. Obtain the margin of error for the estimate of the difference between the proportions of men and women who sometimes order veg by applying Exercise 11.132.

In this Exercise, we have given the number of successes and the sample size for a simple random sample from a population. In each case,

a. use the one-proportion plus-four z-interval procedure to find the required confidence interval.

b. compare your result with the corresponding confidence interval found in Exercises 11.25-11.30, if finding such a confidence interval was appropriate.

Why is statistical inference generally used to obtain information about a population proportion?

Vasectomies and Prostate Cancer. In the United States, approximately 450,000 vasectomies are performed each year. In this surgical procedure for contraception, the tube carrying sperm from the testicles is cut and tied. Several studies have been conducted to analyze the relationship between vasectomies and prostate cancer. The results of one such study by E. Giovannucci et al. appeared in the paper "A Retrospective Cohort Study of Vasectomy and Prostate Cancer in U.S. Men" (Journal of the American Medical Association. Vol. 269(7), Pp. 878-882), Of 21,300 men who had not had a vasectomy, 69 were found to have prostate cancer; of 22,000 men who had had a vasectomy, 113 were found to have prostate cancer.

a. At the 1% significance level, do the data provide sufficient evidence to conclude that men who have had a vasectomy are at greater risk of having prostate cancer? Consider men who had had a vasectomy Population 2.

b. Is this study a designed experiment or an observational study Explain your answer.

c. In view of your answers to parts (a) and (b), could you reasonably conclude that having a vasectomy causes an increased risk of prostate cancer? Explain your answer.

Prerequisites to this exercise are Exercises . Why do your graphs in parts (c) of those exercises illustrate the impact of increasing sample size on sampling error? Explain your answer.
