11.99 Of the quantities p1,p2,x1,x2,p^1,p^2, and p^p.
a. which represent parameters and which represent statistics?
b. which are fixed numbers and which are variables?

Short Answer

Expert verified

(a) The parameters are p1and p2and statistics are x1,x2,p^1,p^2,and p^p.

(b) The fixed numbers are p1and p2, and variables are x1,x2,p^1,p^2,and p^p.

Step by step solution

01

Part (a) Step 1: Given information

To find that which represent parameters and which represent statistics.

02

Part (a) Step 2: Explanation

Let, the quantities are p1,p2,x1,x2,p^1,p^2, and p^P.
p1and p2are parameters in the sense that they are population proportions.
The statistics x1,x2,p^1,p^2,and p^Pare the other quantities.
Asa result, the parameters are p1and p2and statistics are x1,x2,p^1,p^2,and p^P.

03

Part (b) Step 1: Given information

To find that which are fixed numbers and which are variables.

04

Part (b) Step 2: Explanation

Let, the quantities are p1,p2,x1,x2,p^1,p^2, and p^p.
Since, p1and p2are fixed number.

The other variables x1,x2,p^1,p^2, and p^Pare variable as the sample proportions.

Then p^1,p^2,and p^Pdependent on the sample size and, x1and x2 variables.
As a result, the fixed numbers are p1and p2, and variables are x1,x2,p^1,p^2,and p^p.

Ballistic Fingerprinting. Guns make unique markings on bullets they fire and their shell casings. These markings are called holistic fingerprints. An ABCNEWS Podl examined the opinions of Americans on the enactment of a law "...that would require every gun sold in the United States to be test-fired first, so law enforcement would have its fingerprint in case it were ever used in a crime."

level, do the data provide sufficient evidence to conclude that women tend to favor ballistic fingerprinting more than men'?

Racial Crossover. In the paper "The Racial Crossover in Comorbidity, Disability, and Mortality" (Demography, Vol. 37(3), pp. 267-283), N. Johnson investigated the health of independent random samples of white and African-American elderly (aged 70 years or older). Of the 4989 white elderly surveyed, 529 had at least one stroke, whereas 103 of the 906 African-American elderly surveyed - Lported at least one stroke. At the 5%significance level, do the data suggest that there is a difference in stroke incidence between white and African-American elderly?

Drinking Habits. In a nationwide survey, conducted by Pulse Opinion Research, LLC for Rasmussen Reports, 1000 American adults were asked, among other things, whether they drink alcoholic beverages at least once a week; 38% said "yes." Determine and interpret a 95% confidence interval for the proportion, p, of all American adults who drink alcoholic beverages at least once a week.

Christmas Presents. The Arizona Republic conducted a telephone poll of 758Arizona adults who celebrate Christmas. The question asked was, "In your family, do you open presents on Christmas Eve or Christmas Day?" Of those surveyed, 394said they wait until Christmas Day.

a. Determine and interpret the sample proportion.

b. At the 5%significance level, do the data provide sufficient evidence to conclude that a majority (more than 50%) of Arizona families who celebrate Christmas wait until Christmas Day to open their presents?

a. Determine the sample proportion.

b. Decide whether using the one-proportion z-test is appropriate.

c. If appropriate, use the one-proportion z-test to perform the specified hypothesis test.
