Short Answer

Expert verified

Part (a)The sample proportions are 0.7and 0.4.

Part (b) The two-proportion z-procedure is applicable.

Part (c) The data give adequate evidence to reject the null hypothesis at a level of significance of 5%

Part (d) The specified confidence interval is 0.053to 0.547

Step by step solution

01

Part (a) Step 1: Given information

Given in the question that,

x1=14,n1=20,x2=8,n2=20;

right-tailed test, α=0.05;90%confidence interval

we need to determine the sample proportions.

02

Part(a) Step 2: Explanation

The given values are, x1=14,n1=20,x2=8,n2=20,α=0.05, and 90%confidence interval.

The formula for p~1is given by,

p~1=x1n1

Substitute x1=14,n1=20

role="math" localid="1651491983163" p~1=1420

role="math" localid="1651492005630" =0,7

The formula for p~2is given by,

p~2=x2n2

Substitute x2=8,n2=20

=820

=0.4

Therefore, the sample proportions are =0.4and 0.4.

03

Part (b) Step 1: Given information

Given in the question that,

x1=14,n1=20,x2=8,n2=20

right-tailed test, α=0.05;90%confidence interval

we need to decide that whether using the two-proportions z-procedures is appropriate. If so, also do parts (c) and (d).

04

Part(b) Step 2: Explanation

The given values are, x1=14,n1=20,x2=8,n2=20,α=0.05, and 90%confidence interval.

To begin, calculaten1-x1and n2-x2. After that, compare the outcome to 5.The two-proportion z-test technique is appropriate if it is more than or equal to 5.

The value of n1-x1is calculated as,

n1-x1=20-14

=16

The value of n2-x2is calculated as,

n2-x2=20-8

=12

The two-proportion z-Procedure technique is appropriate because the values are more than 5. As a result, the two-proportion z-procedure is applicable.

05

Part (c) Step 1: Given information

Given in the question that,

x1=14,n1=20,x2=8,n2=20;

right-tailed test, α=0.05;90%confidence interval

we need to use the two-proportions z-test to conduct the required hypothesis test.

06

Part (c) Step 2: Explanation

The given values are, x1=14,n1=20,x2=8,n2=20,α=0.05, and 90%confidence interval.

The formula for zis given by,

z=p~1-p~2p~p1-p~p1n1+1n2

The formula forp~pis given by,

p~p=x1+x2n1+n2

Substitute x1=14,n1=20,x2=8,n2=20

role="math" localid="1651493218114" p~p=14+820+20

=2240

0.55

07

Part (c) Step 3: Value of z

The value of zis calculated as,

z=p~1-p~2p~p1-p~p1n1+1n2

=0.7-0.40.55(1-0.55)120+120

=0.30.157

=1.907

Perform the test at 5%level of significance that is α=0.05from table-IV (at the bottom) the value of

zα=z0.05=1.645.

z>1.645is the rejected region. Since then, the test static has fallen into the reject zone. As a result, the hypothesis Hois rejected, and the test results at the 5%level are statistically significant.

As a result, the data give adequate evidence to reject the null hypothesis at a level of significance of .

08

Part (d) Step 1: Given information

Given in the question that,

x1=14,n1=20,x2=8,n2=20;

right-tailed test, α=0.05;90%confidence interval

we need to find the specified confidence interval by using the two-proportions z-interval procedure

09

Part (d) Step 2: Explanation

The given values are, x1=14,n1=20,x2=8,n2=20,α=0.05, and 90%confidence interval.

For confidence level of (1-α)the confidence interval for p1-p2are

p^1-p^2±z1/2×p^11-p^1/n1+p^21-p^2/n2

Calculate the value of α,

90=100(1-α)

α=0.1

The value of zat α/2from the z-score table is 1.645.

The required confidence interval for the difference between the two-population proportion is calculated as,

p~1-p~2±zα/2·p~11-p~1n1+2+p~21-p~2n2+2=(0.7-0.4)±1.645

.0.7(1-0.7)20+0.4(1-0.4)20

=0.3±0.247

=0.053 to 0.547

Therefore, the difference between the percentage of the adult-Americans is 0.053to 0.547.

Obtain a sample size

Margin of error =0.02

Confidence level =95%

Likely range 0.4-0.7

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'?

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

a. Without making a guess for the observed values of the sample proportions, find the common sample size that will ensure a margin of error of at most 0.01for a 90%confidence interval. Hint: Use Exercise 11.133.

b. Find a90%confidence interval for p1-p2if, for samples of the size determined in part (a), 38.3%of the men and 43.7%of the women sometimes order veg.

c. Determine the margin of error for the estimate in part (b), and compare it to the required margin of error specified in part (a).

In discussing the sample size required for obtaining a confidence interval with a prescribed confidence level and margin of error, we made the following statement: "... we should be aware that, if the observed value of p^is closer to 0.5than is our educated guess, the margin of error will be larger than desired." Explain why.

One-Proportion Plus-Four z-Interval Procedure. To obtain a plus four z-interval for a population proportion, we first add two successes and two failures to our data (hence, the term "plus four") and then apply Procedure 11.1on page 454to the new data. In other words, in place of p^(which is x/n), we use p~=(x+2)/(n+4). Consequently, for a confidence level of 1-α, the endpoints of the plus-four z-interval are

p~±za/2·p~(1-p~)/(n+4)

As a rule of thumb, the one-proportion plus-four z-interval procedure should be used only with confidence levels of 90% or greater and sample sizes of 10 or more.

Asthmatics and Sulfites. In the article "Explaining au Unusual Allergy, " appearing on the Everyday Health Network, Dr. A. Feldweg explained that allergy to sulfites is usually seen in patients with asthma. The typical reaction is a sudden increase in asthma symptoms after eating a food containing sulfites. Studies are performed to estimate the percentage of the nation's 10million asthmatics who are allergic to sulfites. In one survey, 38of 500randomly selected U.S. asthmatics were found to be allergic to sulfites. Find and interpret a 95%confidence interval for the proportion, p, of all U.S. asthmatics who are allergic to sulfites.
