In each of Exercises 11.100-11.105, we have provided the numbers of successes and the sample sizes for independent simple random samples from two populations. In each case, do the following tasks.

a. Determine the sample proportions.

b. Decide whether using the fwe-proportions z-procedures is appropriate. If so, also do parts (c) and (d).

c. Use the two-pmoportions z-test to conduct the required hypothesis test.

d. Use the fwo-proportions z-interval procedure to find the specified confidence interval.

x1=30,n1=80,x2=15,n2=20;two tailed testα=0.05;95%confidence interval

Short Answer

Expert verified
  1. 0.375and0.75are the sample proportions.
  2. Thez-test with two proportions is appropriate.
  3. The findings provide adequate evidence to reject the null hypothesis at a 5%level of significance.
  4. -0.592to -0.158is the specified confidence interval.

Step by step solution

01

Part (a) Step 1: Given Information

Given in the question that, x1=30,n1=80,x2=15,n2=20;

We have to determine the sample proportions

02

Part (a) Step 2: Explanation

We have to calculate the value of p~1as follow:

p~1=x1n1=3080=0.375

Then compute the value of p~2as follow:

p~2=x2n2=1520=0.75

03

Part (b) Step 1: Given Information

Given in the question that,

x1=30,n1=80,x2=15,n2=20,α=0.05

We have to determine whether the z-interval technique for the two proportions is adequate or not.

04

Part (b) Step 2: Explanation

To begin, calculate n1−x1andn2−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.

We can compute the value of n1-x1as follow:

n1−x1=80−30=50

Let's compute the value of n2-x2as follow:

n2−x2=20−15=5

The two-proportion z-test technique is appropriate because the values are higher than or equal to5.

05

Part (c) Step 1: Given Information

Given in the question that, x1=30,n1=80,x2=15,n2=20,α=0.05,and95%confidence interval.

Using the z-test approach, find the needed hypothesis test.

06

Part (c) Step 2: Explanation 

We have to find the value of p~pas follow:

p~p=x1+x2n1+n2=30+1580+20=45100=0.45

Let's find the value of zby using the given formula:

z=p~1−p~2p~p1−p~p1n1+1n2=0.375−0.750.45(1−0.45)180+120=−0.3750.125=-3

Perform the test at a significance level of 5%, or a=0.05, using the value ofzαfrom table-IV (bottom).

zα=z0.05/2=±1.960

z>1.960is the rejected region. Since then, the test static has fallen into the reject zone. As a result, the hypothesisH0is rejected, and the test findings at the5%level are not statistically significant.

07

Part (d) Step 1: Given Information

To determine the confidence interval that has been specified

08

Part (d) Step 2: Explanation 

The confidence interval for p1-p2is for a confidence level of 1-α

p^1−p^2±z1/2×p^11−p^1/n1+p^21−p^2/n2

Compute the value of αas follow:

95=100(1−α)α=0.05

The value of zin the z-score table at α/2is 1.960.

For the difference between the two-population proportion, the needed confidence interval is determined as,

p~1-p~2±zα/2·p~11-p~1n1+2+p~21-p~2n2+2=(0.375-0.75)±1.960×0.375(1−0.375)80+0.75(1−0.75)20

=0.375±0.217=−0.592to−0.158

Suppose that you can make reasonably good educated guesses, p^1gand p^2g, for the observed values of p^1and p^2.

a. Use your result from Exercise 11.132to show that a (1-α)-level confidence interval for the difference between two population proportions that has an approximate margin of error of Ecan be obtained by choosing

n1=n2=p^1g1-p^1g+p^2g1-p^2gza/2E2

rounded up to the nearest whole number. Note: If you know likely ranges instead of exact educated guesses for the observed values of the two sample proportions, use the values in the ranges closest to 0.5as the educated guesses.

b. Explain why the formula in part (a) yields smaller (or at worst the same) sample sizes than the formula in Exercise 11.133.

c. When reasonably good educated guesses for the observed values of p^1and p^2can be made, explain why choosing the sample sizes by using the formula in part (a) is preferable to choosing them by using the formula in Exercise 11.133.

x1=18,n1=30,x2=10,n2=20;95%confidence interval

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 Exercise 11.25-11.30, if finding such a confidence interval was appropriate.

Racial Crossover. Refer to Exercise 11.108 and find and interpret a 95% confidence interval for the difference between the stroke incidences of white and African-American elderly.

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.
