In each of Exercises 11.122-11.127, we have given the numbers of successes and the sample sizes for simple random samples for independent random samples from two populations. In each case,

a. use the rwo-proportions plus-four z-interval procedure to find the required confidence interval for the difference between the two population proportions.

b. compare your result with the corresponding confidence interval found in parts (d) of Exercises 11.100-11.105, if finding such a confidence interval was appropriate.

x1=14,n1=20,x2=8,n2=20;90%confidence interval

Short Answer

Expert verified
  1. For the difference between the two-population proportion, the appropriate confidence interval is 0.032 to0.508
  2. The results are in line with the stated exercise outcomes, with a 90%confidence level.

Step by step solution

01

Part (a) Step 1: Given Information

Given in the question that, x1=14,n1=20,x2=8,n2=20;90%confidence interval.

We have to determine the needed confidence interval for the difference in the proportions of the two populations.

02

Part (a) Step 2: Explanation

Let's compute the value of p~1as follow:

p~1=x1+1n1+2=14+120+2=0.68

Then determine the value of p~2:

p~2=x2+1n2+2=8+120+2=0.41

03

Part (a) Step 3: Calculate the value of confidence interval

Let's find the value of αfirst :

90=100(1−α)α=0.1

We observed that the values of zat α/2 from the table of zscore is 1.645

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

p~1−p~2±zα/2⋅p~11−p~1n1+2+p~21−p~2n2+2=(0.68−0.41)±1.645×0.68(1−0.68)20+2+0.41(1−0.41)20+2

=0.27±0.238=0.032to0.508

04

Part (b) Step 1: Given Information

To determine the needed confidence interval for the difference in the proportions of the two populations.

05

Part (b) Step 2: Explanation

Using the two-proportions plus-four z-interval approach, the needed confidence interval for the difference between the two-population proportion is 0.032to 0.508.

11.96 Kids Attending Church. In an ABC Global Kids Study, conducted by Roper Starch Worldwide, Inc., estimates were made in various countries of the percentage of children who attend church at least once a week.

a. identify the specified attribute.
b. identify the two populations.
c. What are the two population proportions under consideration?

a. Determine the sample proportion.

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

a. Identify the population.

b. Identify the specified attribute.

c. Is the proportion 0.104(10.4%)a population proportion or a sample proportion? Explain your answer.

x1=30,n1=80,x2=15,n2=20;95%confidence interval

Online Tax Returns. According to the Internal Revenue Service, among people entitled to tax refunds, those who file online receive their refunds twice as fast as paper filers. A study conducted by International Communications Research (ICR) of Media, Pennsylvania, found that 57% of those polled said that they are not worried about the privacy of their financial information when filing their tax returns online. The survey had a margin of error of plus or minus 3 percentage points (for a 0.95 confidence level). Use this information to determine a 95% confidence interval for the percentage of all people who are not worried about the privacy of their financial information when filing their tax returns online.
