Chapter 8: Q.9 (page 477)

Construct a 90% confidence interval for the population mean time to complete the forms. State the confidence interval, sketch the graph and calculate the error bound.

Short Answer

Expert verified

The confidence interval isCl:(7.9441,8.4559).

Step by step solution

01

Given Information

90% confidence interval for the population mean time to complete the forms.

02

Explanation

Let's calculate the Margin of error by using the given formula:

Za2脳蟽n

Place the values=Z0.102脳2.2200=1.6449脳2.2200=0.25588

Then we have to find the confidence interval by using the given formula:

X炉卤Za2脳蟽n

role="math" localid="1652508772667" Confidence Interval=8.2卤Z0.102脳2.2200=8.2卤1.6449脳2.2200=[7.944,8.455]

Therefore, the confidence interval Cl:(7.9441,8.4559).

The graph:

The error bound EBM=0.26.

120. An article regarding interracial dating and marriage recently appeared in the Washington Post. Of the1,709randomly selected adults, 315identified themselves as Latinos, 323 identified themselves as blacks, 254identified themselves as Asians, and 779identified themselves as whites. In this survey, 86%of blacks said that they would welcome a white person into their families. Among Asians, 77%would welcome a white person into their families, 71%would welcome a Latino, and 66%would welcome a black person.

a. We are interested in finding the 95%confidence interval for the percent of all black adults who would welcome a white person into their families. Define the random variables role="math" localid="1650173946070" Xand P', in words.

b. Which distribution should you use for this problem? Explain your choice.

i. State the confidence interval.

ii. Sketch the graph.

iii. Calculate the error bound.

The American Community Survey (ACS), part of the United States Census Bureau, conducts a yearly census similar to the one taken every ten years, but with a smaller percentage of participants. The most recent survey estimates with 90%confidence that the mean household income in the U.S. falls between \(69,720and\)69,922. Find the point estimate for mean U.S. household income and the error bound for mean U.S. household income.

The Federal Election Commission (FEC) collects information about campaign contributions and disbursements for

candidates and political committees each election cycle. A political action committee (PAC) is a committee formed to raise

money for candidates and campaigns. A Leadership PAC is a PAC formed by a federal politician (senator or representative)

to raise money to help other candidates鈥� campaigns.

The FEC has reported financial information for 556Leadership PACs that operating during the 2011鈥�2012election cycle.

The following table shows the total receipts during this cycle for a random selection of 30Leadership PACs.

虅x=\(251,854.23

s=\)521,130.41

Use this sample data to construct a 96%confidence interval for the mean amount of money raised by all Leadership PACs

during the 2011鈥�2012election cycle. Use the Student's t-distribution.
