Do teachers find their work rewarding and satisfying? The article "Work-Related Attitudes" (Psychological Reports, 1991: \(443 - 450)\)reports the results of a survey of 395 elementary school teachers and 266 high school teachers. Of the elementary school teachers, 224 said they were very satisfied with their jobs, whereas 126 of the high school teachers were very satisfied with their work. Estimate the difference between the proportion of all elementary school teachers who are very satisfied and all high school teachers who are very satisfied by calculating and interpreting a\(CI\).

Step by step solution

01

To estimate the difference between the proportion of all elementary school and all high school teachers who are very satisfied  

A confidence interval for \({p_1} - {p_2}\)with confidence level of approximately \(100(1 - \alpha )\% \) is

\({\hat p_1} - {\hat p_2} \pm {z_{\alpha /2}} \cdot \sqrt {\frac{{{{\hat p}_1}{{\hat q}_1}}}{m} + \frac{{{{\hat p}_2}{{\hat q}_2}}}{n}} \)

The confidence interval can be used when\(m \cdot {\hat p_1},m \cdot {\hat q_1},n \cdot {\hat p_1}\), and \(n \cdot {\hat q_1}\) are at least 10

There are \(m = 395\) elementary school teachers and \(n = 266\) high school teachers. There are 224 elementary school satisfied teachers with their job, thus

\({\hat p_1} = \frac{{224}}{{395}}\)

is the proportion, and 126 high school teachers satisfied with their job, thus

\({\hat p_2} = \frac{{126}}{{266}}\)

Therefore, the 95 % confidence interval is

\(\begin{array}{l}{{\hat p}_1} - {{\hat p}_2} - {z_{\alpha /2}} \cdot \sqrt {\frac{{{{\hat p}_1}{{\hat q}_1}}}{m} + \frac{{{{\hat p}_2}{{\hat q}_2}}}{n}} ,{{\hat p}_1} - {{\hat p}_2} + {z_{\alpha /2}} \cdot \sqrt {\frac{{{{\hat p}_1}{{\hat q}_1}}}{m} + \frac{{{{\hat p}_2}{{\hat q}_2}}}{n}} \\ = \frac{{224}}{{395}} - \frac{{126}}{{266}} - 1.96 \cdot \sqrt {\frac{{224}}{{395}} \cdot \frac{{171}}{{395}}} \;\;\;395 + \frac{{126}}{{266}} \cdot \frac{{140}}{{266}}\;\;\;266,\\ = \frac{{224}}{{395}} - \frac{{126}}{{266}} + 1.96 \cdot \sqrt {\frac{{224}}{{395}} \cdot \frac{{171}}{{395}}} \;\;\;395 + \frac{{126}}{{266}} \cdot \frac{{140}}{{266}}\;\;\;266\\ = (0.016,0.171).\end{array}\)

Recent incidents of food contamination have caused great concern among consumers. The article "How Safe Is That Chicken?" (Consumer Reports, Jan. 2010: 19-23) reported that 35 of 80 randomly selected Perdue brand broilers tested positively for either campylobacter or salmonella (or' both), the leading bacterial causes of food-borne disease, whereas 66 of 80 Tyson brand broilers tested positive.

  1. Does it appear that the true proportion of noncontaminated Perdue broilers differs from that for the Tyson brand? Carry out a test of hypotheses using a significance level .01.
  2. If the true proportions of non-contaminated chickens for the Perdue and Tyson brands are .50 and .25, respectively, how likely is it that the null hypothesis of equal proportions will be rejected when a .01 significance level is used and the sample sizes are both 80?

Reconsider the data of Example \(9.6\), and calculate a \(95\% \)upper confidence bound for the ratio of the standard deviation of the triacetate porosity distribution to that of the cotton porosity distribution.

Arsenic is a known carcinogen and poison. The standard laboratory procedures for measuring arsenic \(concentration (\mu g/L)\) in water are expensive. Consider the accompanying summary data and Minitab output for comparing a laboratory method to a new relatively quick and inexpensive field method (from the article "Evaluation of a New Field Measurement Method for Arsenic in Drinking Water Samples," J. of Emvir. Engr., 2008: 382-388).

What conclusion do you draw about the two methods, and why? Interpret the given confidence interval. (Note: One of the article's authors indicated in private communication that they were unsure why the two methods disagreed.)

Tensile-strength tests were carried out on two different grades of wire rod (鈥淔luidized Bed Patenting of Wire Rods,鈥 Wire J., June \(1977: 56 - 61)\), resulting in the accompanying data

Sample

Sample Mean Sample

Grade Size (kg/mm2 ) SD

\(\overline {\underline {\begin{array}{*{20}{l}}{ AISI 1064}&{m = 129}&{\bar x = 107.6}&{{s_1} = 1.3}\\{ AISI 1078}&{n = 129}&{\bar y = 123.6}&{{s_2} = 2.0}\\{}&{}&{}&{}\end{array}} } \)

a. Does the data provide compelling evidence for concluding that true average strength for the \(1078\) grade exceeds that for the \(1064\) grade by more than \(10kg/m{m^2}\) ? Test the appropriate hypotheses using a significance level of \(.01\).

b. Estimate the difference between true average strengths for the two grades in a way that provides information about precision and reliability

The derailment of a freight train due to the catastrophic failure of a traction motor armature bearing provided the impetus for a study reported in the article "Locomotive Traction Motor Armature Bearing Life Study" (Lubrication Engr., Aug. 1997: 12-19). A sample of high-mileage traction motors was selected, and the amount of cone penetration (mm/ 10) was determined both for the pinion bearing and for the commutator armature bearing, resulting in the following data:

Motor

1 2 3 4 5 6

Commutator 211 273 305 258 270 209

Pinion 266 278 259 244 273 236

Motor

7 8 9 10 11 12

Commutator 223 288 296 233 262 291

Pinion 290 287 315 242 288 242

Motor

13 14 15 16 17

Commutator 278 275 210 272 264

Pinion 278 208 281 274 268

Calculate an estimate of the population mean difference between penetration for the commutator armature bearing and penetration for the pinion bearing, and do so in a way that conveys information about the reliability and precision of the estimate. (Note: A normal probability plot validates the necessary normality assumption.) Would you say that the population mean difference has been precisely estimated? Does it look as though population mean penetration differs for the two types of bearings? Explain.
