FindZ伪/2for each of the following:

a.= .10

b.= .01

c.= .05

d.= .20

Short Answer

Expert verified
  1. 1.645
  2. 2.576
  3. 1.960
  4. 1.28

Step by step solution

01

ComputingZα/2  when α is 0.10

  1. Whenis 0.10, it means that 伪2will be equal to 0.05. From the z score table containing the level of significances,the associated critical value of z can be found to be 1.645.
02

Computing Zα/2 when α is 0.01

b. Whenis 0.01, it means that 伪2will be equal to 0.005. From the z score table containing the level of significances,the associated critical value of z can be found to be 2.576.

03

Computing Zα/2 when α is 0.05

c. Whenis 0.05, it means that 伪2will be equal to 0.025. From the z score table containing the level of significances, the associated critical value of z can be found to be 1.960

04

Computing Zα/2 when α is 0.20

d. Whenis 0.20, it means that 伪2will be equal to 0.10. From the z score table containing the level of significances, the associated critical value of z can be found to be 1.28.

Facial structure of CEOs. In Psychological Science (Vol. 22, 2011), researchers reported that a chief executive officer鈥檚 facial structure can be used to predict a firm鈥檚 financial performance. The study involved measuring the facial width-to-height ratio (WHR) for each in a sample of 55 CEOs at publicly traded Fortune 500 firms. These WHR values (determined by a computer analyzing a photo of the CEO鈥檚 face) had a mean ofx炉=1.96 and a standard deviation of s=0.15.

a. Find and interpret a 95% confidence interval for 渭, the mean facial WHR for all CEOs at publicly traded Fortune 500 firms.

b. The researchers found that CEOs with wider faces (relative to height) tended to be associated with firms that had greater financial performance. They based their inference on an equation that uses facial WHR to predict financial performance. Suppose an analyst wants to predict the financial performance of a Fortune 500 firm based on the value of the true mean facial WHR of CEOs. The analyst wants to use the value of 渭=2.2. Do you recommend he use this value?

Question: Nannies who are INA certified. The International Nanny Association (INA) reports that in a sample of 928 in-home child care providers (nannies), 128 have passed the INA Nanny Credential Exam (2014 International Nanny Association Salary and Benefits Survey). Use Wilson鈥檚 adjustment to find a 95% confidence interval for the true proportion of all nannies who have passed the INA certification exam.

Suppose you have selected a random sample of n = 5 measurements from a normal distribution. Compare the standard normal z-values with the corresponding t-values if you were forming the following confidence intervals.

a. 80% confidence interval

b. 90% confidence interval

c. 95% confidence interval

d. 98% confidence interval

e. 99% confidence interval

f. Use the table values you obtained in parts a鈥揺 to sketch the z- and t-distributions. What are the similarities and differences?

U.S. Postal Service鈥檚 performance. The U.S. Postal Service (USPS) reports that 95% of first-class mail within the same city is delivered on time (i.e., within 2 days of the time of mailing). To gauge the USPS performance, Price Waterhouse monitored the delivery of first-class mail items between Dec. 10 and Mar. 3鈥攖he most difficult delivery season due to bad weather conditions and holidays. In a sample of 332,000 items, Price Waterhouse determined that 282,200 were delivered on time. Comment on the performance of USPS first-class mail service over this time period.

Lobster trap placement. An observational study of teams fishing for the red spiny lobster in Baja California Sur, Mexico, was conducted and the results published in Bulletin of Marine Science(April 2010). One of the variables of interest was the average distance separating traps鈥攃alled trap spacing鈥攄eployed by the same team of fishermen. Trap-spacing measurements (in meters) for a sample of seven teams of red spiny lobster fishermen are shown in the accompanying table. Of interest is the mean

trap spacing for the population of red spiny lobster fishermen fishing in Baja California Sur, Mexico.
