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.

Short Answer

Expert verified

We are 95% confident that the true proportion of all nannies that have passed the INA certification exam lies between the interval of 0.117 and 0.161.

Step by step solution

01

Given Information

The sample size was n=928.

The number of successes in the sample, x=128.

The confidence interval=95%.

02

Compute the adjusted sample proportion

The adjusted population proportion is calculated as:

p~=x+2n+4=128+2928+4=0.139

03

Compute the confidence interval of p

The significance level corresponds to the 95% confidence interval is,

1-伪=0.95伪=0.05

The value of is obtained from the standard normal table is,

Z伪2=Z0.025=1.96

The 95% confidence interval for the proportion is computed as

C.I=p~卤Z伪2p~1-p~n+4=0.139卤1.96脳0.1391-0.139928+4=0.139卤0.022=0.117,0.161

Hence, we are 95% confident that the actual proportion of all nannies that have passed the INA certification exam lies between the interval of 0.117 and 0.161.

Budget lapsing at army hospitals. Budget lapsing occurs when unspent funds do not carry over from one budgeting period to the next. Refer to the Journal of Management Accounting Research (Vol. 19, 2007) study on budget lapsing at U.S. Army hospitals, Exercise 2.113 (p. 126). Because budget lapsing often leads to a spike in expenditures at the end of the fiscal year, the researchers recorded expenses per full-time equivalent employee for each in a sample of 1,751 army hospitals. The sample yielded the following summary statistics:x炉=\(6,563 and s=\)2,484. Estimate the mean expenses per full-time equivalent employee of all U.S. Army hospitals using a 90% confidence interval. Interpret the result.

In each case, find the approximate sample size required to construct a 95% confidence interval for p that has sampling error of SE = .08.

a. Assume p is near .2.

b. Assume you have no prior knowledge about p, but you wish to be certain that your sample is large enough to achieve the specified accuracy for the estimate.

Latex allergy in health care workers. Health care workers who use latex gloves with glove powder on a daily basis are particularly susceptible to developing a latex allergy. Each sample of 46 hospital employees who were diagnosed with a latex allergy based on a skin-prick test reported their exposure to latex gloves (Current Allergy& Clinical Immunology, March 2004). Summary statistics for the number of latex gloves used per week is ,x炉=19.3

s = 11.9.

a. Give a point estimate for the average number of latex gloves used per week by all health care workers with a latex allergy.

b. Form a 95% confidence interval for the average number of latex gloves used per week by all health care workers with a latex allergy.

c. Give a practical interpretation of the interval, part b.

d. Give the conditions required for the interval, part b, to be valid.

Study of aircraft bird strikes. Refer to the InternationalJournal for Traffic and Transport Engineering(Vol. 3,2013) study of aircraft bird strikes at a Nigerian airport,Exercise 6.54 (p. 357). Recall that an air traffic controller

wants to estimate the true proportion of aircraft bird strikesthat occur above 100 feet. Determine how many aircraftbird strikes need to be analyzed to estimate the true proportionto within .05 if you use a 95% confidence interval.

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?
