Given the following values of , , and , form a 90% confidence interval for

d.
In a random sample of 250 people from a city, 148 of them favor apples over other fruits.
a. Use a 90% confidence interval to estimate the true proportion p of people in the population who favor apples over other fruits.
b. How large a sample would be needed to estimate p to be within .15 with 90% confidence?
Gouges on a spindle. A tool-and-die machine shop produces extremely high-tolerance spindles. The spindles are 18-inch slender rods used in a variety of military equipment. A piece of equipment used in the manufacture of the spindles malfunctions on occasion and places a single gouge somewhere on the spindle. However, if the spindle can be cut so that it has 14 consecutive inches without a gouge, then the spindle can be salvaged for other purposes. Assuming that the location of the gouge along the spindle is random, what is the probability that a defective spindle can be salvaged?
Web Check response rates. Response rates to Web checks are generally low, incompletely due to druggies starting but not. I am finishing the check. Survey Methodology (December 2013) delved into the factors that impact response rates. In a designed study, Web druggies were directed to. Share in one of several checks with different formats. For illustration, one format employed a welcome screen with a white background, and another format employed a welcome screen with a red background. The 鈥渂reak-off rates,鈥 i.e., the proportion of tried druggies who break off the check before completing all questions, for the two formats are handed in the table.
White Welcome screen | Red Welcome screen | |
Number of Web users | 198 | 183 |
The number who break off the survey | 49 | 37 |
Break-off rate | .258 | .202 |
Source: R. Haer and N. Meidert, 鈥淒oes the First Impression Count? Examining the Effect of the Welcome Screen Design on the Response Rate,鈥 Survey Methodology, Vol. 39, No. 2, December 2013 (Table 4.1).
a. Corroborate the values of the break-off rates shown in the table.
b. The experimenters theorize that the true break-off rate for Web druggies of the red hello screen will be lower than the corresponding break-off rate for the white hello screen. Give the null and indispensable suppositions for testing this proposition.
c. Cipher the test statistic for the test.
d. Find the p- the value of the test.
e. Make the applicable conclusion using 伪 = .10.
Question:Quality control. Refer to Exercise 5.68. The mean diameter of the bearings produced by the machine is supposed to be .5 inch. The company decides to use the sample mean from Exercise 5.68 to decide whether the process is in control (i.e., whether it is producing bearings with a mean diameter of .5 inch). The machine will be considered out of control if the mean of the sample of n = 25 diameters is less than .4994 inch or larger than .5006 inch. If the true mean diameter of the bearings produced by the machine is .501 inch, what is the approximate probability that the test will imply that the process is out of control?
