Downloading 鈥渁pps鈥 to your cell phone. Refer toExercise 4.173 (p. 282) and the August 2011 survey by thePew Internet & American Life Project. The study foundthat 40% of adult cell phone owners have downloadedan application (鈥渁pp鈥) to their cell phone. Assume thispercentage applies to the population of all adult cell phoneowners.

  1. In a random sample of 50 adult cell phone owners, howlikely is it to find that more than 60% have downloadedan 鈥渁pp鈥 to their cell phone?
  2. Refer to part a. Suppose you observe a sample proportionof .62. What inference can you make about the trueproportion of adult cell phone owners who have downloadedan 鈥渁pp鈥?
  3. Suppose the sample of 50 cell phone owners is obtainedat a convention for the International Association forthe Wireless Telecommunications Industry. How willyour answer to part b change, if at all?

Short Answer

Expert verified
  1. There is 0.2% chance that more than 60% have downloaded the application.
  2. The sample proportion is too small. So, there can assume that either the sample is taken randomly or there is a problem in the population mean proportion.

c. The population mean can鈥檛 be rejected and there is no problem with that. So, the sample is taken randomly

Step by step solution

01

Given information

Referring to exercise 4.173 (p. 282), the study discovers that the application was downloaded by 40% of adults on their cell phones. The percentage applied to the population of adult cell phone owners.

So, the probabilityp=0.40

02

Calculate the Probability

a.

Consider the standard error of the 50 random sample,

So,

=p1-pn=0.400.6050=0.692

Now, the probability that more than 60% have downloaded the application is,

PrX>0.60=Prp^-p>0.60-0.400.692=Prz>2.89=1-Prz<2.89=1-0.99807=0.0020

Therefore, there is a very low chance of 0.2% that more than 60% have downloaded the application.

03

Determine the inference

b.

Referring to part a., the sample proportion is too small. So, there can assume that either the sample is taken randomly or there is a problem in the population mean proportion.

04

Justify the inference

c.

Hence the sample is from the International Association for the Wireless Telecommunication industry. So, the sample is biased and categorizes the adults from the same industry who are more interested to download the application.

Therefore, the population mean can鈥檛 be rejected and there is no problem with that. So, the sample is taken randomly.

Video game players and divided attention tasks. Human Factors (May 2014) published the results of a study designed to determine whether video game players are better than non鈥搗ideo game players at crossing the street when presented with distractions. Participants (college students) entered a street-crossing simulator. The simulator was designed to have cars traveling at various high rates of speed in both directions. During the crossing, the students also performed a memory task as a distraction. The researchers found that students who are video game players took an average of 5.1 seconds to cross the street, with a standard deviation of .8 second. Assume that the time, x, to cross the street for the population of video game players has , Now consider a sample of 30 students and let x represent the sample mean time (in seconds) to cross the street in the simulator.

a. Find Px>5.5

b. The 30 students in the sample are all non鈥搗ideo game players. What inference can you make about and/or for the population of non鈥搗ideo game players? Explain.

Purchasing decision. A building contractor has decided to purchase a load of the factory-reject aluminum siding as long as the average number of flaws per piece of siding in a sample of size 35 from the factory's reject pile is 2.1 or less. If it is known that the number of flaws per piece of siding in the factory's reject pile has a Poisson probability distribution with a mean of 2.5, find the approximate probability that the contractor will not purchase a load of siding
