AIDS and risk factors In the National AIDS

Behavioral Surveys sample of 2673adult heterosexuals, 0.2%had both received a blood transfusion and had a sexual partner from a group at high risk of A I D S. We want to estimate the proportion pin the population who share these two risk factors.

Short Answer

Expert verified

All three conditions for confidence level is not satisfied.

Step by step solution

01

Step-1 Given Information

Given in the question that,

Population size 2673

Number of success 0.2%of population size. We want to estimate the proportion pin the population who share these two risk factors.

02

Step-2 Explanation

Three conditions must be met in order to construct a confidence interval. Random, Independent, and Normal are the conditions.

The randomness requirement is not met since all of the samples taken are related to one another.

The requirement for independence is satisfied because the sample size is less than 10%of the population size.

The survey findings show that the number of successes is fewer than 10, indicating that the typical condition is not met.

As a result, none of the three confidence interval conditions are met.

Got shoes? The class in Exercise 1 wants to estimate the variability in the number of pairs of shoes that female students have by estimating the population variance 蟽2.

School vouchers A national opinion poll found that 44% of all American adults agree that parents should be given vouchers that are good for education at any public or private school of their choice. The result was based on a small sample.

(a) How large an SRS is required to obtain a margin of error of 0.03(that is, 卤3%) in a 99% con铿乨ence interval? Answer this question using the previous poll鈥檚 result as the guessed value for p鈭�.

(b) Answer the question in part (a) again, but this time use the conservative guess p鈭�=0.5. By how much do the two sample sizes differ?

Exercises 53 and 54 refer to the following setting. The table below displays the number of accidents at a factory during each hour of a 24-hour shift (1  1 a.m).

53. Accidents happen (1.2, 3.1)
(a) Construct a plot that displays the distribution of the number of accidents effectively.
(b) Construct a plot that shows the relationship between the number of accidents and the time when they occurred.
(c) Describe something that the plot in part (a) tells you about the data that the plot in part (b) does not.
(d) Describe something that the plot in part (b) tells you about the data that the plot in part (a) does not.

In each of the following situations, discuss whether it would be appropriate to construct a one-sample tinterval to estimate the population mean.

(a) We collect data from a random sample of adult residents in a state. Our goal is to estimate the overall percentage of adults in the state who are college graduates.

(b) The coach of a college men鈥檚 basketball team records the resting heart rates of the 15team members. We use these data to construct a confidence interval for the mean resting heart rate of all male students at this college.

(c) Do teens text more than they call? To find out, an AP Statistics class at a large high school collected data on the number of text messages and calls sent or received by each of 25randomly selected students. The Fathom boxplot below displays the difference (texts calls) for each student.

How confident? The figure at top right shows the result of taking 25SRSs from a Normal population and constructing a confidence interval for each sample. Which confidence level鈥�80%,90%,95%, or 99%鈥攄o you think was used? Explain.
