Chapter 8: Q.30 (page 496)

Whelks and mussels The small round holes you often see in sea shells were drilled by other sea creatures, who ate the former dwellers of the shells. Whelks often drill into mussels, but this behavior appears to be more or less common in different locations. Researchers collected whelk eggs from the coast of Oregon, raised the whelks in the laboratory, then put each whelk in a container with some delicious mussels. Only 9of98whelks drilled into a mussel. The researchers want to estimate the proportion p of Oregon whelks that will spontaneously drill into mussels.

Short Answer

Expert verified

All three conditions for confidence interval is not satisfied.

Step by step solution

01

Step-1 Given Information 

Given in the question that ,

Number of success=9The researchers want to estimate the proportion pof Oregon whelks that will spontaneously drill into mussels.

02

Step-2 Explanation

To calculate a confidence interval three conditions should be satisfied. The conditions are Random, Independent and Normal.

The condition of random is unknown in the description. Thus, random is not satisfied.

Since the sample size is less than 10%of the population size thus the condition of independent is satisfied.

The survey results the number of success is 9is less than 10thus condition of normal is not satisfied.

Hence, all three conditions for confidence interval is not satisfied.

Alcohol abuse has been described by college presidents as the number one problem on campus, and it is an important cause of death in young adults. How common is it? A survey of 10,904 randomly selected U.S. college students collected information on drinking behavior and alcohol-related problems.9 The researchers defined 鈥渇requent binge drinking鈥� as having five or more drinks in row three or more times in the past two weeks. According to this definition, 2486 students were classified as frequent binge drinkers.

Find the critical value for a 99% confidence interval. Show your method. Then calculate the interval.

True or false: The interval from 2.84to 7.55has a 95%chance of containing the actual population standard deviation S. Justify your answer.

A polling organization announces that the proportion of American voters who favor congressional term limits is 64%, with a 95%confidence margin of error of 3%. If the opinion poll had announced the margin of error for 80% confidence rather than 95%confidence, this margin of error would be

(a) 3%, because the same sample is used.

(b) less than 3%, because we require less confidence.

(c) less than 3%, because the sample size is smaller.

(d) greater than 3%, because we require less confidence.

(e) greater than 3%, because the sample size is smaller.

Got shoes? How many pairs of shoes, on average, do female teens have? To find out, an AP Statistics class conducted a survey. They selected an SRS of 20female students from their school. Then they recorded the number of pairs of shoes that each student reported having. Here are the data:

The company鈥檚 customer satisfaction survey.

In the company鈥檚 prior-year survey, 80% of customers surveyed said they were 鈥渟atisfied鈥� or 鈥渧ery satisfied.鈥� Using this value as a guess for p藛, find the sample size needed for a margin of error of 3% at a 95% confidence level.
