Chapter 12: Q. 4 (page 799)

The school board in a certain school district obtained a random sample of 200residents and asked if they were in favor of raising property taxes to fund the hiring of more statistics teachers. The resulting confidence interval. for the true proportion of residents in favor of raising taxes was (0.183,0.257). The margin of error for this confidence interval is

(a) 0.037

(b) 0.183

c) 0.220

(d) 0.257

(e) 0.740

Short Answer

Expert verified

The margin of error for this confidence interval is (a)0.037

Step by step solution

01

Given information

We are given that a school board selects a random sample and asked if they were in favor of raising property taxes to fund the hiring of more statistics teachers.

We need to find the margin of error for this confidence interval is.

02

Simplify

As given in the question,

The resulting confidence interval. for the true proportion of residents in favor of raising taxes was 0.183,0.257

As we know,

The resulting confidence interval :p^-MOE,p^+MOE

where,

MOE=margin of error

p^=true proportion

According to formula,

p^+MOE=0.257p^-MOE=0.183p^+MOE-p^-MOE=2脳MOEMOE=0.257-0.1832=0.037

A residual plot from the least-squares regression is shown below. Which of the following statements is supported by the graph

(a) The residual plot contains dramatic evidence that the standard deviation of the response about the population regression line increases as the average number of putts per round increases.

(b) The sum of the residuals is not 0. Obviously, there is a major error present.

(c) Using the regression line to predict a player鈥檚 total winnings from his average number of putts almost always results in errors of less than \(200,000.

(d) For two players, the regression line under predicts their total winnings by more than\)800,000.

(e) The residual plot reveals a strong positive correlation between average putts per round and prediction errors from the least-squares line for these players.

Stats teachers' cars A random sample of AP Statistics teachers were asked to report the age (in years) and mileage of their primary vehicles. A scatterplot of the data is shown below.

Computer output from a least-squares regression analysis of these data is shown below. Assume that the conditions for regression inference are met.

(a) Verify that the 95% confidence interval for the slope of the population regression line is (9016.4, 14,244.8 ).

(b) A national automotive group claims that the typical driver puts 15,000 miles per year on his or her main vehicle. We want to test whether AP Statistics teachers are typical drivers. Explain why an appropriate pair of hypotheses for this test is H0:尾=15,000versus Ha:尾鈮�15,000.

(c) What conclusion would you draw for this significance test based on your interval in part (a)? Justify your answer.

Insurance adjusters are always vigilant about being overcharged for accident repairs. The adjusters suspect that Repair Shop 1quotes higher estimates than Repair Shop 2. To check their suspicion,

the adjusters randomly select 12cars that were recently involved in an accident and then take each of the cars to both repair shops to obtain separate estimates of the cost to 铿亁 the vehicle. The

estimates are given below in hundreds of dollars.


Assuming that the conditions for inference are reasonably met, which of the following signi铿乧ance tests could legitimately be used to determine whether the adjusters鈥� suspicion is correct?

I. A paired ttest

II. A two-sample ttest

III. A t test to see if the slope of the population regression line is 0.

(a) I only

(b) II only

(c) I and III

(d) II and III

(e) I, II, and III

Park rangers are interested in estimating the weight of the bears that inhabit their state. The rangers have data

on weight (in pounds) and neck girth (distance around the neck in inches) for 10 randomly selected bears. Some

regression output for these data is shown below.

Which of the following represents a 95% confidence interval for the true slope of the least-squares regression line relating the weight of a bear and its neck girth?

(a)241.710卤38.57(b)241.70卤88.94(c)20.230卤1.695(d)20.230卤3.83(e)20.230卤3.91

In the casting of metal parts, molten metal flows through a 鈥済ate鈥� into a die that shapes the part. The gate velocity (the speed at which metal is forced through the gate) plays a critical role in die casting. A firm that casts cylindrical aluminum pistons examined a random sample of 12 pistons formed from the same alloy of metal. What is the relationship between the cylinder wall thickness (inches) and the gate velocity (feet per second) chosen by the skilled workers who do the casting? If there is a clear pattern, it can be used to direct new workers or to automate the process.

Construct and interpret a 95%confidence interval for the slope of the population regression line. Explain how this interval is consistent with the results of Exercise R12.2.
