Chapter 10: Q 1. (page 639)

I want red!A candy maker offers Child and Adult bags of jelly beans with

different color mixes. The company claims that the Child mix has 30%red jelly beans, while the Adult mix contains 15%red jelly beans. Assume that the candy maker鈥檚 claim is true. Suppose we take a random sample of 50jelly beans from the Child mix and a separate random sample of 100jelly beans from the Adult mix. Let p^Cand p^Abe the sample proportions of red jelly beans from the Child and

Adult mixes, respectively.

a. What is the shape of the sampling distribution of p^C-p^A? Why?

b. Find the mean of the sampling distribution.

c. Calculate and interpret the standard deviation of the sampling distribution.

Short Answer

Expert verified

a. The shape in normal.

b. 渭p^C-p^A=0.15

c.蟽p^C-p^A=0.07399

Step by step solution

01

Given Information

It is given that nC=50

nA=100

pC=0.30

pA=0.15

02

Shape of p^C-p^A

Assuming p^C-p^Ais normal.

Condition is:

nCpC鈮�10

nC1-pC鈮�10

nApA鈮�10

nCpC=(50)(0.30)=15

nApA=(100)(0.15)=15

nA1-pA=(100)(1-0.15)=(100)(0.85)=85

The shape is approximately normal as it satisfies all the four conditions.

03

Mean of Sampling Distribution

Using 渭p^C-p^A=pC-pA

=0.30-0.15=0.15

Mean is0.17

04

Standard Deviation

Child jelly(50)<10%of all child jelly beansand

Adult jelly(100)<10%of all adult jelly beans

Standard deviation is 蟽p^C-p^A=pC1-pCnC+pA1-pAnA

=0.30(1-0.30)50+0.15(1-0.15)100

=0.30(0.70)50+0.15(0.85)100鈮�0.07399

Most popular questions from this chapter

Are TV commercials louder than their surrounding programs? To find out, researchers collected data on 50randomly selected commercials in a given week. With the television鈥檚 volume at a fixed setting, they measured the maximum loudness of each commercial and the maximum loudness in the first 30seconds of regular programming that followed. Assuming conditions for inference are met, the most appropriate method for answering the question of interest is

a. a two-sample t test for a difference in means.

b. a two-sample t interval for a difference in means.

c. a paired t test for a mean difference.

d. a paired t interval for a mean difference.

e. a two-sample z test for a difference in proportions.

Two samples or paired data? In each of the following settings, decide whether you should use two-sample t procedures to perform inference about a difference in means or paired t procedures to perform inference about a mean difference. Explain your choice.

a. To test the wear characteristics of two tire brands, A and B, each of 50cars of the same make and model is randomly assigned Brand A tires or Brand B tires.

b. To test the effect of background music on productivity, factory workers are observed. For one month, each subject works without music. For another month, the subject works while listening to music on an MP3 player. The month in which each subject listens to music is determined by a coin toss.

c. How do young adults look back on adolescent romance? Investigators interviewed a random sample of 40couples in their mid-twenties. The female and male partners were interviewed separately. Each was asked about his or her current relationship and also about a romantic relationship that lasted at least 2months when they were aged 15or 16. One response variable was a measure on a numerical scale of how much the attractiveness of the adolescent partner mattered. You want to find out how much men and women differ on this measure.

Which of the following is the correct margin of error for a 99%confidence interval for the difference in the proportion of male and female college students who worked for pay last summer?

a. 2.5760.851(0.149)550+0.851(0.149)500

b. 2.5760.851(0.149)1050

c. 2.5760.880(0.120)550+0.820(0.180)500

d. 1.9600.851(0.149)550+0.851(0.149)500

e. 1.9600.880(0.120)550+0.820(0.180)500

Literacy Refer to Exercise 2.

a. Find the probability that the proportion of graduates who pass the test is at most 0.20higher than the proportion of dropouts who pass, assuming that the researcher鈥檚 report is correct.

b. Suppose that the difference (Graduate 鈥� Dropout) in the sample proportions who pass the test is exactly 0.20. Based on your result in part (a), would this give you reason to doubt the researcher鈥檚 claim? Explain your reasoning.

Ice cream For a statistics class project, Jonathan and Crystal held an ice-cream-eating contest. They randomly selected 29 males and 35 females from their large high school to participate. Each student was given a small cup of ice cream and instructed to eat it as fast as possible. Jonathan and Crystal then recorded each contestant鈥檚 gender and time (in seconds), as shown in the dot plots.

Do these data give convincing evidence of a difference in the population means at the 伪=0.103051526=0.200=20.0%伪=0.10 significance level?

a. State appropriate hypotheses for performing a significance test. Be sure to define the parameters of interest.

b. Check if the conditions for performing the test are met.
