Chapter 10: Q 3. (page 639)

I want red! Refer to Exercise 1.

a. Find the probability that the proportion of red jelly beans in the Child sample is less than or equal to the proportion of red jelly beans in the Adult sample, assuming that the company鈥檚 claim is true.

b. Suppose that the Child and Adult samples contain an equal proportion of red jelly beans. Based on your result in part (a), would this give you reason to doubt the

company鈥檚 claim? Explain your reasoning.

Short Answer

Expert verified

a. P(z<-2.03)=0.2118

b. There is reason to doubt company's claim.

Step by step solution

01

Given Information

It is given that 渭=0.15

蟽=0.07399

02

Calculating the Probability

We know that z=x-渭蟽

=0-0.150.07399=-2.03

From standard normal distribution table, P(z<-2.03)=0.2118

=2.118%

03

Reason for Company's Claim

As P(z<-2.03)=2.118%, which is very small.

It gives reason to doubt company's claim.

A random sample of 100of last year鈥檚 model of a certain popular car found that 20had a specific minor defect in the brakes. The automaker adjusted the production process to try to reduce the proportion of cars with the brake problem. A random sample of 350of this year鈥檚 model found that 50had the minor brake defect.

a. Was the company鈥檚 adjustment successful? Carry out an appropriate test to support your answer. b. Based on your conclusion in part (a), which mistake鈥攁 Type I error or a Type II error鈥攃ould have been made? Describe a possible consequence of this error.

Response bias Does the appearance of the interviewer influence how people respond to a survey question? Ken (white, with blond hair) and Hassan (darker, with Middle Eastern features) conducted an experiment to address this question. They took turns (in a random order) walking up to people on the main street of a small town, identifying themselves as students from a local high school, and asking them, 鈥淒o you support President Obama鈥檚 decision to launch airstrikes in Iraq?鈥� Of the 50people Hassan spoke to, 11said 鈥淵es,鈥� while 21of the 44people Ken spoke to said 鈥淵es.鈥� Construct and interpret a 90%confidence interval for the difference in the proportion of people like these who would say they support President Obama鈥檚 decision when asked by Hassan versus when asked by Ken.

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.

On your mark In track, sprinters typically use starting blocks because they think it will help them run a faster race. To test this belief, an experiment was designed where each sprinter on a track team ran a 50-meter dash two times, once using starting blocks and once with a standing start. The order of the two different types of starts was determined at random for each sprinter. The times (in seconds) for 8 different sprinters are shown in the table.

a. Make a dotplot of the difference (Standing - Blocks) in 50-meter run time for each sprinter. What does the graph suggest about whether starting blocks are helpful?

b. Calculate the mean difference and the standard deviation of the differences. Explain why the mean difference gives some evidence that starting blocks are helpful.

c. Do the data provide convincing evidence that sprinters like these run a faster race when using starting blocks, on average?

d. Construct and interpret a 90%confidence interval for the true mean difference. Explain how the confidence interval gives more information than the test in part (b).

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.
