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.

Shrubs and fire Fire is a serious threat to shrubs in dry climates. Some shrubs can

resprout from their roots after their tops are destroyed. Researchers wondered if fire would help with resprouting. One study of resprouting took place in a dry area of Mexico. The researchers randomly assigned shrubs to treatment and control groups. They clipped the tops of all the shrubs. They then applied a propane torch to the stumps of the treatment group to simulate a fire. All 12of the shrubs in the treatment group resprouted. Only 8of the 12shrubs in the control group resprouted.

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.

Cockroaches The pesticide diazinon is commonly used to treat infestations of the German cockroach, Blattella germanica. A study investigated the persistence of this pesticide on various types of surfaces. Researchers applied a 0.5%emulsion of diazinon to glass and plasterboard. After 14days, they randomly assigned 72cockroaches to two groups of 36, placed one group on each surface, and recorded the number that died within 48hours. On glass, 18cockroaches died, while on plasterboard, 25died. Ifp1,p2

are the true proportions of cockroaches like these that would die within 48

hours on glass treated with diazinon and on plasterboard treated with diazinon,

respectively, check if the conditions for calculating a confidence interval for p1-p2are met.

Based on the P-value in Exercise 71, which of the following must be true?

a. A 90%confidence interval for 渭M鈭捨糉3051526=0.200=20.0%渭M-渭Fwill contain 0

b. A 95%confidence interval for 渭M鈭捨糉3051526=0.200=20.0%渭M-渭Fwill contain 0

c. A 99%confidence interval for 渭M鈭捨糉3051526=0.200=20.0%渭M-渭Fwill contain 0

d. A 99.9% confidence interval for 渭M鈭捨糉3051526=0.200=20.0%渭M-渭F will contain 0

Bird eggs A researcher wants to see if birds that build larger nests lay larger eggs. She selects two random samples of nests: one of the small nests and the other of large nests. Then she weighs one egg (chosen at random if there is more than one egg) from each nest. A 95% confidence interval for the difference (Large 鈭� Small) between the mean mass (in

grams) of eggs in small and large nests is 1.6卤2.0 role="math" localid="1654714720708" 3051526=0.200=20.0%1.6卤2.0

a. Does the interval provide convincing evidence of a difference in the true mean egg mass of birds with small nests and birds with large nests? Explain your answer.

b. Does the interval provide convincing evidence that the true mean egg mass of birds with small nests and birds with large nests is the same? Explain your answer.

Quit smoking Nicotine patches are often used to help smokers quit. Does giving medicine to fight depression help? A randomized double-blind experiment assigned 244smokers to receive nicotine patches and another 245to receive both a patch and the antidepressant drug bupropion. After a year, 40subjects in the nicotine patch group had abstained from smoking, as had 87in the patch-plus-drug group. Construct and interpret a 99%confidence interval for the difference in the true proportion of smokers like these who would abstain when using bupropion and a nicotine patch and the proportion who would abstain when using only a patch.
