Chapter 10: Q 4. (page 639)

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.

Short Answer

Expert verified

a. P(z<-2.61)=0.00453

b. Due to small value of probability, there is reason to doubt company's claim.

Step by step solution

01

Given Information

It is given that 渭=0.40

蟽=0.07745

p^G-p^D=0.20

02

Calculation of Probability

Using z=x-渭蟽

=0.20-0.400.07745鈮�-2.61

Hence, P(z<-2.61)=0.00453

=0.45%

03

Reason to Doubt Company's Claim

As we have calculated P(z<-2.61)=0.00453. Is is very small.

There is reason to doubt company's claim.

TicksLyme disease is spread in the northeastern United States by infected ticks. The ticks are infected mainly by feeding on mice, so more mice result in more infected ticks. The mouse population, in turn, rises and falls with the abundance of acorns, their favored food. Experimenters studied two similar forest areas in a year when the acorn crop failed. To see if mice are more likely to breed when there are more acorns, the researchers added hundreds of thousands of acorns to one area to imitate an abundant acorn crop, while leaving the other area untouched. The next spring, 54of the 72mice trapped in the first area were in breeding condition, versus 10of the 17mice trapped in the second area.

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.

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.

Which inference method?

a. Drowning in bathtubs is a major cause of death in children less than5years old. A random sample of parents was asked many questions related to bathtub safety. Overall,85%of the sample said they used baby bathtubs for infants. Estimate the percent of all parents of young children who use baby bathtubs.

b. How seriously do people view speeding in comparison with other annoying behaviors? A large random sample of adults was asked to rate a number of behaviors on a scale of1(no problem at all) to5(very severe problem). Do speeding drivers get a higher average rating than noisy neighbors?

c. You have data from interviews with a random sample of students who failed to graduate from a particular college in7years and also from a random sample of students who entered at the same time and did graduate within7years. You will use these data to estimate the difference in the percent's of students from rural backgrounds among dropouts and graduates.

d. Do experienced computer-game players earn higher scores when they play with someone present to cheer them on or when they play alone? Fifty teenagers with experience playing a particular computer game have volunteered for a study. We randomly assign25 of them to play the game alone and the other25to play the game with a supporter present. Each player鈥檚 score is recorded.

Drive-thru or go inside? Many people think it鈥檚 faster to order at the drive-thru than to order inside at fast-food restaurants. To find out, Patrick and William used a random number generator to select10times over a 2鈥�week period to visit a local Dunkin鈥� Donuts restaurant. At each of these times, one boy ordered an iced coffee at the drive-thru and the other ordered an iced coffee at the counter inside. A coin flip determined who went inside and who went to the drive-thru. The table shows the times, in seconds, that it took for each boy to receive his iced coffee after he placed the order.

Do these data provide convincing evidence at the 伪=0.05level of a difference in the true mean service time inside and at the drive-thru for this Dunkin鈥� Donuts restaurant?

Don鈥檛 drink the water!The movie A Civil Action (1998) tells the story of a

major legal battle that took place in the small town of Woburn, Massachusetts. A town well that supplied water to east Woburn residents was contaminated by industrial chemicals. During the period that residents drank water from this well, 16of 414babies born had birth defects. On the west side of Woburn, 3of 228babies born during the same time period had birth defects. Let p1be

the true proportion of all babies born with birth defects in west Woburn and p2be the true proportion of all babies born with birth defects in east Woburn. Check if the conditions for calculating a confidence interval forp1-p2are met.
