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

a. A 90%confidence interval for μM−μF3051526=0.200=20.0%μM-μFwill contain 0

b. A 95%confidence interval for μM−μF3051526=0.200=20.0%μM-μFwill contain 0

c. A 99%confidence interval for μM−μF3051526=0.200=20.0%μM-μFwill contain 0

d. A 99.9% confidence interval for μM−μF3051526=0.200=20.0%μM-μF will contain 0

Short Answer

Expert verified

The required correct option is(d)

Step by step solution

01

Given information

Given,

P=0.002

02

Explanation

If the P-value is less than the significance level, the null hypothesis is rejected. As a result, we see that we reject the null hypothesis at the significance level0.001, but not at the significance level 0.01,0.05,0.10

If we reject the null hypothesis at the corresponding significance level, the confidence interval will contain zero. The 99.9%confidence interval will contain zero because we reject the null hypothesis at the corresponding significance level of 0.001

Therefore, option(d)is the correct option.

A random sample of 100of last year’s 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’s model found that 50had the minor brake defect.

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

Candles A company produces candles. Machine 1 makes candles with a mean

length of 15cm and a standard deviation of 0.15cm. Machine 2 makes candles with a

mean length of 15cm and a standard deviation of 0.10cm. A random sample of 49

candles is taken from each machine. Let x ̄1−x ̄2 be the

difference (Machine 1 – Machine 2) in the sample mean length of candles. Describe the

shape, center, and variability of the sampling distribution of x ̄1−x ̄2.

According to sleep researchers, if you are between the ages of 12and 18years old, you need 9 hours of sleep to function well. A simple random sample of 28students was chosen from a large high school, and these students were asked how much sleep they got the previous night. The mean of the responses was 7.9hours with a standard deviation of 2.1hours.

Which of the following is the standardized test statistic for the hypothesis test ?

  1. localid="1654221307488" t=7.9-92.128andt=7.9-92.128
  2. t=9-7.92.128andt=9-7.92.128

Where’s Egypt? In a Pew Research poll, 287out of 522randomly selected U.S. men were able to identify Egypt when it was highlighted on a map of the Middle East. When520 randomly selected U.S. women were asked, 233 were able to do so.

a. Construct and interpret a 95% confidence interval for the difference in the true

proportion of U.S. men and U.S. women who can identify Egypt on a map.

b. Based on your interval, is there convincing evidence of a difference in the true

proportions of U.S. men and women who can identify Egypt on a map? Justify your

answer.

Suppose the probability that a softball player gets a hit in any single at-bat is 0.300. Assuming that her chance of getting a hit on a particular time at bat is independent of her other times at bat, what is the probability that she will not get a hit until her fourth time at bat in a game?
