American-made cars Nathan and Kyle both work for the Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV), but they live in different states. In Nathan鈥檚 state, 80%of the registered cars are made by American manufacturers. In Kyle鈥檚 state, only 60%of the registered cars are made by American manufacturers. Nathan selects a random sample of 100cars in his state and Kyle selects a random sample of 70cars in his state. Let pn-pkbe the difference (Nathan鈥檚 state 鈥 Kyle鈥檚 state) in the sample proportion of cars made by American manufacturers.

a. What is the shape of the sampling distribution of pn-pk? Why?

b. Find the mean of the sampling distribution.

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

Short Answer

Expert verified

Part(a) The shape is approximately normal.

Part(b) The mean is 0.20

Part(c) The standard deviation is 0.09586

Step by step solution

01

Part(a) Step 1 : Given information

We need to find shape of sampling distribution.

02

Part(a) Step 2 : Simplify

As given ,
n1=100n2=70p1=80%=0.80p2=60%=0.60
It is safe to assume that the sampling distribution of p^1-p^2 is approximately normal if,
n1p110,n11-p110,n2p210,n21-p210.
Thus, we have,
n1p1=100(0.80)=80n1(1-p1)=100(1-0.80)=100(0.20)=20n2p2=70(0.60)=42n2(1-p2)=70(1-0.60)=70(0.40)=28
All the conditions are met, which implies that the sampling distribution of p^1-p^2is approximately normal.

03

Part(b) Step 1 : Given information

We need to find mean of sampling distribution.

04

Part(b) Step 2 : Simplify

It is given in the question that:
n1=100n2=70p1=80%=0.80p2=60%=0.60
The mean of the sampling distribution of p^1-p^2 is the difference between the proportions:
p1^-p2^=p1-p2=0.80-0.60=0.20
The mean is 0.20

05

Part(c) Step 1 : Given information

We need to find the standard deviation of the sampling distribution.

06

Part(c) Step 2 : Simplify

It is given in the question that:
n1=100n2=70p1=80%=0.80p2=60%=0.60

The mean of the sampling distribution of is the difference between the proportions:

p1^-p2^=p1-p2=0.80-0.60=0.20

The standard deviation of p^1-p^2 is given by:
p1^-p2^=p1(1-p1)n1+p2(1-p2)n2=0.80(1-0.80)100+0.60(1-0.60)70=0.09586
Thus, we conclude that the difference between Nathan's state and Kyle's state in the sample proportion of cars made by the American manufacturers varies on average by 0.09586from the mean difference 0.20.

A random sample of size n will be selected from a population, and the proportion p^3051526=0.200=20.0%p^ of those in the sample who have a Facebook page will be calculated. How would the margin of error for a 95% confidence interval be affected if the sample size were increased from 50to200 and the sample proportion of people who have a Facebook page is unchanged?

a. It remains the same.

b. It is multiplied by 2.

c. It is multiplied by 4.

d. It is divided by 2.

e. It is divided by 4.

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%=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.

At a baseball game, 42of 65randomly selected people own an iPod. At a rock concert occurring at the same time across town, 34of 52randomly selected people own an iPod. A researcher wants to test the claim that the proportion of iPod owners at the two venues is different. A 90%confidence interval for the difference (Game 鈭 Concert) in population proportions is (0.154,0.138). Which of the following gives the correct outcome of the researcher鈥檚 test of the claim?

a. Because the confidence interval includes 0, the researcher can conclude that the proportion of iPod owners at the two venues is the same.

b. Because the center of the interval is -0.008, the researcher can conclude that a higher proportion of people at the rock concert own iPods than at the baseball game.

c. Because the confidence interval includes 0, the researcher cannot conclude that the proportion of iPod owners at the two venues is different.

d. Because the confidence interval includes more negative than positive values, the researcher can conclude that a higher proportion of people at the rock concert own iPods than at the baseball game.

e. The researcher cannot draw a conclusion about a claim without performing a significance test.

Suppose the null and alternative hypothesis for a significance test are defined as

H0: 渭=403051526=0.200=20.0%H0 : 渭=40

Ha: 渭<403051526=0.200=20.0%Ha : 渭<40

Which of the following specific values for Ha will give the highest power? a. 渭=383051526=0.200=20.0%=38

b. 渭=393051526=0.200=20.0%=39

c. 渭=413051526=0.200=20.0%=41

d. 渭=423051526=0.200=20.0%=42

e. 渭=43 3051526=0.200=20.0%=43
