Facebook As part of the Pew Internet and American Life Project, researchers conducted two surveys. The first survey asked a random sample of 1060U.S. teens about their use of social media. A second survey posed similar questions to a random sample of 2003U.S. adults. In these two studies, 71.0%of teens and 58.0%of adults used Facebook. Let plocalid="1654194806576" T3051526=0.200=20.0%pT= the true proportion of all U.S. teens who use Facebook and pA3051526=0.200=20%pA = the true proportion of all U.S. adults who use Facebook. Calculate and interpret a 99%confidence interval for the difference in the true proportions of U.S. teens and adults who use Facebook.

Short Answer

Expert verified

We are 99%confident that the true proportion of U.S. teens who use Facebook is between 0.0842 and 0.1758 higher than the true proportion of U.S. adults who use Facebook.

Step by step solution

01

Given information

We have given

n1= Sample size = 1060

p^1= Sample proportion = 71.0%= 0.710

n2= Sample size = 2003

p^2= Sample proportion = 58.0%= 0.580

c = confidence level = 99%= 0.99

Now we will the conditions for the calculation of hypothesis test for the population proportion p i.e. Random, Independent, Normal.

Randon: As samples are random, hense satisfied.

Independent: Samples are independent as well because 1060U.S. teens are less than 10%of all U.S. teens and the 2003U.S. adults are less than 10%of all U.S. adults.

Normal: n1p^1= 1060(0.710)=752.6, n1(1-p^1)=1060(1-0.710)=307.4, n2p^2=2003(0.580)=1161.74, n2(1-p^2)=2003(1-0.580)=841.26

all values are less than 10. Hence, satisfied.

As all the conditions satisfies, we will determine confience level for p1-p2

02

Confidence Level

Given Confidence level 1-=0.99,

we determine z2=z0.005using normal probability table, we get

z2=2.575

Now,

Margin of error, E = z2.p^1(1-p^1)n1+p^2(1-p^2)n2=2.5750.710(1-0.710)1060+0.580(1-0.580)20030.0458

Endpoints for the confidence level are now:

(p^1-p^2)-E=(0.710-0.580)-0.0458=0.130-0.04580.0842(p^1-p^2)+E=(0.710-0.580)+0.0458=0.130+0.04580.1758

Therefore, we are99% confident that the trye proportion of U.S. teens who use Facebook is between 0.0842and 0.1758higher than the true proportion of U.S. adults who use Facebook.

A study of the impact of caffeine consumption on reaction time was designed to correct for the impact of subjects鈥 prior sleep deprivation by dividing the 24subjects into 12pairs on the basis of the average hours of sleep they had had for the previous 5 nights. That is, the two with the highest average sleep were a pair, then the two with the next highest average sleep, and so on. One randomly assigned member of each pair drank 2cups of caffeinated coffee, and the other drank 2cups of decaf. Each subject鈥檚 performance on a Page Number: 690standard reaction-time test was recorded. Which of the following is the correct check of the 鈥淣ormal/Large Sample鈥 condition for this significance test?

I. Confirm graphically that the scores of the caffeine drinkers could have come from a Normal distribution.

II. Confirm graphically that the scores of the decaf drinkers could have come from a Normal distribution.

III. Confirm graphically that the differences in scores within each pair of subjects could have come from a Normal distribution.

a. I only

b. II only

c. III only

d. I and II only

e. I, I, and III

A large university is considering the establishment of a schoolwide recycling program. To gauge interest in the program by means of a questionnaire, the university takes separate random samples of undergraduate students, graduate students, faculty, and staff.

b. Stratified random sample

c. Convenience sample

d. Cluster sample

e. Randomized block design

Ban junk food! A CBS News poll asked 606 randomly selected women and 442

randomly selected men, 鈥淒o you think putting a special tax on junk food would encourage more people to lose weight?鈥 170 of the women and 102 of the men said 鈥淵es.鈥 A 99% confidence interval for the difference (Women 鈥 Men) in the true proportion of people in each population who would say 鈥淵es鈥 is 鈭0.020to0.120. Does the confidence interval provide convincing evidence that the two population proportions are equal? Explain your answer.

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 虅1鈭抶 虅2 be the

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