Chapter 10: Q. T10.8 (page 699)

An SRS of size 100is taken from Population A with proportion 0.8of successes. An independent SRS of size 400is taken from Population B with proportion 0.5of successes. The sampling distribution of the difference (A 鈭� B) in sample proportions has what mean and standard deviation?

a. mean=0.3; standard deviation =1.3

b. mean=0.3; standard deviation =0.40

c. mean=0.3; standard deviation =0.047

d. mean=0.3; standard deviation =0.0022

e. mean=0.3; standard deviation =0.0002

Short Answer

Expert verified

Option (c) mean =0.3; standard deviation =0.047

Step by step solution

01

Given information

We need to find mean and standard deviation for the (A - B).

02

Simplify

As given in the question :

p1^=0.8n1=100p2^=0.5n2=400

Mean 渭=p1^-p2^=0.8-0.5=0.3

Standard deviation :

蟽=p1^(1-p1^)n1+p2^(1-p2^)n2=0.8(1-0.8)100+0.5(1-0.5)400=0.047

Therefore, option(c) is correct.

Most popular questions from this chapter

Two samples or paired data? In each of the following settings, decide whether you should use two-sample t procedures to perform inference about a difference in means or paired t procedures to perform inference about a mean difference. Explain your choice.

a. To test the wear characteristics of two tire brands, A and B, each of 50cars of the same make and model is randomly assigned Brand A tires or Brand B tires.

b. To test the effect of background music on productivity, factory workers are observed. For one month, each subject works without music. For another month, the subject works while listening to music on an MP3 player. The month in which each subject listens to music is determined by a coin toss.

c. How do young adults look back on adolescent romance? Investigators interviewed a random sample of 40couples in their mid-twenties. The female and male partners were interviewed separately. Each was asked about his or her current relationship and also about a romantic relationship that lasted at least 2months when they were aged 15or 16. One response variable was a measure on a numerical scale of how much the attractiveness of the adolescent partner mattered. You want to find out how much men and women differ on this measure.

A 96% confidence interval for the proportion of the labor force that is unemployed in a certain city is (0.07,0.10). Which of the following statements is true?

a. The probability is 0.96 that between 7%and10% of the labor force is unemployed.

b. About 96% of the intervals constructed by this method will contain the true proportion of the labor force that is unemployed in the city.

c. In repeated samples of the same size, there is a 96% chance that the sample proportion will fall between 0.07and0.10.

d. The true rate of unemployment in the labor force lies within this interval 96% of the time.

e. Between 7%and10%of the labor force is unemployed 96% of the time.

Which of the following is not a property of a binomial setting?

a. Outcomes of different trials are independent.

b. The chance process consists of a fixed number of trials, n.

c. The probability of success is the same for each trial.

d. Trials are repeated until a success occurs.

e. Each trial can result in either a success or a failure.

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.

Which of the following statements is false?

a. A measure of center alone does not completely summarize a distribution of quantitative data.

b. If the original measurements are in inches, converting them to centimeters will not change the mean or standard deviation.

c. One of the disadvantages of a histogram is that it doesn鈥檛 show each data value.

d. In a quantitative data set, adding a new data value equal to the mean will decrease the standard deviation.

e. If a distribution of quantitative data is strongly skewed, the median and interquartile range should be reported rather than the mean and standard deviation.
