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.

Have a ball! Can students throw a baseball farther than a softball? To find out, researchers conducted a study involving 24randomly selected students from a large high school. After warming up, each student threw a baseball as far as he or she could and threw a softball as far as he she could, in a random order. The distance in yards for each throw was recorded. Here are the data, along with the difference (Baseball 鈥� Softball) in distance thrown, for each student:

a. Explain why these are paired data.

b. A boxplot of the differences is shown. Explain how the graph gives some evidence that students like these can throw a baseball farther than a softball.

c. State appropriate hypotheses for performing a test about the true mean difference. Be sure to define any parameter(s) you use.

d. Explain why the Normal/Large Sample condition is not met in this case. The mean difference (Baseball鈭扴oftball) in distance thrown for these 24students is xdiff = 6.54yards. Is this a surprisingly large result if the null hypothesis is true? To find out, we can perform a simulation assuming that students have the same ability to throw a baseball and a softball. For each student, write the two distances thrown on different note cards. Shuffle the two cards and designate one distance to baseball and one distance to softball. Then subtract the two distances (Baseball鈭扴oftball) . Do this for all the students and find the simulated mean difference. Repeat many times. Here are the results of 100trials of this simulation

e. Use the results of the simulation to estimate the P-value. What conclusion would you draw ?

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 compare the average weight gain of pigs fed two different diets, nine pairs of pigs were used. The pigs in each pair were littermates. A coin toss was used to decide which pig in each pair got Diet A and which got Diet B.

b. Separate random samples of male and female college professors are taken. We wish to compare the average salaries of male and female teachers.

c. To test the effects of a new fertilizer, 100 plots are treated with the new fertilizer, and 100 plots are treated with another fertilizer. A computer鈥檚 random number generator is used to determine which plots get which fertilizer.

A quiz question gives random samples of n=10observations from each of two Normally distributed populations. Tom uses a table of t distribution critical values and 9degrees of freedom to calculate a 95%confidence interval for the difference in the two population means. Janelle uses her calculator's two-sample t Interval with 16.87degrees of freedom to compute the 95%confidence interval. Assume that both students calculate the intervals correctly. Which of the following is true?

(a) Tom's confidence interval is wider.

(b) Janelle's confidence Interval is wider.

(c) Both confidence Intervals are the same.

(d) There is insufficient information to determine which confidence interval is wider.

(e) Janelle made a mistake, degrees of freedom has to be a whole number.

Cockroaches The pesticide diazinon is commonly used to treat infestations of the German cockroach, Blattella germanica. A study investigated the persistence of this pesticide on various types of surfaces. Researchers applied a 0.5%emulsion of diazinon to glass and plasterboard. After 14days, they randomly assigned 72cockroaches to two groups of 36, placed one group on each surface, and recorded the number that died within 48hours. On glass, 18cockroaches died, while on plasterboard, 25died. Ifp1,p2

are the true proportions of cockroaches like these that would die within 48

hours on glass treated with diazinon and on plasterboard treated with diazinon,

respectively, check if the conditions for calculating a confidence interval for p1-p2are met.

Are teenagers going deaf? In a study of 3000randomly selected teenagers in 1990,450showed some hearing loss. In a similar study of 1800 teenagers reported in 2010,351showed some hearing loss.

a. Do these data give convincing evidence that the proportion of all teens with hearing

loss has increased at the 伪=0.01 significance level?

b. Interpret the P-value from part (a) in the context of this study.
