Chapter 8: Q 32. (page 522)

Whelks and mussels The small round holes you often see in seashells were drilled by other sea creatures, who ate the former dwellers of the shells. Whelks often drill into mussels, but this behavior appears to be more or less common in different locations. Researchers collected whelk eggs from the coast of Oregon, raised the whelks in the laboratory, then put each whelk in a container with some delicious mussels. Only9 of 98 whelks drilled into a mussel.

Short Answer

Expert verified

The conditions which are not satisfied are random sample and large count.

Step by step solution

01

Given Information

It is given that n=98

The population is of all whelks.

02

Explanation

  • Selection of whelk eggs is done from coast of Oregon. Hence, whelk does not represent all whelk eggs which is not random sample. Condition of random sample is not met.
  • 98whelks is less than10% of all the whelks. Condition is satisfied.
  • Number of success is 9<10and failures are 98-9=89鈮�10. Hence condition success and failure should be 鈮�10is not satisfied.

Therefore, condition for confidence interval is not met.

t time When constructing confidence intervals for a population mean, we almost always use critical values from a t distribution rather than the standard Normal distribution.

a. When is it necessary to use a t critical value rather than a z critical value when constructing a confidence interval for a population means?

b. For a particular level of confidence, explain what happens to the t critical values as Page Number: 548 the degrees of freedom increase.

Got shoes? The class in Exercise 1 wants to estimate the variability in the number of pairs

of shoes that female students have by estimating the population standard deviation 蟽.

Scientists collect data on the blood cholesterol levels (milligrams per deciliter of blood) of a random sample of 24laboratory rats. A 95%confidence interval for the mean blood cholesterol level 渭is 80.2to 89.8. Which of the following would cause the most worry about the validity of this interval?

a. There is a clear outlier in the data.

b. A stem plot of the data shows a mild right skew.

c. You do not know the population standard deviation 蟽.

d. The population distribution is not exactly Normal.

e. None of these are a problem when using a t interval.

Willows in Yellowstone Writers in some fields summarize data by giving x 虅 and its

standard error rather than x炉andSX.Biologists studying willow plants in Yellowstone National Park reported their results in a table with columns labeled x炉andSX The table entry for the heights of willow plants (in centimeters) in one region of the park was 61.55卤19.03. The researchers measured a total of 23plants.

a. Find the sample standard deviation sxfor these measurements.

b. A hasty reader believes that the interval given in the table is a 95% confidence interval for the mean height of willow plants in this region of the park. Find the actual confidence level for the given interval.

You have measured the systolic blood pressure of an SRS of 25company employees. A 95%confidence interval for the mean systolic blood pressure for the employees of this company is (122,138). Which of the following statements is true?

a. 95%of the sample of employees have a systolic blood pressure between 122 and 138.

b. 95%of the population of employees have a systolic blood pressure between 122and138.

c. If the procedure were repeated many times, 95%of the resulting confidence intervals would contain the population mean systolic blood pressure.

d. If the procedure were repeated many times, 95%of the time the population mean systolic blood pressure would be between 122and 138.

e. If the procedure were repeated many times, 95%of the time the sample mean systolic blood pressure would be between 122and138.
