Chapter 8: Q 33. (page 522)

The 10%condition When constructing a confidence interval for a population proportion, we check that the sample size is less than 10%of the population size.

a. Why is it necessary to check this condition?

b. What happens to the capture rate if this condition is violated?

Short Answer

Expert verified

a. If sample size is less than 10%of population, observations are closer to independent.

b. The confidence interval will be inaccurate.

Step by step solution

01

Given Information

When constructing a confidence interval for a population proportion, it is checked that sample size is less than 10% of population size.

02

Necessity of this Condition

This condition is important due to the the fact that when sample size is less than 10%of population size, observations are closer to independent.

If this requirement is not met, it is not possible to calculate standard deviation of distribution.

03

If Population Size is not less than 10%

If this requirement is not met, it is not possible to calculate standard deviation of distribution correctly.

If standard deviation is not correct, confidence level will be inaccurate. There are less chances to obtain population parameter in confidence interval.

10Bottling cola A particular type of diet cola advertises that each can contains 12 ounces of the beverage. Each hour, a supervisor selects cans at random, measures their contents, and computes a 95%confidence interval for the true mean volume. For one particular hour, the 95%confidence interval is 11.97ounces to 12.05ounces.

a. Does the confidence interval provide convincing evidence that the true mean volume is different than 12ounces? Explain your answer.

b. Does the confidence interval provide convincing evidence that the true mean volume is 12ounces? Explain your answer.

Employment in CaliforniaEach month the government releases unemployment

statistics. The stated unemployment rate doesn鈥檛 include people who choose not to be employed, such as retirees. Based on a random sample of 1000California adults, a 99%confidence interval for the proportion of all California adults employed in the workforce is 0.532to0.612.

a. Interpret the confidence level.

b. Name two things you could do to reduce the margin of error. What drawbacks do these actions have?

c. Describe how untruthful answers might lead to bias in this survey. Does the stated margin of error account for this possible bias?

Power lines and cancer Does living near power lines cause leukemia in

children? The National Cancer Institute spent 5years and $5million gathering data on this question. The researchers compared 638children who had leukemia with 620who did not. They went into the homes and measured the magnetic fields in children鈥檚 bedrooms, in other rooms, and at the front door. They recorded facts about power lines near the family home and also near the mother鈥檚 residence when she was pregnant. Result: No association between leukemia and exposure to magnetic fields of the kind produced by power lines was found.

a. Was this an observational study or an experiment? Justify your answer.

b. Does this study prove that living near power lines doesn鈥檛 cause cancer? Explain your answer.

BlinkWhen two lights close together blink alternately, we 鈥渟ee鈥� one light moving back and forth if the time between blinks is short. What is the longest interval of time between blinks that preserves the illusion of motion? Ask subjects to turn a knob that slows the blinking until they 鈥渟ee鈥� two lights rather than one light moving. A report gives the results in the form 鈥渕ean plus or minus the standard error of the mean.鈥� Data for 12subjects are summarized as 251卤45(in milliseconds).

a. Find the sample standard deviation SXfor these measurements.

b. A hasty reader believes that the interval given in the report is a 95%confidence interval for the population mean. Find the actual confidence level for the given interval.

Do you go to church? The Gallup Poll plans to ask a random sample of adults

whether they attended a religious service in the last 7 days. How large a sample would be required to obtain a margin of error of at most 0.01 in a 99% confidence interval for the population proportion who would say that they attended a religious service?
