Reporting cheating What proportion of students are willing to report cheating by other students? A student project put this question to an SRS of 172172undergraduates at a large university: 鈥淵ou witness two students cheating on a quiz. Do you go to the professor?鈥� Only 19answered 鈥淵es.鈥� Assume the conditions for inference are met.

a. Determine the critical valueZ*for a 96%confidence interval for a proportion.

b. Construct a 96%confidence interval for the proportion of all undergraduates at this university who would go to the professor.

c. Interpret the interval from part (b).

Short Answer

Expert verified

a. The critical value iszc=za/2critical value=2.04

b. 96%confidence interval for proportion is 0.0617<p<0.1593

c. True population proportion is between0.0617and0.1593

Step by step solution

01

Given Information

It is given that x=19

n=172

Confidence Level =0.98

Level of significancea=0.04

02

Critical Value

Using Excel Formula

Using EXCEL FORMULA=ABS(NORMSINV(0.04/2))ZC=Za/2critical value=2.04

03

Constructing Confidence Interval

Sample Proportion p^=xn

p^=19172=0.1105

Margin of Error E=Z伪/2脳p^(1-p^)n

E=2.04脳0.1105(1-0.1105)172=0.0488

The confidence interval is (p^-E,p^+E)

(0.1105-0.0488,0.1105+0.0488)=(0.0617,0.1593)

The 96%confidence interval for population proportion is50.0617<p<0.1593

04

Interpreting Confidence Interval

There is 0.0617<p<0.1593confidence that correct population of all UG at this university going to professor lie between 0.0617and0.1593

Reading scores in Atlanta The Trial Urban District Assessment (TUDA) is a

government-sponsored study of student achievement in large urban school districts. TUDA gives a reading test scored from 0to 500. A score of 243is a 鈥渂asic鈥� reading level and a score of 281is 鈥減roficient.鈥� Scores for a random sample of 1470eighth-graders in Atlanta had a mean of 240with standard deviation of 42.17.

a. Construct and interpret a 99%confidence interval for the mean reading test score of all Atlanta eighth-graders.

b. Based on your interval from part (a), is there convincing evidence that the mean reading test score for all Atlanta eighth-graders is less than the basic level? Explain your answer.

Fruit fly thorax lengths Fruit flies are used frequently in genetic research because of their quick reproductive cycle. The length of the thorax (in millimeters) was measured for each fly in a random sample of 49male fruit flies. The mean length was x炉=0.8004mm, with a standard deviation of sX=0.0782mmmm. Construct and interpret a 90%confidence interval for the true mean thorax length of a male fruit fly.
