Chapter 8: Q 69. (page 542)

Bone loss by nursing mothers Breast-feeding mothers secrete calcium into

their milk. Some of the calcium may come from their bones, so mothers may lose bone mineral. Researchers measured the percent change in bone mineral content (BMC) of the spines of 47randomly selected mothers during three months of breast-feeding. The mean change in BMC was 鈭�3.587%and the standard deviation was 2.506%

a. Construct and interpret a 99%confidence interval to estimate the mean percent change in BMC in the population of breast-feeding mothers.

b. Based on your interval from part (a), do these data give convincing evidence that

nursing mothers lose bone mineral, on average? Explain your answer.

Short Answer

Expert verified

a. Confidence interval is (-4.569,-2.605)

b. No, it is due to the fact that interval do not have zero.

Step by step solution

01

Given Information

It is given that (x炉)=-3.587

(s)=2.506

Confidence Level =99%

n=47

02

Calculating Confidence Interval

Confidence mean is calculated as:

CI=x炉卤t伪/2脳sn

Output of MINTAB is as below:

Hence, there is 99%confidence that for breast feeding mothers, mean change in BMC lie between-4.569and-2.605.

03

Nursing Mothers are losing Bone Mineral or not.

The confidence interval is (-4.569,-2.605). It does not contain 0.

Hence, it is not concluded that they are losing bone mineral.

Gambling and the NCAA Gambling is an issue of great concern to those involved in college athletics. Because of this concern, the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) surveyed randomly selected student athletes concerning their gambling-related behaviors. Of the 5594Division Imale athletes who responded to the survey, 3547reported participation in some gambling behavior. This includes playing cards, betting on games of skill, buying lottery tickets, betting on sports, and similar activities. A report of this study cited a 1%margin of error.

a. The confidence level was not stated in the report. Use what you have learned to

estimate the confidence level, assuming that the NCAA took an SRS.

b. The study was designed to protect the anonymity of the student athletes who responded. As a result, it was not possible to calculate the number of students who were asked to respond but did not. How does this fact affect the way that you interpret the results?

A 90%confidence interval for the mean 渭 of a population is computed from a random sample and is found to be90卤30. Which of the following could be the 95%confidence interval based on the same data?

a. 90卤21

b. 90卤30

c. 90卤39

d. 90卤70

e. Without knowing the sample size, any of the above answers could be the 95%confidence interval.

The Gallup Poll interviews 1600 people. Of these, 18% say that they jog regularly. The news report adds: 鈥淭he poll had a margin of error of plus or minus three percentage points at a 95% confidence level.鈥� You can safely conclude that

a. 95% of all Gallup Poll samples like this one give answers within 卤3% of the true population value.

b. the percent of the population who jog is certain to be between 15% and 21%.

c. 95% of the population jog between 15% and 21% of the time.

d. we can be 95% confident that the sample proportion is captured by the confidence interval.

e. if Gallup took many samples, 95% of them would find that 18% of the people in the sample jog.

In a poll conducted by phone,

I. Some people refused to answer questions.

II. People without telephones could not be in the sample.

III. Some people never answered the phone in several calls.

Which of these possible sources of bias is included in the 卤2%margin of error announced for the poll?

a. I only

b. II only

c. III only

d. I, II, and III

e. None of these

Video games A Pew Research Center report on gamers and gaming

estimated that 49% of U.S. adults play video games on a computer, TV, game console, or portable device such as a cell phone. This estimate was based on a random sample of 2001 U.S. adults. Construct and interpret a 95% confidence interval for the proportion of all U.S. adults who play video games.
