Assume that 24.5% of people have sleepwalked. Assume that in a random sample of 1478 adults, 369 have sleepwalked. a. Assuming that the rate of 24.5% is correct, find the probability that 369 or more of the 1478 adults have sleepwalked.

b. Is that result of 369 or more significantly high? c. What does the result suggest about the rate of 24.5%?​

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

a) 0.3483 = 34.83% probability that 369 or more of the 1478 adults have sleepwalked.

b) 369 < 403.4, which means that 369 is less than 2.5 standard deviations above the mean, and thus, a result of 369 is not significantly high.

c) Since the sample result is not significant, it suggests that the rate of 24.5% is a good estimate for the percentage of people that have sleepwalked.

Step-by-step explanation:

We use the normal approximation to the binomial to solve this question.

Binomial probability distribution

Probability of exactly x sucesses on n repeated trials, with p probability.

Can be approximated to a normal distribution, using the expected value and the standard deviation.

The expected value of the binomial distribution is:

[tex]E(X) = np[/tex]

The standard deviation of the binomial distribution is:

[tex]\sqrt{V(X)} = \sqrt{np(1-p)}[/tex]

A result is considered significantly high if it is more than 2.5 standard deviations above the mean.

Normal probability distribution

Problems of normally distributed distributions can be solved using the z-score formula.

In a set with mean [tex]\mu[/tex] and standard deviation [tex]\sigma[/tex], the zscore of a measure X is given by:

[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the pvalue, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

When we are approximating a binomial distribution to a normal one, we have that [tex]\mu = E(X)[/tex], [tex]\sigma = \sqrt{V(X)}[/tex].

Assume that 24.5% of people have sleepwalked.

This means that [tex]p = 0.245[/tex]

Sample of 1478 adults:

This means that [tex]n = 1478[/tex]

Mean and standard deviation:

[tex]\mu = 1478*0.245 = 362.11[/tex]

[tex]\sigma = \sqrt{1478*0.245*0.755} = 16.5346[/tex]

a. Assuming that the rate of 24.5% is correct, find the probability that 369 or more of the 1478 adults have sleepwalked.

Using continuity correction, this is [tex]P(X \geq 369 - 0.5) = P(X \geq 368.5)[/tex], which is 1 subtracted by the p-value of Z when X = 368.5.

[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]

[tex]Z = \frac{368.5 - 362.11}{16.5346}[/tex]

[tex]Z = 0.39[/tex]

[tex]Z = 0.39[/tex] has a p-value of 0.6517

1 - 0.6517 = 0.3483

0.3483 = 34.83% probability that 369 or more of the 1478 adults have sleepwalked.

b. Is that result of 369 or more significantly high?

362.11 + 2.5*16.5346 = 403.4

369 < 403.4, which means that 369 is less than 2.5 standard deviations above the mean, and thus, a result of 369 is not significantly high.

c. What does the result suggest about the rate of 24.5%?

Since the sample result is not significant, it suggests that the rate of 24.5% is a good estimate for the percentage of people that have sleepwalked.

Answers

Answer:

  A  x = 15

Step-by-step explanation:

Lines AB and CD being perpendicular means the angles where they meet are all 90°. The diagonal line divides two of those 90° angles into two parts (each). The whole (90°) is the sum of the parts into which the angle has been divided.

The sum of angles 3 and 4 is 90°. Once you understand this relationship, you can write an equation based on the relationship. The equation can be solved in the usual way.

  (4x +4)° +26° = 90°

  4x = 60 . . . . . . . . . . . . divide by °, subtract 30

  x = 15 . . . . . . . . . . divide by 4

People who experience online harassment either ignore it or respond via postings or involving authorities Is one method more effective than the other? A 2014 Pew Research Center report, based on a random sample of American adults, found that 412 of the 549 respondents who had chosen to ignore online harassment thought that it was an effective way to deal with the issue. Of the 368 respondents who had chosen to respond to online harassment, 305 thought that it had been effective A.

Required:
a. Is there good evidence that one approach is more likely to be effective than the other? State the null and alternative hypotheses, obtain the test statistic and P-value, and conclude in context.
b. How large is the difference? Obtain and interpret in context a 95% confidence interval for the difference between the proportions of American adults who find ignoring online harassment effective and those who find responding to it effective.
c. How effective is that best method? Obtain and interpret in context a 95% confidence interval for theproportion of American adults who find the best m ethod effective.

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

First method information:

Sample size  n₁  = 549

x₁ ( people ignoring on-line harassment )  =  412

Proportion of people ignoring on-line harassment  p₁

p₁ =  412/549   p₁  =  0,75   q₁ =  1  -  p₁    q₁ = 0,25

Second method ( people chosen to respond)

Sample size   n₂  =  368

number of people responding   x₂  = 305

Proportion of people responding

p₂ =  305/ 368    p₂ =  0,83   then  q₂  =  0,17

a) Looking for differences in the approachs

Hypothesis test:

Null Hypothesis                     H₀         p₁  =  p₂

Alternative Hypothesis         Hₐ         p₁  ≠  p₂

Alternative Hypothesis indicates that the test is a two-tail test

Choosing a confidence interval  CI = 95 % then a significance level is       α = 5%     α  = 0,05  and from z-table we get  z(c) =  1.64

To calculate z(s)

z(s)  =  (  p₁  -  p₂ ) / EED

EED = √  p₁*q₁)/n₁  +  (p₂*q₂)n₂

EED = √  (0,75*0,25)/549   +  0,83*0,17)/368

EED = √ 3,41 *10⁻⁴   +  3,83*10⁻⁴

EED =   10⁻² *√ 3,41 + 3,83

EED =   10⁻² * 2,69

EED = 0,0269

z(s)  =  (  p₁  -  p₂ )/0,0269

z(s)  = -  0,08 / 0,0269

z(s)  =  - 2,97

p-value for z(s)  is  pvalue  = 0,0015

Comparing  z(s)  and  z(c)   modules

z(s) > z(c)  therefor z(s) is in the rejection region we have to reject H₀ and claim that there is a difference between the proportions

Answers

Answer:

(29-23)²/23 + (16-23)²/23 + (19-23)²/23 + (28-23)²/23

Step-by-step explanation:

The Consumer Reports National Research Center conducted a telephone survey of 2,000 adults to learn about the major economic concerns for the future. The survey results showed that 1,740 of the respondents think the future health of Social Security is a major economic concern.

Required:
a. What is the point estimate of the population proportion of adults who think the future health of Social Security is a major economic concern.
b. At 90% confidence, what is the margin of error?
c. Develop a 90% confidence interval for the population proportion of adults who think the future health of Social Security is a major economic concern.
d. Develop a 95% confidence interval for this population proportion.

Answers

Answer:

a. 0.87

b. The margin of error is of 0.0124.

c. The 90% confidence interval for the population proportion of adults who think the future health of Social Security is a major economic concern is (0.8576, 0.8824).

d. The 95% confidence interval for this population proportion is (0.8553, 0.8847).

Step-by-step explanation:

In a sample with a number n of people surveyed with a probability of a success of [tex]\pi[/tex], and a confidence level of [tex]1-\alpha[/tex], we have the following confidence interval of proportions.

[tex]\pi \pm z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}}[/tex]

In which

z is the z-score that has a p-value of [tex]1 - \frac{\alpha}{2}[/tex].

The margin of error is of:

[tex]M = z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}}[/tex]

The confidence interval is:

[tex]\pi \pm M[/tex]

a. What is the point estimate of the population proportion of adults who think the future health of Social Security is a major economic concern.

The sample proportion, that is, 1740 out of n = 2000. So

[tex]\pi = \frac{1740}{2000} = 0.87[/tex]

0.87 is the point estimate.

b. At 90% confidence, what is the margin of error?

90% confidence level

So [tex]\alpha = 0.1[/tex], z is the value of Z that has a p-value of [tex]1 - \frac{0.1}{2} = 0.95[/tex], so [tex]Z = 1.645[/tex].

Then the margin of error is of:

[tex]M =  z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}}[/tex]

[tex]M =  1.645\sqrt{\frac{0.87*0.13}{2000}}[/tex]

[tex]M = 0.0124[/tex]

The margin of error is of 0.0124.

c. Develop a 90% confidence interval for the population proportion of adults who think the future health of Social Security is a major economic concern

[tex]\pi - M = 0.87 - 0.0124 = 0.8576[/tex]

[tex]\pi + M = 0.87 + 0.0124 = 0.8824[/tex]

The 90% confidence interval for the population proportion of adults who think the future health of Social Security is a major economic concern is (0.8576, 0.8824).

d.

95% confidence level

So [tex]\alpha = 0.05[/tex], z is the value of Z that has a p-value of [tex]1 - \frac{0.05}{2} = 0.975[/tex], so [tex]Z = 1.96[/tex].

Then the margin of error is of:

[tex]M =  z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}}[/tex]

[tex]M =  1.96\sqrt{\frac{0.87*0.13}{2000}}[/tex]

[tex]M = 0.0147[/tex]

The confidence interval will be of:

[tex]\pi - M = 0.87 - 0.0147 = 0.8553[/tex]

[tex]\pi + M = 0.87 + 0.0147 = 0.8847[/tex]

The 95% confidence interval for this population proportion is (0.8553, 0.8847).

The mayor of a large city will run for governor if he believes that more than 30 percent of the voters in the state already support him. He will have a survey firm ask a random sample of n voters whether or not they support him. He will use a large sample test for proportions to test the null hypothesis that the proportion of all voters who support him is 30 percent or less against the alternative that the percentage is higher than 30 percent. Suppose that 35 percent of all voters in the state actually support him. In which of the following situations would the power for this test be highest?

a. The mayor uses a significance level of 0.01 and n = 250 voters.
b. The mayor uses a significance level of 0.01 and n = 500 voters.
c. The mayor uses a significance level of 0.01 and n = 1,000 voters.
d. The mayor uses a significance level of 0.05 and n = 500 voters.
e. The mayor uses a significance level of 0.05 and n = 1,000 voters.

Answers

Answer:

e. The mayor uses a significance level of 0.05 and n = 1,000 voters.

Step-by-step explanation:

Power of a test:

For a high power of a test, two conditions are needed:

Large significance level.

Large sample.

In this question:

A significance level of 0.05 will lead to a higher power than a significance level of 0.01, which means that the answer is between options d and e.

A test with a sample of 1000 has a higher power than a test with a sample of 500, and thus, the answer is given by option e.
