People were polled on how many books they read the previous year. Initial survey results indicate that sequals=14.5 books. Complete parts ​(a) through ​(d) below.

((Zα/2•s)/E)²

How many subjects are needed to estimate the mean number of books read the previous year within six books with 90% ​confidence?

((Zα/2•s)/E)² ((1.645•14.5)/6)=15.8 16

How many subjects are needed to estimate the mean number of books read the previous year within three books with 90% ​confidence?

((Zα/2•s)/E)² ((1.645•14.5/3)²=63.2 64

How many subjects are needed to estimate the mean number of books read the previous year within six books with 99​% ​confidence?

((Zα/2•s)/E)² ((2.58•14.5)/6)²=38.8 39

Calculate the sample mean for data set II.

Calculate the sample mean for data set I.

Calculate the sample mean for data set III.

​Suppose, in​ fact, that the proportion of students at the​ counselor's high school who use electronic cigarettes is 0.224. Was a type I or type II error​ committed?

A Type II error was committed because the sample evidence led the counselor to conclude the proportion of​ e-cig users was 0.099​, ​when, in​ fact, the proportion is higher.

Which​ intervals, if​ any, still capture the population​ mean, 100?

All of the sets

Compare the results to those obtained in part​ (a). How does decreasing the level of confidence affect the size of the margin of​ error, E? 105.5 112.5 106.8 111.2

As the percent confidence decreases, the size of the interval decreases.

How does decreasing the sample size affect the margin of​ error, E? 105.5 112.5 105 113

As the sample size decreases​, the margin of error increases.

What impact does the sample size n have on the width of the​ interval? 82.50 115.5 91.10 106.6 93.49 104.98

As the sample size​ increases, the width of the interval decreases.

What effect does doubling the required accuracy have on the sample​ size? 16 64

Doubling the required accuracy nearly quadruples the sample size.

According to the Centers for Disease Control and​ Prevention, 9.9​% of high school students currently use electronic cigarettes. A high school counselor is concerned the use of​ e-cigs at her school is higher. Complete parts​ (a) through​ (c) below. Determine the null and alternative hypotheses. H₀: H₁:

H₀:p=.099 H₁:p>.099

According to a food​ website, the mean consumption of popcorn annually by Americans is 55 quarts. The marketing division of the food website unleashes an aggressive campaign designed to get Americans to consume even more popcorn. Complete parts​ (a) through​ (c) below. Determine the null and alternative hypotheses. H₀: H₁:

H₀:µ=55 H₁:µ>55

Compare this result to part ​(a). How does increasing the level of confidence in the estimate affect sample​ size? Why is this​ reasonable? 16 39

Increasing the level of confidence increases the sample size required. For a fixed margin of​ error, greater confidence can be achieved with a larger sample size.

Could we have computed the confidence intervals in parts​ (a)-(c) if the population had not been normally​ distributed?

No, the population needs to be normally distributed.

A simple random sample of size n is drawn from a population that is normally distributed. The sample​ mean, µ​ is found to be 109, and the sample standard​ deviation, s, is found to be 10. Construct a 90% confidence interval about μ if the sample​ size, n, is 24.

A simple random sample of size n equals n=40 is drawn from a population. The sample mean is found to be x̄=120.9 and the sample standard deviation is found to be s=12.6. Construct a​ 99% confidence interval for the population mean. Lower and Upper Bound

A simple random sample of size n is drawn from a population that is normally distributed. The sample​ mean, µ​ is found to be 109, and the sample standard​ deviation, s, is found to be 10. Construct an 90% confidence interval about muμ if the sample​ size, n, is 19.

Stats Tests 8 Tinterval 105 113

A simple random sample of size n is drawn from a population that is normally distributed. The sample​ mean, µ​ is found to be 109, and the sample standard​ deviation, s, is found to be 10. Construct an 70% confidence interval about muμ if the sample​ size, n, is 24.

Suppose, in​ fact, the mean annual consumption of popcorn after the marketing campaign is 55 quarts. Has a Type I or Type II error been made by the marketing​ department? If we tested this hypothesis at the α=00.01 level of​ significance, what is the probability of committing this​ error? Select the correct choice below and fill in the answer box within your choice.

The marketing department committed a Type I error because the marketing department rejected the null hypothesis when it was true. The probability of making a Type I error is 0.01

Which of the following is the concept illustrated with the misentered​ data?

The procedure for constructing the confidence interval is robust. The larger the sample​ size, the more resistant the mean.​ Therefore, the confidence interval is more robust.

If the sample data indicate that the null hypothesis should not be​ rejected, state the conclusion of the high school counselor.

There is not sufficient evidence to conclude that the proportion of high school students exceeds 0.099 at this​ counselor's high school.

A sample of 846 Americans provides enough evidence to conclude that marketing campaign was effective. Provide a statement that should be put out by the marketing department.

There is sufficient evidence to conclude that the mean consumption of popcorn has risen.
