A magazine provided results from a poll of 1500 adults who were asked to identify their favorite pie. Among the 1500 ​respondents, 12​% chose chocolate​ pie, and the margin of error was given as plus or minus5 percentage points. Given specific sample​ data, which confidence interval is​ wider: the 95​% confidence interval or the 80​% confidence​ interval? Why is it​ wider?

A 95​% confidence interval must be wider than an 80​% confidence interval in order to be more confident that it captures the true value of the population proportion.

FAIL to reject Upper H 0 because the​ P-value is greater than alpha. b. Without using technical​ terms, state a final conclusion that addresses the original claim. Which of the following is the correct​ conclusion? There is NOT sufficient evidence to support the claim that the percentage of adults that would erase all of their personal information online if they could is less than 44%.

Claim: The standard deviation of pulse rates of adult males is more than 12 bpm. For a random sample of 151 adult​ males, the pulse rates have a standard deviation of 12.6 bpm. a. Express the original claim in symbolic form. b. Identify the null and alternative hypotheses.

a. o>12 bpm b. o=12 o>12

Claim: Most adults would erase all of their personal information online if they could. A software firm survey of 824 randomly selected adults showed that 46% of them would erase all of their personal information online if they could a. Express the original claim in symbolic form. Let the parameter represent the adults that would erase their personal information. b. Identify the null and alternative hypotheses.

a. p<0.5 b. h0: p=0.5 h1: p<0.5

Claim: Most adults would erase all of their personal information online if they could. A software firm survey of 557 randomly selected adults showed that 61​% of them would erase all of their personal information online if they could a. Express the original claim in symbolic form. Let the parameter represent the adults that would erase their personal information. b. Identify the null and alternative hypotheses.

a. p>0.5 b. h0: p=0.5 h1: p> 0.5

Claim: Most adults would erase all of their personal information online if they could. A software firm survey of 629 randomly selected adults showed that 63% of them would erase all of their personal information online if they could a. Express the original claim in symbolic form. Let the parameter represent the adults that would erase their personal information. b. Identify the null and alternative hypotheses.

a. p>0.5 b. h0: p=0.5 h1: p> 0.5

Claim: The mean pulse rate​ (in beats per​ minute) of adult males is equal to 68.7 bpm. For a random sample of 167 adult​ males, the mean pulse rate is 68.5 bpm and the standard deviation is 11.2 bpm. Complete parts​ (a) and​ (b) below. a. Express the original claim in symbolic form. b. Identify the null and alternative hypotheses.

a. u=68.7 bpm b. h0; u=68.7 h1 does not equal 68.7

​Claim: Most adults would erase all of their personal information online if they could. A software firm survey of 504 randomly selected adults showed that 99.7​% of them would erase all of their personal information online if they could. Make a subjective estimate to decide whether the results are significantly low or significantly​ high, then state a conclusion about the original claim.

Assume a significance level of alpha equals 0.1 and use the given information to complete parts​ (a) and​ (b) below. Original​ claim: The mean pulse rate​ (in beats per​ minute) of a certain group of adult males is 71 bpm. The hypothesis test results in a​ P-value of 0.0027.

reject Upper H 0 because the​ P-value is less than or equal to alpha. There is sufficient evidence to warrant rejection of the claim that the mean pulse rate​ (in beats per​ minute) of the group of adult males is 71 bpm.

A programmer plans to develop a new software system . In planning for the operating system that he will use, he needs to estimate the percentage of computers that use a new operating system . How many computers must be surveyed in order to be 95 % confident that his estimate is in error by no more than three percentage points? Complete parts (a) through (c) below

​a) Assume that nothing is known about the percentage of computers with new operating E is 0.03 (1.96)^2(.25)/0.03^2 1068 B) 241

A programmer plans to develop a new software system. In planning for the operating system that he will​ use, he needs to estimate the percentage of computers that use a new operating system. How many computers must be surveyed in order to be 99​% confident that his estimate is in error by no more than two percentage points question mark Complete parts​ (a) through​ (c) below.

​a) Assume that nothing is known about the percentage of computers with new operating systems. n = 4147 b) Assume that a recent survey suggests that about 98​% of computers use a new operating system. n = 326 c) Does the additional survey information from part​ (b) have much of an effect on the sample size that is​ required? Yes, using the additional survey information from part​ (b) dramatically reduces the sample size.
