A medical research team wanted to perform a statistical inference procedure to see if there is a difference in the proportion of people that report headache pain relief within 30 minutes of taking either acetaminophen or ibuprofen. Volunteers that suffer from regular headaches were split into tu groups: one who took acetaminophen at the onset of a headache and one group that took ibuprofen The proportion of those that reported relief within 30 minutes were counted and a 95% confidence interval for the true difference in proportion of pain relief was calculated. The interval was (-0.125, 0.083). Does this interval show evidence that there is a difference between the two medications? No; without knowing the sample size, no conclusion can be made. В No; since o is included in the interval, there is no evidence of a difference. C Yes; since o is included in the interval, there is proof of a difference. Yes; the interval shows that there is a difference since the values are more than 5%.

A newspaper article stated that the US Supreme Court received 812 letters from around the country on the subject of whether to ban cameras from the courtroom. Of these 812 letters, 800 expressed the opinion that cameras should be banned.

According to the website www.collegedrinkingprevention.gov, "About 25 percent of college students report academic consequences of their drinking including missing class, falling behind, doing poorly on exams or papers, and receiving lower grades overall." A statistics student is curious about drinking habits of students at his college. He wants to estimate the mean number of alcoholic drinks consumed each week by students at his college. He plans to use a 95% confidence interval. He surveys a random sample of 66 students. The sample mean is 3-75 alcoholic drinks per week. The sample standard deviation is 3.68 drinks. Construct the 95% confidence interval to estimate the average number of alcoholic drinks consumed each week by students at this college. Your answer should be rounded to 2 decimal places.
Ms. Rains believes more seniors from PLD plan to attend college than seniors at Lafayette. In a random sample of 35 PLD seniors, 21 responded they plan to attend college. In a random sample of 32 Lafayette seniors only 17 responded they plan to attend college. Using a 95% confidence interval, predict the true difference in the proportion of seniors at PLD and Lafayette who plan to attend college and comment on Ms. Rains' belief.

A sports news station wanted to know whether people who live in the North or the South are bigger sports fans. For its study, 121 randomly selected Southerners were surveyed and found to watch a mean of 4.6 hours of sports per week. In the North, 176 randomly selected people were surveyed and found to watch a mean of 3.2 hours of sports per week. Find a 90% confidence interval for the true difference between the mean numbers of hours of sports watched per week for the two regions if the South has a population standard deviation of 1.6 hours per week and the North has a population standard deviation of 1.4 hours per week. Let Population 1 be people who live in the South and Population 2 be people who live in the North. Round the endpoints of the interval to one decimal place, if necessary.
