- In the Star and Tribune newspaper, there is an article entitled “1 in 8 school buses fail tests." The article says that the overall statewide proportion of school buses that fail safety tests is 9%. However, one bus company has a higher rate of over 12%. Assume that we want a new estimate for the statewide proportion of school buses that fail the safety inspection. We take a sample of 200 buses and find that 20 buses fail the safety inspection. If we construct a 95% confidence interval estimate for the true proportion of all Minnesota school buses that fail the safety tests, what is the upper limit of the interval?

- A auto shop wants to examine the proportion of customers that have to return after an appointment. Last year, an examination of 264 customers found that 30.1% had to return after an appointment. You instituted some changes at the auto shop this year, and found from a sample of 326 customers that 22.4% had to return after an appointment. You want to conduct an analysis to determine if there has been an increase in the proportion of customers that need to return after an appointment since the past year, with a = 0. 10.

- Many fundraisers ask for donations using email and text messages. A paper describes an experiment to investigate whether the proportion of people who make a donation when asked for a donation by email is different from the proportion of people who make a donation when asked for a donation in a text message. In this experiment, 1.7% of those who received and opened an email request for a donation and 7.8% of those who received a text message asking for a donation actually made a donation. Assume that the people who received these requests were randomly assigned to one of the two groups (email or text message) and suppose that the given percentages are based on sample sizes of 2,000 (the actual sample sizes in the experiment were much larger). (Let p1 be the proportion who make a donation after receiving an email, and p2 be the proportion who make a donation after receiving a text message.) Find the test statistic and P-value.

- To determine the amount of sugar in a typical serving of breakfast cereal, a student randomly selected 60 boxes of different types of cereal from the shelves of a large grocery store. The student noticed that the side panels of some of the cereal boxes showed sugar content based on one-cup servings, while others showed sugar content based on three- quarter-cup servings. Many of the cereal boxes with side panels that showed three-quarter-cup servings were ones that appealed to young children, and the student wondered whether there might be some difference in the sugar content of the cereals that showed different-size servings on their side panels. To investigate the question, the data were separated into two groups. One group consisted of 29 cereals that showed one-cup serving sizes; the other group consisted of 31 cereals that showed three-quarter cup serving sizes. The boxplots shown below display sugar content (in grams) per serving of the cereals for each of the two serving sizes.…arrow_forwardIn a study of pain relievers, 25 people were given product A, and 17 experienced relief.
