In interval estimation of a population parameter, increasing α would:   a increase the margin of sampling error, and make the interval estimate more precise. b reduce the margin of sampling error, and reduce the error probability.   c reduce the margin of sampling error, and reduce the confidence level.   d reduce the margin of sampling error, and make the interval estimate less precise.

The Grocery Manufacturers of America reported that 66.00% of consumers read the ingredients listed on a product's label. Assume the population proportion is p = 0.66 and a sample of 450 consumers is selected from the population. a. Show the sampling distribution of the sample proportion, where is the proportion of the sampled consumers who read the ingredients listed on a product's label. E(p) = (to 2 decimals) op= (to 4 decimals) b. What is the probability that the sample proportion will be within ±0.03 of the population proportion (to 4 decimals)? c. Answer part (b) for a sample of 660 (to 4 decimals).

In this problem, assume that the distribution of differences is approximately normal. Note: For degrees of freedom d.f. not in the Student's t table, use the closest d.f. that is smaller. In some situations, this choice of d.f. may increase the P-value by a small amount and therefore produce a slightly more "conservative" answer. Are America's top chief executive officers (CEOS) really worth all that money? One way to answer this question is to look at row B, the annual company percentage increase in revenue, versus row A, the CEO's annual percentage salary increase in that same company. Suppose a random sample of companies yielded the following data: B: Percent increase 24 22 18 18 6 4 21 37 for company A: Percent increase 22 30 23 14 -4 19 15 30 for CEO Do these data indicate that the population mean percentage increase in corporate revenue (row B) is different from the population mean percentage increase in CEO salary? Use a 5% level of significance. Solve the problem using the…

Determine the minimum sample size required when you want to be 95% confident that the sample mean is within one unit of the population mean and o=17.2. Assume the population is normally distributed

You wish to estimate, with 90% confidence, the proportion of camcorders that need repairs or have problems by the time the product is five years old. You estimate must be accurate within +4% of the true population. a. Find the minimum sample size if no preliminary estimate is provided. Minimum sample is type your answer... b.
