Question
Next, we will examine an entirely different question. Do the states that voted for McCain have a different average percent of heavy drinkers than the states that voted for Obama in the 2008 election.
1. Based on the p-value, what decision would you make? Summarize your conclusions.
2. This table also gives a 95% confidence interval for the difference. Report the confidence interval and interpret it.

- (i'll upvote) 1. Which is more informative: confidence intervals or significance tests? A.Significance tests, because they use a P-value. B. Significance tests, because they compare two hypotheses. C. Confidence intervals, because they estimate the population parameter. D. Confidence intervals, because they use sample information.arrow_forwardBriefly describe the relationship between confidence interval and hypothesis testing.arrow_forwardExample: You would like to construct a 90% confidence interval for the proportion of graduating seniors that go directly on to graduate school. You randomly sample 386 graduating seniors and find that 73 will be enrolling in graduate school in the upcoming semester. 1. What is your point estimate? 2. Construct a 90% confidence interval for the true proportion of graduating seniors that go directly on to graduate school? 3.How many graduating seniors will you have to sample to have a margin of error within 2%?arrow_forward
- You want to determine if the proportion of people who will vote for the president next year has increased due to current events. You take a simple random sample of 1100 individuals and find that 897 of them said that they will be voting in the election. Construct a 95% confidence interval, by hand (mean using the equations in the section). Show your work. And then write the conclusion to the confidence interval (follow the examples in the modules) in a complete sentence.arrow_forwardhelp 1arrow_forwardNeed asap. A magazine article conducted a survey of 1000 people in Washington State and found that 26% of the population believe that Mount Saint Helens will have a repeat erruption this year. In the accompanying dialogue, the article states, we are 90% confident that the true proportion of people in Washington State who believe that Mount Saint Helens will have a repeat erruption this year lies between 23% and 29% . What does 90% represent in the article?A. a confidence intervalB. a confidence levelC. a margin of errorD. a statisticE. a parameterarrow_forward
- Treating the 2015 Tobacco rate data as a sample, construct a 95% confidence interval for the mean tobacco rate for males and for females. Interpret each interval. Does it appear that males use tobacco at a higher rate than females? Justify your answer, using the confidence intervals in your explanation. Construct the same confidence interval for males at the 99% confidence level. Compare to the male 95% confidence interval from the previous question. What happened to the interval when the confidence level increased? Explain why. Prevalence of smoking any tobacco product among persons aged >= 15 years Male 2015 Prevalence of smoking any tobacco product among persons aged >= 15 years Female 2015 51.2 7.6 37.2 27.8 29.5 18.4 52.3 1.5 16.7 13.1 35.5 34.8 46.5 0.4 48.8 7.6 39.8 0.7 13.1 0.9 46.2 10.6 26.5 20 17.7 1 30.5 17.1 47.2 30 19.3 11.3 29.3 3.1 42.4 28.2 36 4.5 22.2 3.5 44.1 2.8…arrow_forwardA professor is interested in how attendance influences her class.

- Report an appropriate hypothesis test for a positive linear relationship and use a 5% significance level. Explain the potential error in words, in context. In the answer options below I have used the phrase “a certain relationship” because I don’t want to give away exactly what type of relationship it is. Group of answer choices We would be accepting that there was a certain relationship between Sale amount and Tip when actually there wasn’t. We would not be accepting that there was a certain relationship between Sale amount and Tip when indeed there wasn’t. We would not be accepting that there was a certain relationship between Sale amount and Tip when actually there was. We would be accepting that there was a certain relationship between Sale amount and Tip when indeed there was.arrow_forwardA random sample of 40 12th-grade students was asked how long it took to get to school. The sample mean was 15.5 minutes and the sample standard deviation was 12.7 minutes. a. Find a 95% confidence interval for the population mean time it takes 12th-grade students to get to school. b. Would a 90% confidence interval based on this sample data be wider or narrower than the 95% confidence interval? Explain. Check your answer by constructing a 90% confidence interval and comparing the width of the interval with the width of the 95% confidence interval you found in part (a). a. The 95% confidence interval is from minutes to minutes. (Round to two decimal places as needed. Use ascending order.) b. Would a 90% confidence interval based on this sample be wider or narrower than the 95% confidence interval? O A. The 90% interval is wider because it has a lower confidence level, and therefore uses a smaller critical value, which creates a wider interval. O B. The 90% interval is wider because it…arrow_forwardExplain also how you use Z table ..arrow_forward
