Women | Men | |
---|---|---|
Sample | 150 | 170 |
Trust Recommendations Made on the social networking site |
123 | 102 |
(a)
What is the point estimate of the proportion of women who trust recommendations made on this particular social networking site?
(b)
What is the point estimate of the proportion of men who trust recommendations made on this particular social networking site?
(c)
Provide a 95% confidence interval estimate of the difference between the proportion of women and men who trust recommendations made on this particular social networking site. (Round your answers to four decimal places.)

- When I was an undergraduate, I helped my father conduct some Child Psychology research about parental influence on gender bias. In this study we interviewed 158 kindergarteners. Our initial question was "What is your favorite color?" where we studied the distribution of "Pink" and "Blue" responses. To our surprise, 38 of the students interviewed responded "Turquoise". Use this information to select the response which correctly answers the question. Being curious, we decided to further interview the children who responded "Turquoise". While he took a lunch break, he told me to select 5 such children to form a group for interviews. How many different possible groups could I have formed?

- Researchers studied a group of 30 “self-designated worriers” (i.e. individuals who reported spending at least 10% of the day worrying) and who were over the age of 70 (mean age of 78.1). The researcher randomly assigned the worriers into three groups. For the next four weeks, each group would experience a different approach to handling worry. One group engaged in a worry-focus discussion group. The second group members enjoyed individual therapy. The third group went for daily walks in the park. Data was collected, analyzed, and interpreted.
