Question
Suppose that we are interested in hypothesis testing and confidence intervals for a single proportion. Explain why it is possible for the conclusion of a hypothesis test done at significance level 0.05 to be different from the inference drawn from a 95% confidence interval that is constructed from the same data used to conduct the test.

- Provide an explanation as to why it would be very unlikely that a different sample of size n=30 would produce the same confidence interval.arrow_forwardNina would like to estimate the difference in the mean amount of time students spend on math homework at her public school versus her cousin Sharon’s private school. To do so, each girl selects a random sample of 30 students from their large schools and asks the selected students how much time they spent doing math homework the previous night. Nina and Sharon would like to construct a 90% confidence interval for the true difference in the population means. Are the conditions for inference met? Yes, all three conditions for inference are met. No, the random condition is not met for both samples. No, the 10% condition is not met for both samples. No, the Normal/large sample condition is not met for both samples.arrow_forwardSuppose a 90 percent confidence interval to estimate a population proportion was calculated from a sample proportion of 18 percent and a margin of error of 4 percent.

- The Martin County Health Department needs to estimate the proportion of all children in the county aged 19-35 months that are completely up to date with all state-recommended immunizations. The Martin County Health Department found that 88% of a random sample of children in the county aged 19-35 months were completely up to date with all state-recommended immunizations. Find three different confidence intervals - one with sample size 228, one with sample size 402, and one with sample size 658. Assume that 88% of the children each sample are completely up to date with all state recommended immunizations. Observe how the sample size affects the margin of error and subsequently the width of each interval. Report confidence interval solutions using interval notation. Report all solutions in percent form, rounded to two decimal places, if necessary. • When n = 228, the margin of error for a 95% confidence interval is given by When n = • When n = When n = 228, a 95% confidence interval is…arrow_forwardInterpret the 95% confidence interval in context in one sentence.
