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.

Nina 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.
Suppose 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. What is the width of the confidence interval?
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…
Interpret the 95% confidence interval in context in one sentence. Does your confidence interval capture 0? Answer this question and discuss what that means in relation to a two-sided hypothesis test. Specifically, do these results allow us to infer anything about the claim stated in the problem? Are the results practically significant? Should the company that created Medicine A stand behind their claim of being non-drowsy based on these results? Answer this question in one or two sentences.
True or False. Provide explanation!
Suppose we know that a confidence interval for a population proportion is (0.105,0.355), with a sample proportion of p̂=0.23. What is the margin of error?
A newspaper article reported that 400 people in one state were surveyed and 70% were opposed to a recent court decision. The same article reported that a similar survey of 500 people in another state indicated opposition by only 40%. Construct a 95% confidence interval of the difference in population proportions based on the data.
Suppose that Tom and Jerry determine confidence intervals using the same confidence level, based on the same sample proportion. Tom uses a larger sample size than Jerry. How will the midpoint and width of the confidence intervals compare? Same midpoint and same width Same midpoint, Tom has a wider interval Same midpoint, Jerry has a wider interval Same width, Tom has a larger midpoint Same width, Jerry has a larger midpoint Tom has a larger midpoint, wider interval Jerry has a larger midpoint, wider interval

In a study designed to determine whether there was a cluster of brain cancer cases at a Pratt & Whitney plant, record from 223,000 employees were studied and 723 employees with brain tumors were found. Treat those employees as a random sample and construct a 95% confidence interval estimate of the proportion of all adults who develop such tumors. write a brief statement interpreting that confidence interval.
The president’s policy on domestic affairs received a 45% approval rating in a recent poll. The margin of error was given as 0.035. What sample size was used for this poll if we assume a 95% confidence level?
Two different simple random samples are drawn from two different populations. The first sample consists of 40 people with 20 having a common attribute. The second sample consists of 1800 people with 1291 of them having the same attribute. Compare the results from a hypothesis test p1=p2 (with a 0.05 significance level) and a 95% confidence interval estimate of p1-p2. What are the null and alternative hypotheses for the hypothesis test?
