Which of the following is the correct interpretation of the 95% confidence
a. |
Through random sampling of the same size, multiple confidence intervals may be constructed. We expect 95% of the confidence intervals to contain Mu1 - Mu2. |
|
b. |
Through random sampling, multiple confidence intervals may be constructed. We expect 95% of the confidence intervals to contain Mu1 - Mu2. |
|
c. |
Through sampling of the same size, multiple confidence intervals may be constructed. We expect 95% of the confidence intervals to contain Mu1 - Mu2. |
|
d. |
Through random sampling of the same size, multiple confidence intervals may be constructed. We expect 95% of the confidence intervals to contain (-0.251,1.965). |

- suppose that you take 1000 simple random samples from a population and that, for each sample, you obtain a 95% confidence interval for an unknown parameter. Approximately how many of those confidence intervals will continue the value of the unknown parameter?arrow_forwardMales and females were asked what they would do if they received a $100 bill in the mail that was addressed to their neighbor, but had been incorrectly delivered to them. Of the 70 males sampled, 55 said yes they would return it to their neighbor. Of the 130 females sampled, 120 said yes. We want to construct a 90% confidence interval estimate for the difference between the true proportion of males who say they would return the money to their neighbor and the true proportion of females who say they would return the money to their neighbor. Choose the best option for the result of constructing that interval.

A survey asked senior executives at large corporations their opinions about the economic outlook for the future. One question was, "Do you think that there will be an increase in the number of full-time employees at your company over the next 12 months?" In the current survey, 228 of 400 executives answered Yes, while in a previous year survey, 176 of 400 executives had answered Yes. Provide a 95% confidence interval estimate for the difference between the proportions at the two points in time. (Use current year previous year. Round your answer to four decimal places.) to What is your interpretation of the interval estimate? The 95% confidence interval ---Select--- ✓zero. This suggests that the proportion of executives who are predicting an increase in full- time jobs for the current year is ---Select--- ✓ than the proportion of executives who were predicting an increase in full-time jobs for the…arrow_forward
- 8 A New York Times article reported that a survey conducted in 2014 included 36,000 adults, with 1,500 of them being regular users of e-cigarettes. Because e-cigarette use is relatively new, there is a need to obtain today's usage rate. How many adults must be surveyed now if we want a confidence level of 90% and a margin of error of 1.5 percentage points?arrow_forwardA 95% confidence interval for how much time on average GRC students spend doing homework every day is 75 to 105 minutes.Choose a correct interpretation of the statement above. A. If random sampling is repeated, 95% of the confidence intervals created will capture the true mean. B. If random sampling is repeated, 95% of the samples will have a mean that is between 75 and 105 minutes. C. 95% of GRC students study between 75 and 105 minutes on average every day. D. There is 95% chance that the true mean is between 75 and 105 minutes.arrow_forwardWhich of the following is the BEST interpretation of the 97% one-sample confidence interval? If we consider all possible 97% one-sample confidence intervals arising from all possible samples of places in Florida, then 97% of those intervals should contain the average rainfall amount for all places in Florida. If we consider all possible 97% one-sample confidence intervals arising from all possible samples of size 12, then all of those intervals should contain the average rainfall amount for all places in Florida. If we consider all possible 97% one-sample confidence intervals arising from all possible samples of size 12, then 97% of those intervals should contain the average rainfall amount for all places in Florida. If we consider all possible places in Florida, then 97% of those places should have the average rainfall amount for Florida.

- Credit card ownership varies across age groups. Suppose that the estimated percentage of people who own at least one credit card is 64% in the 18–24 age group, 84% in the 25–34 age group, 75% in the 35–49 age group, and 77% in the 50+ age group. Suppose these estimates are based on 465 randomly selected people from each age group.

A local parents’ group wants to test this theory and samples families with young children. They find the following results. Construct a 99% confidence interval to estimate the true difference between the proportions of children who read at an early age when they are read to frequently compared to those who were read to less often, as described in the table of results. Let Population 1 be the children who were read to frequently and Population 2 be the children who were read to less often. Round the endpoints of the interval to three decimal places, if necessary.
