A clinical trial tests a method designed to increase the probability of conceiving a girl. In the study 600 babies were born, and 330 of them were girls. Use the sample data to construct a 99% confidence interval estimate of the percentage of girls born. Based on the result, does the method appear to be effective? < p < (Round to three decimal places as needed.) Does the method appear to be effective? Yes, the proportion of girls is significantly different from 0.5. No, the proportion of girls is not significantly different from 0.5.

In the week before and the week after a holiday, there were 10,000 total deaths, and 4951 of them occurred in the week before the holiday. a. Construct a 90% confidence interval estimate of the proportion of deaths in the week before the holiday to the total deaths in the week before and the week after the holiday. b. Based on the result, does there appear to be any indication that people can temporarily postpone their death to survive the holiday? a. < p < (Round to three decimal places as needed.) b. Based on the result, does there appear to be any indication that people can temporarily postpone their death to survive the holiday? Yes, because the proportion could not easily equal 0.5. The interval is substantially less than 0.5 the week before the holiday. No, because the proportion could easily equal 0.5. The interval is not less than 0.5 the week before the holiday.

Listed below are measured amounts of lead (in micrograms per cubic meter, or µg/m3) in the air. The EPA has established an air quality standard for lead of 1.5 µg/m3. The measurements shown below were recorded at a building on different days. Use the given values to construct a 95% confidence interval estimate of the mean amount of lead in the air. Is there anything about this data set suggesting that the confidence interval might not be very good? Click here to view a t distribution table. 5 Click here to view page 1 of the standard normal distribution table 6 Click here to view page 2 of the standard normal distribution table. 7 What is the confidence interval for the population mean µ? µg/m3 < µ < µg/m3 (Round to three decimal places as needed.) Is there anything about this data set suggesting that the confidence interval might not be very good? A. Yes, because the confidence interval does not contain 1.5µg/m3. B. Yes, the value of 5.40 appears to be an outlier. C. Yes, because the sample mean is greater than 1.5µg/m3. D. No, the data appears to be normally distributed.

A genetic experiment with peas resulted in one sample of offspring that consisted of 445 green peas and 153 yellow peas. a. Construct a 90% confidence interval to estimate of the percentage of yellow peas. b. It was expected that 25% of the offspring peas would be yellow. Given that the percentage of offspring yellow peas is not 25%, do the results contradict expectations? a. Construct a 90% confidence interval. Express the percentages in decimal form. < p < (Round to three decimal places as needed.) b. Given that the percentage of offspring yellow peas is not 25%, do the results contradict expectations? No, the confidence interval includes 0.25, so the true percentage could easily equal 25% Yes, the confidence interval does not include 0.25, so the true percentage could not equal 25%
