For a poll, 43% of 21,944 people polled answered “yes” to the given question. Given that 43% is the best estimate of the population percentage, why would we need a confidence interval? That is, what additional information does the confidence interval provide? Choose the correct answer below. A. Information about the standard deviation of the population. B. Information about the mean of the population. C. Information about the accuracy of the estimate. D. Information about the mean of the sample.

Assume that a simple random sample has been selected from a normally distributed population and test the given claim. Identify the null and alternative hypotheses, test statistic, P-value, and state the final conclusion that addresses the original claim. In a manual on how to have a number one song, it is stated that a song must be no longer than 210 seconds. A simple random sample of 40 current hit songs results in a mean length of 236.8sec and a standard deviation of 56.81sec. Use a 0.05 significance level and the accompanying Minitab display to test the claim that the sample is from a population of songs with a mean greater than 210sec. What do these results suggest about the advice given in the manual? 3 Click the icon to view the Minitab display. What are the hypotheses? A. H0 : µ = 210sec H1 : µ ≤ 210sec C. H0 : µ = 210sec H1 : µ > 210sec B. H0 : µ < 210sec H1 : µ > 210sec D. H0 : µ > 210sec H1 : µ ≤ 210sec Identify the test statistic. t = (Round to two decimal places as needed.) Identify the P-value. The P-value is (Round to three decimal places as needed.) State the final conclusion that addresses the original claim. Choose the correct answer below. A. Fail to reject H0. There is insufficient evidence to support the claim that the sample is from a population of songs with a mean length greater than 210sec. B. Fail to reject H0. There is sufficient evidence to support the claim that the sample is from a population of songs with a mean length greater than 210sec. C. Reject H0. There is insufficient evidence to support the claim that the sample is from a population of songs with a mean length greater than 210sec. D. Reject H0. There is sufficient evidence to support the claim that the sample is from a population of songs with a mean length greater than 210sec. What do the results suggest about the advice given in the manual? A. The results suggest that 236.8 seconds is the best song length. B. The results suggest that the advice of writing a song that must be no longer than 210 seconds is not sound advice. C. The results do not suggest that the advice of writing a song that must be no longer than 210 seconds is not sound advice. D. The results are inconclusive because the average length of a hit song is constantly changing. 3: Minitab display One-Sample T Test of mu = 210 vs > 210 N Mean StDev SE Mean Bound T P 40 236.80 56.81 8.98 221.67 2.98 0.002

In a survey, 22% of 235 single women said that they "definitely want to have children." In the same survey, 27% of 265 single men gave the same response. Construct a 95% confidence interval estimate of the difference between the proportions of single women and single men who definitely want to have children. Is there a gender gap? Construct a 95% confidence interval estimate. < p1 - p2 < (Round to three decimal places as needed.) Is there a gender gap? Choose the correct answer below. A. Since the interval contains 0 , there is no evidence of a gender gap. B. Since the interval contains 0 , there is evidence of a gender gap. C. Since the interval does not contain 0 , there is no evidence of a gender gap. D. Since the interval does not contain 0 , there is evidence of a gender gap.

A study comparing birth weight to IQ found 255 subjects (sample 1) with extremely low birth weights had IQ scores at age 8 with a mean of 93.9 and a standard deviation of 15.6. The control group of 282 subjects (sample 2) with normal birth weights had IQ scores with a mean of 95.4 and a standard deviation of 13.2 at age 8. Construct a 95% confidence interval estimate of the difference between the mean IQs of the two groups. Do not assume the population standard deviations are equal. Does IQ score appear to be affected by weight? 1 Click the icon to view the table of critical values. Find the 95% confidence interval. < μ1 - μ2 < (Round to two decimal places as needed.) Does the confidence interval show that low birth weight affects IQ? A. No, because the confidence interval does not include zero. B. Yes, because the confidence interval includes zero. C. Yes, because the confidence interval does not include zero. D. No, because the confidence interval includes zero.
