1 1 Chapter 7 ad 8 Review for Exam Chapter 7 Estimates ad Sample Sizes 2 Defiitio Cofidece Iterval (or Iterval Estimate) a rage (or a iterval) of values used to estimate the true value of the populatio parameter Lower # < populatio parameter < Upper # As a example < p <

2 4 Cofidece Iterval for Populatio Proportio pˆ - E < p E = where z a / 2 < p ˆ + E ˆ p q ˆ Notatio for Proportios p = populatio proportio p ˆ = x sample proportio (proouced p-hat ) of x successes i a sample of size q ˆ = 1 - p ˆ = sample proportio of x failures i a sample size of 5 Roud-Off Rule for Cofidece Iterval Estimates of p Roud the cofidece iterval limits to three sigificat digits 6

3 7 Procedure for Costructig a Cofidece Iterval for p 1. Verify that the required assumptios are satisfied. (The sample is a simple radom sample, the coditios for the biomial distributio are satisfied, ad the ormal distributio ca be used to approximate the distributio of sample proportios because p 5, ad q 5 are both satisfied). 2. Refer to Table A-2 ad fid the critical value z a/2 that correspods to the desired cofidece level. 3. Evaluate the margi of error E = p q ˆˆ Procedure for Costructig a Cofidece Iterval for p 4. Usig the calculated margi of error, E ad the value of the sample proportio, p, ˆ, fid the values of p ˆ E ad p ˆ + E.. Substitute those values i the geeral format for the cofidece iterval: p ˆ E < p < p ˆ + E 5. Roud the resultig cofidece iterval limits to three sigificat digits. 8 Example: I the Chapter Problem, we oted that 829 adult Miesotas were surveyed, ad 51% of them are opposed to the use of the photo-cop for issuig traffic tickets. Use these survey results. Fid the 95% cofidece iterval estimate of the populatio proportio p. 9

4 10 Example: I the Chapter Problem, we oted that 829 adult Miesotas were surveyed, ad 51% of them are opposed to the use of the photo-cop for issuig traffic tickets. Use these survey results. First, we check for assumptios. We ote that p = , ad q = ˆ ˆ Next, we calculate the margi of error. We have foud that p = 0.51, q = = 0.49, z a/ 2 = 1.96, ad = 829. ˆ E = 1.96 E = ˆ (0.51)(0.49) 829 Example: I the Chapter Problem, we oted that 829 adult Miesotas were surveyed, ad 51% of them are opposed to the use of the photo-cop for issuig traffic tickets. Use these survey results. Fid the 95% cofidece iterval for the populatio proportio p. We substitute our values from Part a to obtai: < p < , < p < Example: I the Chapter Problem, we oted that 829 adult Miesotas were surveyed, ad 51% of them are opposed to the use of the photo-cop for issuig traffic tickets. Use these survey results. Based o the results, ca we safely coclude that the majority of adult Miesotas oppose use of the photo-cop? Based o the survey results, we are 95% cofidet that the limits of 47.6% ad 54.4% cotai the true percetage of adult Miesotas opposed to the photo-cop. The percetage of opposed adult Miesotas is likely to be ay value betwee 47.6% ad 54.4%. However, a majority requires a percetage greater tha 50%, so we caot safely coclude that the majority is opposed (because the etire cofidece iterval is ot greater tha 50%). 12

Fid the 95% iterval estimate of m, the mea repair cost for all Dodge Vipers ivolved i collisios. (The 12 cars distributio appears to be bell-shaped.) x = 26,227 s = 15,873 a = 0.05 a/2 = t a /2 = E = t a / 2 s = (2.201)(15,873) = 10, x - E < µ < x + E 26,227-10,085.3 < µ < 26, ,085.3 $16,141.7 < µ < $36,312.3 We are 95% cofidet that this iterval cotais the average cost of repairig a Dodge Viper.

Example: Example:We wat to determie, with a margi of error of four percetage poits, the curret percetage of U.S. households usig .

8 22 Example: If we wat to estimate the mea weight of plastic discarded by households i oe week, how may households must be radomly selected to be 99% cofidet that the sample mea is withi 0.25 lb of the true populatio mea? (A previous study idicates the stadard deviatio is lb.) a = 0.01 z a/2 = E = 0.25 s = = z a/2 s = (2.575)(1.065) E 0.25 = = 121 households We would eed to radomly select 121 households ad obtai the average weight of plastic discarded i oe week. We would be 99% cofidet that this mea is withi 1/4 lb of the populatio mea. Chapter 8 Hypothesis Testig 23 Claim: Usig math symbols H 0 : Must cotai equality H 1 : Will cotai,, <, > 24
