A professor surveyed a random sample of 63 students about whether they planned to take an optional final exam for the course. Of the 63 students surveyed, 47 indicated that they planned to take the exam.

(a) Compute the necessary sample size for estimating p to within .2 with 95% confidence. Use the sample proportion for this problem.

(b) Construct and interpret a 98% confidence interval for p, the true proportion of students who plan to take the final exam.

(c) Conduct a hypothesis test to see if the true proportion of students who plan to take the final exam is different from .75. List your null and alternative hypotheses, test statistic, and corresponding p-value.

A new survey found that out of a random sample of 300 high school students throughout the country who had previously signed up to take the AP Statistics exam, 83% of them still planned on taking the adjusted version. Construct and interpret a 95% confidence interval for the true proportion of all students who still plan on taking their AP Stats exam. Explain what 95% confidence means in the context of this question. The AP exam believes that more than...

5. A professor analyzed the responses of two randomly selected samples of students. The first sample had 50 students from a population of Biology freshmen. The second sample had 40 students from a population of Chemistry freshmen. The professor found that 20 of the 50 biology freshmen surveyed had already taken a math course, and 20 of the 40 chemistry freshmen surveyed had already taken a math course. The professor believes that the proportion of the population of Biology freshmen...

A career website for college students and alumni surveyed 200 recent graduates and found that 63% had accepted a job in a new city, state, or country. The approximate standard deviation for the distribution of sample proportion in this case is 0.034. What is an approximate 95% confidence interval for the population proportion who accepted a job in a new city, state, or country (______,_______)?

A sample of 152 statistics students were surveyed concerning their future pet ownership. Of the 152 students in the sample, 82 responded that they plan on getting a dog after graduating. Construct a 95% confidence interval for the proportion of statistics students overall (i.e., the entirepopulation) that want to get a dog. Suppose we wanted to take another sample to estimate the percent of percentage of statistics studentsthat want to get a dog. Find the sample size we need to...

A professor has decided that students should be allowed to do only the work they wish to do in undergraduate statistics. So she uploaded 15 weekly assignments. Students see their scores when they complete the assignments. But the homework assignments are not required – they are discretionary. Students take the final exam and the exam grade is the final grade. The results for this class of 80 students gave an average exam score of 72. These sample results of 80...

To estimate the fraction of students who take up a statistics course for their degree, a random sample of 1000 students were interviewed. It was found that 654 of the students had taken a statistics course. With this information, construct a 99% confidence interval for the true proportion of the data. A. (0.6152, 0.6928) B. (0.6528, 0.6552) C. (0.6538, 0.6542) D. (0.639, 0.669)

A statistics professor asked her students whether or not they were registered to vote. In a sample of 52 of her students (randomly sampled from 700 students), 34 said they were registered to vote. 1. Find a 95% confidence interval for the true proportion of the professor's students who were registered to vote. (Make sure to check any necessary conditions and to state a conclusion in the context of the problem.) 2. A reader of the results concludes that "I...

In a study of academic procrastination, it was determined that for a random sample of 18 undergrad students at a mid-size public university, the mean time spent studying for the final exam in an intro statistics course was 7.74 hours with a standard deviation of 3.40 hours. What is the point estimate of the mean final exam study time for all undergrad students? In a study of academic procrastination, it was determined that for a random sample of 18 undergrad...

A math professor has been teaching graduate statistics for several. His records show that the overall mean for final exam scores is 82 with a standard deviation of 10. The professor believes that last year’s class scores are greater than his previous classes. He decides to conduct a test on the 25 students enrolled in one of his statistics class. Construct and interpret 95% and 99% confidence intervals. Assume that the professor increased his sample size to 50 when he...
