Answer #1

Solution :

Given that,

Point estimate = sample proportion = = x / n = 25 / 125 = 0.20

1 - = 1 - 0.20 = 0.80

Z/2 = Z0.005 = 2.576

Margin of error = E = Z / 2 * (( * (1 - )) / n)

= 2.576 (((0.20 * 0.80) / 125)

= 0.092

A 99% confidence interval for population proportion p is ,

± E   

= 0.20  ± 0.092

= ( 0.108, 0.292 )

The vast majority of people have hand dominance--they are either left-handed or right-handed. In this question we will ignore the very small percentage of the population who are ambidextrous (i.e., those who use both hands equally well or equally badly!). A researcher believes that men are more likely to be left-handed than women. To check this she checked the dominant hand of random samples of 200 men and 200 women, and found 24 men and 18 women to be left-handed....

According to most estimates, 10% of the people in the general population are left-handed and 90% are right-handed. A neurological theory of handedness and cerebral dominance predicts that there should be a disproportionate number of left-handers among artists. For a sample of n = 150 artists, a psychologist finds that 24 are left-handed. Is there a higher proportion of left-handers among artist than there is for the general population? Test with alpha set at .05. For full points indicate in...

Test the claim that the proportion of left-handed people who are colorblind is the same as the proportion of right-handed people who are colorblind. A simple random sample of 400 left-handed people found that 16 of them were colorblind. A simple random sample of 600 right-handed people found that 34 of them were colorblind. Test the claim at the 5% significance level.

Answer b) What is the probability that 2 or less people in the sample are left-handed? Round to four decimal places. Answer
