We wish to estimate (with 95% confidence) what percent of
students take the bus to school. We survey a random sample of 850
students and get the following results:
70 students take the bus, 770 students do not take the bus and 10
students did not respond
We should use:
- 2-SampTInt
- TInterval
- 2-PropZInt
- ZInterval
- 1-PropZInt
- 2-SampZInt
Homework Answers
Here, sample size is given 850
Out of 70 students take the bus to school
Here, we need to find proportion
So, answer is 1 propZInt

1) A random sample of 130 car owners were asked how many years they had owned their current car. The results were ¯x=4x¯=4 years and s=1.7s=1.7. Estimate how long ago people typically acquired their car (at the 99% confidence level). Here, we should use: 2-SampZInt TInterval 1-PropZInt ZInterval 2-SampTInt 2-PropZInt 2) Students in two different classes used two different textbooks to learn the same subject matter. We wish to estimate with 90% confidence how much better students in Class B...

we wish to estimate μ, the mean length of the fish in our pond. we take a random sample of 65 fish and measure their lengths. for this sample, we find an average length of 4.53 cm, and a standard deviation of 0.8cm. i) using our observations as a pilot study, determine the sample size needed to estimate the mean μ within 0.1cm with 95% confidence. ii) find the upper confidence interval for μ

We wish to survey students at community college campuses to find out what percent of them prefer taking online classes. We want 95% confidence, and we want the sample percentage to be within 5 percentage points of the population percentage. How large a sample do we need? Round up to the nearest integer (for example, 92.15 would be rounded up to 93).

Consider a population having a standard deviation equal to 9.96. We wish to estimate the mean of this population. (a) How large a random sample is needed to construct a 95% confidence interval for the mean of this population with a margin of error equal to 1? (Round your answer to the next whole number.) The random sample is units. (b) Suppose that we now take a random sample of the size we have determined in part a. If we...

You wish to estimate, with 95% confidence the population proportion of motor vehicle fatalities that were caused by alcohol-impaired driving. Your estimate must be accurate within 5% of the population proportion. a) Find the minimum sample size required when no preliminary estimate is available. b) Find the minimum sample size required using a prior survey that found that 31% of motor vehicle fatalities were caused by alcohol impaired driving.

A school administrator claimed that the average time spent on a school bus by those students in his school district who rode school buses was 35 minutes. A random sample of 20 students who did ride the school buses yielded an average of 42 minutes riding time with a standard deviation of 6.2 minutes. Does this sample of size 20 contain sufficient evidence to indicate that the mean riding time is greater than 35 minutes at the 5% level of...
