In an article regarding interracial dating and marriage recently appeared in a newspaper. Of 1719 randomly selected adults, 311

identified themselves as Latinos, 322 identified themselves as blacks, 251 identified themselves as Asians, and 775 identified themselves as whites. Among Asians, 79% would welcome a white person into their families, 71% would welcome a Latino, and 66% would welcome a black person.
NOTE: If you are using a Student's t-distribution, you may assume that the underlying population is normally distributed. (In general, you must first prove that assumption, though.)
Construct the 95% confidence intervals for the three Asian responses.
1. Welcome a white person ( , )
2. Welcome a Latino ( , )
3. Welcome a Black person ( , )

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello!

The parameter of interest in this exercise is the population proportion of Asians that would welcome a person of other races in their family. Using the race of the welcomed one as categorizer we can define 3 variables:

X₁: Number of Asians that would welcome a white person into their families.

X₂: Number of Asians that would welcome a Latino person into their families.

X₃: Number of Asians that would welcome a black person into their families.

Now since we are working with the population that identifies as "Asians" the sample size will be: n= 251

Since the sample size is large enough (n≥30) you can apply the Central Limit Theorem and approximate the variable distribution to normal.

Z_{1-\alpha /2}= Z_{0.975}= 1.965

1. 95% CI for Asians that would welcome a white person.

If 79% would welcome a white person, then the expected value is:

E(X)= n*p= 251*0.79= 198.29

And the Standard deviation is:

V(X)= n*p*(1-p)= 251*0.79*0.21=41.6409

√V(X)= 6.45

You can construct the interval as:

E(X)±Z₁₋α/₂*√V(X)

198.29±1.965*6.45

[185.62;210.96]

With a 95% confidence level, you'd expect that the interval [185.62; 210.96] contains the number of Asian people that would welcome a White person in their family.

2. 95% CI for Asians that would welcome a Latino person.

If 71% would welcome a Latino person, then the expected value is:

E(X)= n*p= 251*0.71= 178.21

And the Standard deviation is:

V(X)= n*p*(1-p)= 251*0.71*0.29= 51.6809

√V(X)= 7.19

You can construct the interval as:

E(X)±Z₁₋α/₂*√V(X)

178.21±1.965*7.19

[164.08; 192.34]

With a 95% confidence level, you'd expect that the interval [164.08; 192.34] contains the number of Asian people that would welcome a Latino person in their family.

3. 95% CI for Asians that would welcome a Black person.

If 66% would welcome a Black person, then the expected value is:

E(X)= n*p= 251*0.66= 165.66

And the Standard deviation is:

V(X)= n*p*(1-p)= 251*0.66*0.34= 56.3244

√V(X)= 7.50

You can construct the interval as:

E(X)±Z₁₋α/₂*√V(X)

165.66±1.965*7.50

[150.92; 180.40]

With a 95% confidence level, you'd expect that the interval [150.92; 180.40] contains the number of Asian people that would welcome a Black person in their family.

I hope it helps!

Find the point estimate for the true difference between the given population means. Round your answer to three decimal places.
uranmaximum [27]

Answer:

Point Estimate for different between population means = - 0.99

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given data of two samples and we have to find the best point estimate of the true difference between two population means. Remember that in absence of data about population the best estimator is the sample data. So, we will find the means of both sample data and find the difference of that means. This difference between the means of sample data will be the best point estimate for the true difference between the population means.

Formula to calculate the mean is:

Mean=\frac{\text{Sum of Values}}{\text{Number of Values}}

Mean of Sample 1:

Mean=\frac{1414}{11}=128.55

Mean of Sample 2:

Mean=\frac{1684}{13}=129.54

Therefore the best point estimate for difference between two population means would be = Mean of Sample 1 - Mean of Sample 2

= 128.55 - 129.54

= - 0.99
