A market researcher for Eric’s Electronics wants to study TV viewing habits of residents in Chicago. The individuals in the surv

ey are asked to keep track of their weekly TV viewing time. A random sample of 50 respondents is selected, and the average viewing time per week for the 50 individuals in the sample is 17.5 hours. The population standard deviation is known to be 5.0 hours. Assume that TV viewing is a normally distributed random variable. (7 points) Construct a 90% confidence interval estimate for the mean amount of television watched per week by individuals in Chicago. Interpret your result.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Confidence interval is written in the form,

(Sample mean - margin of error, sample mean + margin of error)

The sample mean, x is the point estimate for the population mean.

Since the sample size is large and the population standard deviation is known, we would use the following formula and determine the z score from the normal distribution table.

Margin of error = z × σ/√n

Where

σ = population standard Deviation

n = number of samples

From the information given

1) x = 17.5

σ = 5

n = 50

To determine the z score, we subtract the confidence level from 100% to get α

α = 1 - 0.9 = 0.1

α/2 = 0.1/2 = 0.05

This is the area in each tail. Since we want the area in the middle, it becomes

1 - 0.05 = 0.95

The z score corresponding to the area on the z table is 1.645. Thus, confidence level of 90% is 1.645

Margin of error = 1.645 × 5/√50 = 1.16

Confidence interval = 17.5 ± 1.16

The structure of a two-factor study can be presented as a matrix with the levels of one factor determining the rows and the leve
slega [8]

Answer:

Following are the solution to this question:

Step-by-step explanation:

It provides three different hypotheses in such a two-factor ANOVA:  

In point A:

H o: With all factor A levels, the ways are equivalent  

Ha: A least another element A level does have a transfer to another

In point B:

Ha: The least one Factor A the level does have a transfer to another

H o: With all Factor B levels the results are about the same.

In point C:

Ha: At most one Variable B level does have a transfer than any other level.

H o: There are no interactions among the factors

Ha: The interactions of factors are important

When ANOVA is executed, they get three p-sets (one for all 3 hypotheses)

(a) If Variable A's p-value is much less alpha, we will reject the null and embrace Ha and infer that Factor A is important. Anything else, H o also isn't rejected and that there is no evidence which Factor A is important

(b) If p- is < alpha, otherwise we reject The null, accept Ha, and infer which Factor B is relevant. Factor B is significant. Conversely, we may not condemn H o but claim there isn't enough proof which Factor B is important

(c)

If they reject H o and agree to the point p- for the A x B interaction is a < alpha Ha, and conclude that the interaction from A to B is important. So, perhaps we can deny H o and claim, that neither proof of interactions is sufficient From A to B.
