A company surveyed 2400 men where 1248 of the men identified themselves as the primary grocery shopper in their household. ​a) E

stimate the percentage of all males who identify themselves as the primary grocery shopper. Use a 98​% confidence interval. Check the conditions first. ​b) A grocery store owner believed that only 43​% of men are the primary grocery shopper for their​ family, and targets his advertising accordingly. He wishes to conduct a hypothesis test to see if the fraction is in fact higher than 43​%. What does your confidence interval​ indicate? Explain. ​c) What is the level of significance of this​ test? Explain.

Answer:

a) With a confidence level of 98%, the percentage of all males who identify themselves as the primary grocery shopper are between 0.4962 and 0.5438.

b) The lower limit of the confidence interval is higher that 0.43, so if he conduct a hypothesis test, he will find that the data shows evidence to said that the fraction is higher than 43%.

c) \alpha =1-0.98=0.02

Step-by-step explanation:

If np' and n(1-p') are higher than 5, a confidence interval for the proportion is calculated as:

p'-z_{\alpha/2}\sqrt{\frac{p'(1-p')}{n} }\leq  p\leq p'+z_{\alpha/2}\sqrt{\frac{p'(1-p')}{n} }

Where p' is the proportion of the sample, n is the size of the sample, p is the proportion of the population and z_{\alpha/2} is the z-value that let a probability of \alpha/2 on the right tail.

Then, a 98% confidence interval for the percentage of all males who identify themselves as the primary grocery shopper can be calculated replacing p' by 0.52, n by 2400, \alpha by 0.02 and z_{\alpha/2} by 2.33

Where p' and \alpha are calculated as:

p' = \frac{1248}{2400}=0.52\\\alpha =1-0.98=0.02

So, replacing the values we get:

0.52-2.33\sqrt{\frac{0.52(1-0.52)}{2400} }\leq  p\leq 0.52+2.33\sqrt{\frac{0.52(1-0.52)}{2400} }\\0.52-0.0238\leq p\leq 0.52+0.0238\\0.4962\leq p\leq 0.5438

With a confidence level of 98%, the percentage of all males who identify themselves as the primary grocery shopper are between 0.4962 and 0.5438.

The lower limit of the confidence interval is higher that 0.43, so if he conduct a hypothesis test, he will find that the data shows evidence to said that the fraction is higher than 43%.

Finally, the level of significance is the probability to reject the null hypothesis given that the null hypothesis is true. It is also the complement of the level of confidence. So, if we create a 98% confidence interval, the level of confidence 1-\alpha is equal to 98%

It means the the level of significance \alpha is:

\alpha =1-0.98=0.02

What is the least common multiple of 156 and 321
jekas [21]

Hello  Hdolly81

<u><em>The LCM of 156 and 321 is 16692</em></u>

Backup:

156: 2,2,3,13,

321: 3,107

2 * 2 *  3 * 13 * 107 = 16692

Variance is: Multiple Choice the average squared deviations about the mean of a distribution of values. an empirically testable
DENIUS [597]

Multiple choice answers are clearly defined as below for clarity:

A. the average squared deviations about the mean of a distribution of values.

B. an empirically testable statement that is an unproven supposition developed in order to explain certain phenomena.

C. the error made by rejecting the null hypothesis when it is true.

D. a statement that asserts the status quo; that is, any change from what has been thought to be true is due to random sampling order.

E. a statement that is the opposite of the null hypothesis

Answer:

A. The average squared deviations about the mean of a distribution of values.

Explanation:

A. the average squared deviations about the mean of a distribution of values. Correct

Standard deviation is how data is distributed around the mean. It is also the square root of the Variance. Therefore, the variance is the square of the standard deviation which is distributed around the mean.

B. an empirically testable statement that is an unproven supposition developed in order to explain certain phenomena. Incorrect

This is false as this is rather the definition for hypothesis.

C. the error made by rejecting the null hypothesis when it is true. Incorrect

This is false as this is the definition for the probability of committing a type I error

D. a statement that asserts the status quo; that is, any change from what has been thought to be true is due to random sampling order. Incorrect

This is false as this defines what a null hypothesis is.

E. a statement that is the opposite of the null hypothesis. Incorrect

The opposite of the null hypothesis is alternative hypothesis.
