In a science fair​ project, Emily conducted an experiment in which she tested professional touch therapists to see if they could

sense her energy field. She flipped a coin to select either her right hand or her left​ hand, and then she asked the therapists to identify the selected hand by placing their hand just under​ Emily's hand without seeing it and without touching it. Among 329 ​trials, the touch therapists were correct 154 times.
a. Given that Emily used a coin toss to select either her right hand or her left hand, what proportion of correct responses would be expected if the touch therapists made random guesses?
b. Using Emily's sample results, what is the best point estimate of the therapists' success rate?
c. Using Emilys sample results, construct a 90% confidence interval estimate of the proportion of correct responses made by touch therapists.

Answer:

a) p = 0.5

b) \hat p= \frac{X}{n}= \frac{154}{329}= 0.468

c) 0.468 - 1.64 \sqrt{\frac{0.468(1-0.468)}{329}}=0.423

0.468 + 1.64 \sqrt{\frac{0.468(1-0.468)}{329}}=0.513

And the 90% confidence interval for the true proportion is given by (0.527;0.593).

Step-by-step explanation:

Part a

For this case we don't have any prior info given so then the probability assumed for this case is:

p = 0.5

Part b

For this case the proportion of success is given by:

\hat p= \frac{X}{n}= \frac{154}{329}= 0.468

Part c

The confidence interval for the true proportion would be given by this formula

\hat p \pm z_{\alpha/2} \sqrt{\frac{\hat p(1-\hat p)}{n}}

For the 90% confidence interval the value of and , and the critical value would be given by:

z_{\alpha/2}=1.64

The confidence interval is given by:

0.468 - 1.64 \sqrt{\frac{0.468(1-0.468)}{329}}=0.423

0.468 + 1.64 \sqrt{\frac{0.468(1-0.468)}{329}}=0.513

And the 90% confidence interval for the true proportion is given by (0.527;0.593).

Find the mean for the scores : 3810;5300;8540;4300,5340
Aleonysh [2.5K]

Answer: 5458

Step-by-step explanation: So the mean is the same thing as the average. To find the mean you add up all of the numbers, and then divide by 5 because there are five numbers. So the sum would be 27,290. Then that divided by 5 would be 5458.

Is the relationship shows by the data linear? If so, model the data with an equation.
Kipish [7]

Answer:

Yes, B

Step-by-step explanation:

Yes the data is linear because there is a constant rate of change.

For x or the input the rate of change is plus 2

For y or the output the rate of change is plus 4

y/x is your slope so 4/2=2

and the only equation with a slope of 2 is B

Mario has 3.875 liters of juice at the beginning of the day he drinks 2.79 liters during the day how much juice is left over st
katen-ka-za [31]

Answer:

The juice left at the end of the day is 1.085 liters.

Step-by-step explanation:

Juice at the beginning of the day: 3.875 liters

Juice drink by Mario during the day: 2.79 liters

Juice left at the end of the day = Juice at the beginning of the day - Juice drink by Mario during the day

                                                  = 3.875 - 2.79

                                                  = 1.085 liters
