1. The data given below includes data from 42 candies, and 7 of them are red. The company that makes the candy claims that 33%

jeyben [28]

Answer:

The 95% confidence interval for true proportion of red candies is (5%, 27%).

The true proportion of red candies made by the company is different from 33%.

Step-by-step explanation:

The hypothesis to determine whether the claim made by the candy company is correct or not is:

H₀: The true proportion of red candies made by the company is 33%, i.e. p = 0.33.

Hₐ: The true proportion of red candies made by the company is different from 33%, i.e. p ≠ 0.33.

A (1 - α)% confidence interval can be constructed to check this claim.

The decision rule is:

If the confidence interval consists the null value then the null hypothesis will not be rejected. Otherwise it will be rejected.

The (1 - α)% confidence interval for population proportion is:

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

The information provided is:

n = 42

X = number of red candies = 7

Compute the sample proportion of candies that are red as follows:

$\hat p=\frac{X}{n}=\frac{7}{42}=0.167$

The critical value of z for 95% confidence level is:

$z_{\alpha/2}=z_{0.05/2}=z_{0.025}=1.96$

*Use a z-table for the critical value.

Compute the 95% confidence interval for true proportion of red candies as follows:

$CI=\hat p\pm z_{\alpha/2}\sqrt{\frac{\hat p(1-\hat p)}{n}}\\=0.167\pm 1.96\times \sqrt{\frac{0.167(1-0.167)}{42}}\\=0.16\pm0.1137\\=(0.0463, 0.2737)\\\approx(0.05, 0.27)$

The 95% confidence interval for true proportion of red candies is (5%, 27%).

The confidence interval does not contains the null value.

Thus, the null hypothesis will be rejected at 5% level of significance.

Conclusion:

The true proportion of red candies made by the company is different from 33%.

A sample of 13 sheets of cardstock is randomly selected and the following thicknesses are measured in millimeters. Give a point

valina [46]

<h3>Answer: 0.061</h3>

===============================================

Explanation:

Add up the values to get

1.96+1.81+1.97+1.83+1.87+1.84+1.85+1.94+1.96+1.81+1.86+1.95+1.89= 24.54

Then divide over 13 (the number of values) to get 24.54/13 = 1.8876923 which is approximate.

So the mean is approximately 1.8876923

---------------------

Now make a spreadsheet as shown below

We have the first column as the x values, which are the original numbers your teacher provided. The second column is of the form (x-M)^2, where M is the mean we computed earlier. We subtract off the mean and square the result.

After we compute that column of (x-M)^2 values, we add them up to get what is shown in the highlighted yellow cell at the bottom of the column.

That sum is approximately 0.04403076924

Next, we divide that over n-1 = 13-1 = 12

0.04403076924 /12 = 0.00366923077

That is the sample variance. Apply the square root to this to get the sample standard deviation. This is the point estimate of the population standard deviation. As the name implies, it works for samples that estimate population parameters.

sqrt(0.00366923077) = 0.06057417576822

This rounds to 0.061 which is the final answer.

Step-by-step explanation:

take 9.75 × 17=165.75

take 9.75 × 25=243.75

add 165.75 and 243.75=407.50
