PART
1. An opinion poll asks a random sample of 100 college juniors how they view their job prospects once they graduate. Out of the 100 students 53 said Excellent. Find a 95% confidence interval to estimate the proportion of college juniors who think their job prospects are excellent. Assume large samples.
The random sample is equivalent to 100 college juniors
From this sample, 53 of them considered their job prospects to be excellent, which is equivalent to 0.53.
A 95% confidence interval implies that in the event that 100 different kinds of samples are taken into consideration and a 95% confidence interval is calculated for every sample, then roughly 95 out of the 100 confidence intervals will have the true mean value, which is
To construct a 95% confidence interval for a population, mean , the correct critical value of z* (Sprinthall, 2003) is P (-1.96 < Z < 1.96) = 0.95
The test statistic is 0.7019
The confidence interval is (0.6808, 0.7019)
2. In 1999, the Bureau of Justice Statistics3 indicated that 14% of violent crimes are committed by women. Suppose that a random sample of 400 people who committed violent crimes was taken and it was determined that 65 of the 400 were women. Find a large-sample 95% confidence interval based on the sample data. Determine if the 14%...
The IRS is trying to determine which percentage of tax returns claim itemized deductions. A random sample of 2,000 returns was taken and the IRS found...…claims that 30% of tax filers claim itemized deductions. A random sample of 2,000 returns was taken and the IRS found that 663 claimed itemized deductions. Test the claim using the four-step process. Use a significance level of 0.10. Then, compare this problem to Problem 3 of Part 1.State:
Null Hypothesis: 30% of the tax filers claim itemized deductions
Alternate Hypothesis: 30% of the tax filers do not claim itemized deductions
Plan:
A sample is selected from the population, and a sample mean is measured. The random sample taken encompasses a total of 2,000 returns. From this figure, the IRS determined that 663 tax filers claimed itemized deductions.
Solve:
This is equivalent to:
(663 / 2,000) * 100 = 33.15% or 0.3315
Conclude:
A member of the IRS makes a claim that 30% of the tax filers claim itemized deductions. This is equivalent to 0.3. From the question, the test statistic is 0.3315. The significance level used is 0.10. Taking…

Therefore, we can assume that one of the observed values is significantly different from the expected value for that group. Without post-hoc pairwise tests it is impossible to say exactly which group is different. We can make an educated guess, however, that the proportion of 55+ shoppers in store a is statistically
INVERTED U. HYPOTHESIS It has been established that competitive state-anxiety normally follows a certain pattern of one-sided feelings of anxiety as well as inadequacy that combines with increased arousal of automatic nervous system (Fazey, 2008). Accordingly, the theory of Inverted U. hypothesis was formulated to explain this aspect, and it is widely applied in sports psychology. Inverted U. hypothesis a theory that suggest that there is a relative amount of anxiety
Question 1 If Mary wants to study the impact of background noise level on sixth grader learning in a math lesson, the independent variable is the background noise condition. Mary has decided to use a t-test, which means that she will only have two conditions that differ from one another (“T Test (Student’s T-Test),” n.d.). In this case, the experimental condition would be high background noise (measured by decibel level perhaps),
The effectiveness of promotional strategies is highly dependent on their ability to resonate and be relevant to the target audiences over time (Reference). This is the basis of the research being undertaken; to determine which promotional tools and strategies are the most effective in attracting, training and retaining the most talented and motivated volunteers for the London 2012 Olympic Games. The following are the aims and objectives of this analysis.

The problem here is determining sampling error in order to accurately determine whether two samples are or are not really different. This test is also used when the number of cases in each sample is different or when the number of cases in one or
