8 . The 99% confidence interval, because it includes all but one percent of the distribution. The 95% confidence interval will be narrower, because it excludes five percent of the distribution.

## 8.2: confidence interval, single population mean, standard deviation unknown, student’s t

9 . The t -distribution will have more probability in its tails (“thicker tails”) and less probability near the mean of the distribution (“shorter in the center”).

10 . Both distributions are symmetrical and centered at zero.

11 . df = n – 1 = 20 – 1 = 19

12 . You can get the t -value from a probability table or a calculator. In this case, for a t -distribution with 19 degrees of freedom, and a 95% two-sided confidence interval, the value is 2.093, i.e.,
The calculator function is invT(0.975, 19).

13 .
98.4 ± 0.14 = (98.26, 98.54).
The calculator function Tinterval answer is (98.26, 98.54).

14 . ${t}_{\frac{\alpha }{2}}=2.861.$ The calculator function is invT(0.995, 19).
$EBM={t}_{\frac{\alpha }{2}}\left(\frac{s}{\sqrt{n}}\right)=\left(2.861\right)\left(\frac{0.3}{\sqrt{20}}\right)=0.192$
98.4 ± 0.19 = (98.21, 98.59). The calculator function Tinterval answer is (98.21, 98.59).

15 . df = n – 1 = 30 – 1 = 29.

98.4 ± 0.11 = (98.29, 98.51). The calculator function Tinterval answer is (98.29, 98.51).

## 8.3: confidence interval for a population proportion

16 . ${p}^{\prime }=\frac{280}{500}=0.56$
${q}^{\prime }=1-{p}^{\prime }=1-0.56=0.44$
$s=\sqrt{\frac{pq}{n}}=\sqrt{\frac{0.56\left(0.44\right)}{500}}=0.0222$

17 . Because you are using the normal approximation to the binomial, ${z}_{\frac{\alpha }{2}}=1.96$ .
Calculate the error bound for the population ( EBP ):

Calculate the 95% confidence interval:
0.56 ± 0.0435 = (0.5165, 0.6035).
The calculator function 1-PropZint answer is (0.5165, 0.6035).

18 . ${z}_{\frac{\alpha }{2}}=1.64$

0.56 ± 0.03 = (0.5236, 0.5964). The calculator function 1-PropZint answer is (0.5235, 0.5965)

19 . ${z}_{\frac{\alpha }{2}}=2.58$

0.56 ± 0.05 = (0.5127, 0.6173).
The calculator function 1-PropZint answer is (0.5028, 0.6172).

20 . EBP = 0.04 (because 4% = 0.04)
${z}_{\frac{\alpha }{2}}=1.96$ for a 95% confidence interval

You need 601 subjects (rounding upward from 600.25).

21 .
You need 577 subjects (rounding upward from 576.24).

22 .
You need 1,068 subjects (rounding upward from 1,067.11).

## 9.1: null and alternate hypotheses

23 . H 0 : p = 0.58
H a : p ≠ 0.58

24 . H 0 : p ≥ 0.58
H a : p <0.58

25 . H 0 : μ ≥ $268,000 H a : μ <$268,000

26 . H a : μ ≠ 107

27 . H a : p ≥ 0.25

## 9.2: outcomes and the type i and type ii errors

28 . a Type I error

29 . a Type II error

30 . Power = 1 – β = 1 – P (Type II error).

31 . The null hypothesis is that the patient does not have cancer. A Type I error would be detecting cancer when it is not present. A Type II error would be not detecting cancer when it is present. A Type II error is more serious, because failure to detect cancer could keep a patient from receiving appropriate treatment.

32 . The screening test has a ten percent probability of a Type I error, meaning that ten percent of the time, it will detect TB when it is not present.

Hello every one
Okoi
sample survey is done by local government in each and every field.
syeda
statistics is used in almost every government organisations such as health department, economic department, census, weather forecasting fields
raghavendra
that's true
syeda
statistics is one of the tool that represents the falling and rising of any cases in one sheet either that is in population census whether forecast as well as economic growth
statistic is a technique, and statistics is a subject

Probability tells you the likelihood of an event happening. ... The higher the probability, the more likely it is to happen. Probability is a number or fraction between 0 and 1. A probability of 1 means something will always happen, and a probability of 0 means something will never happen...
Saying it's a number between zero and one means it is a fraction so you could remove "or fraction" from you definition.
Carlos
wouldn't be correct to remove fractions, saying a number is justified as probabilities can also be decimals between 0 and 1.
Denzel
Saying "a number" will include it being a decimal which are themselves fractions in another form.
Carlos
I will simply say a probability is a number in the range zero to one, inclusive.
