  1. .The value oft0 forΡtt0=0.025wheredf=11 is 2.201
  2. The value oft0 forΡtt0=0.01 wheredf=9is 2.821
  3. The value oft0 forΡtt0=0.005wheredf=6 is 3.707

4. The value oft0 forΡtt0=0.05 wheredf=18 is 1.734

Step by step solution

01

Calculating the value of t0 Such that Ρ(t≥t0)=0.025

GivenΡtt0=0.025wheredf=11

By using t- distribution table, we will see the row with 11 degrees of freedom and column corresponds toα=0.025 in the one-tail.

Hence from the critical values we get t0.025,11=2.201

02

Calculating the value t0 of Such that Ρ(t≥t0)=0.01

GivenΡ(tt0)=0.01wheredf=9

By using t- distribution table, we will see the row with 9 degrees of freedom and column corresponds toα=0.01 in the one-tail.

Hence from the critical values we gett0.01,9=2.821

03

Calculating the value of t0 Such that Ρ(t≥t0)=0.005

GivenΡtt0=0.005wheredf=6

By using t- distribution table, we will see the row with 6 degrees of freedom and column corresponds toα=0.005 in the one-tail.

Hence from the critical values we gett0.005,6=3.707

04

Calculating the value of t0 Such that Ρ(t≥t0)=0.05

GivenΡtt0=0.05 wheredf=18

By using t- distribution table, we will see the row with 18 degrees of freedom and column corresponds toα=0.05 in the one-tail.

Hence from the critical values we get t0.05,18=1.734.

Who prepares your tax return? Refer to the Behavioral Research and Accounting (January 2015) study on income tax compliance, Exercise 5.50 (p. 321). Recall that in a sample of 270 U.S. adult workers, the researchers found that 37% prepare their own tax return.

a. Construct a 99% confidence interval for the true proportion of all U.S. adult workers who prepare their own tax return.

b. Suppose an IRS tax consultant claims that 50% of all U.S. adult workers prepare their own tax return. Make an inference about this claim.

c. According to the researchers, about 70% of the sampled workers were recruited from a shopping mall (where they were reimbursed $5 for their time) and about 30% were full-time workers enrolled in a professional graduate degree program. How might this information impact the inference you made in part b?

A random sample of 70 observations from a normally distributed population possesses a sample mean equal to 26.2 and a sample standard deviation equal to 4.1.

a. Find an approximate 95% confidence interval for

b. What do you mean when you say that a confidence coefficient is .95?

c. Find an approximate 99% confidence interval for

d. What happens to the width of a confidence interval as the value of the confidence coefficient is increased while the sample size is held fixed?

e. Would your confidence intervals of parts a and c be valid if the distribution of the original population was not normal? Explain

Do social robots walk or roll? Refer to the International Conference on Social Robotics (Vol. 6414, 2010) study of the trend in the design of social robots, Exercise 5.44 (p. 320). The researchers obtained a random sample of 106 social robots through a Web search and determined that 63 were designed with legs, but no wheels.

a. Find a 99% confidence interval for the proportion of all social robots designed with legs but no wheels. Interpret the result.

b. In Exercise 5.42, you assumed that 40% of all social robots are designed with legs but no wheels. Comment on the validity of this assumption.

Methyl t-butyl ether (MTBE) is an organic water contaminant that often results from gasoline spills. The level of MTBE (in parts per billion) was measured for a sample of 12 well sites located near a gasoline service station in New Jersey (Environmental Science & Technology,January 2005). The data are listed in the accompanying table.

a. Give a point estimate for m, the true mean MTBE level for all well sites located near the New Jersey gasoline service station.

b. Calculate and interpret a 99% confidence interval for m.

c. What assumptions are required for the interval, part b, to be valid? Are these assumptions reasonably satisfied?

Cell phone use by drivers. Studies have shown that driverswho use cell phones while operating a motor passenger vehicleincrease their risk of an accident. Nevertheless, driverscontinue to make cell phone calls whiledriving. A June2011 Harris Pollof 2,163 adults found that 60% (1,298adults) use cell phones while driving.

  1. Give a point estimate of p,the true driver cell phone use rate (i.e., the proportion of all drivers who are usinga cell phone while operating a motor passengervehicle).
  2. Find a 95% confidence interval for p.
  3. Give a practical interpretation of the interval, part b.
  4. Determine the margin of error in the interval if thenumber of adults in the survey is doubled.
