Conducting a political poll. A pollster wants to estimate the difference between the proportions of men and women who favor a particular national candidate using a 90% confidence interval of width .04. Suppose the pollster has no prior information about the proportions. If equal numbers of men and women are to be polled, how large should the sample sizes be?
Independent random samples from normal populations produced the results shown in the next table.

a. Calculate the pooled estimate of .
b. Do the data provide sufficient evidence to indicate that ? Test using .
c. Find a confidence interval for .
d. Which of the two inferential procedures, the test of hypothesis in part b or the confidence interval in part c, provides more information about ?
Drug content assessment. Scientists at GlaxoSmithKlineMedicines Research Center used high-performance liquidchromatography (HPLC) to determine the amountof drug in a tablet produced by the company (Analytical
Chemistry, Dec. 15, 2009). Drug concentrations (measuredas a percentage) for 50 randomly selected tablets are listedin the table below and saved in the accompanying file.
a. Descriptive statistics for the drug concentrations areshown at the top of the XLSTAT printout on the nextpage. Use this information to assess whether the dataare approximately normal.
b. An XLSTAT normal probability plot follows. Use thisinformation to assess whether the data are approximatelynormal.

Question: Is caffeine addictive? Does the caffeine in coffee, tea, and cola induce an addiction similar to that induced by alcohol, tobacco, heroin, and cocaine? In an attempt to answer this question, researchers at Johns Hopkins University examined 27 caffeine drinkers and found 25 who displayed some type of withdrawal symptoms when abstaining from caffeine. [Note: The 27 caffeine drinkers volunteered for the study.] Furthermore, of 11 caffeine drinkers who were diagnosed as caffeine dependent, 8 displayed dramatic withdrawal symptoms (including impairment in normal functioning) when they consumed a caffeine-free diet in a controlled setting. The National Coffee Association claimed, however, that the study group was too small to draw conclusions. Is the sample large enough to estimate the true proportion of caffeine drinkers who are caffeine dependent to within .05 of the true value with 99% confidence? Explain.
