Using question 3, can you state that the minority (less than 50%) of students at Cincinnati State taking Statistics 1 are smokers? Explain.

Public Policy Polling (PPP), a reputable polling company, asked the following question in a previous Halloween-eccentric public opinion poll:“If zombies took over the world and human civilization collapsed, how long do you think you could survive: less than one week, less than one month, less than six months, less than one year, or more than a year?” Of the 1,200 likely voters who were asked this question, 324 said “Less than one week”. Construct a 99% confidence interval for the true population percentage of likely voters who said that they would survive a zombie apocalypse for less than one week. Round to three decimal places.

The New York Department of Health conducted an investigation on the effect of a new vitamin supplement given to pregnant women. The results in the following table show the mean, standard deviation, and standard error of the birth weights (in kilograms) of a random sample of 16 male babies whose mothers took the vitamin supplement when pregnant. n mean std. deviation std. error Weight 16 3.675 0.657 0.164

This following is the print out for the variable, DISTANCE_2, from the MAT 131 Student Survey.  This variable was the responses for the question, “What is the distance (in miles) from your home to the College?”. Assume that the sample is representative of all students taking Statistics 1 at Cincinnati State. 95% confidence interval results: Variable Sample Mean Std. Err. DF L. Limit U. Limit DISTANCE_2 13.872011 0.82889538 183 12.23659 15.507431 What is the point estimate for population mean? Round to two decimal places.

Would the standard error likely get larger or smaller if the sample size were increased? Explain.

It is believed that applying zinc to soil can affect the amount of herbage (leaves and stems) of plants grown. In an experiment, the regression line for predicting the amount of herbage (y) from the amount of zinc applied (x) is y-hat = 3.29 – 3.825x.  Which of the following can you conclude from this regression line?

A planning board in local county is interested in estimating the proportion of its residents that are in favor of offering incentives to high-tech industries (given lower taxes) to build offices. A random sample of residents from the county was selected and asked, “Are you in favor of offering incentives to high-tech industries to build offices in your county?” A 95% confidence interval for the proportion of residents in favor of offering incentives was calculated to be 0.54±0.05{“version”:”1.1″,”math”:”0.54±0.05″}  Which of the following statements is TRUE about this confidence interval?

Inferential statistics is so named because it allows us to examine a sample and make inferences about . . .
