Assignment Estimation

This document contains instructions for several statistical analysis problems: 1. Construct 80%, 94% and 98% confidence intervals to estimate the population mean μ using sample data, assuming a population standard deviation of 7.75. Report the point estimate. 2. Compute 95%, 90% and 95% confidence intervals for population proportions using sample sizes and values provided. 3. Determine the necessary sample sizes to estimate a population mean μ or proportion p within given levels of confidence and error. 4. Construct a 90% confidence interval to estimate the average initiative score for small business managers using sample data, assuming a population standard deviation of 3.891. 5. Determine the required sample size for a researcher to

1. Use the following data to construct 80%, 94% and 98% confidence intervals to estimate . Assume that is 7.75. State the point estimate. 44 37 49 30 56 48 53 42 51 38 39 45 47 52 59 50 46 34 39 46 27 35 52 51 46 45 58 51 37 45 52 51 54 39 48. 2. Use the following information to compute the confidence interval for the population proportion. a. n = 715 and x = 329 with 95% confidence. b. n=284 and p = 0.71 with 90% confidence. c. n=1250 and p = 0.48 with 95% confidence d. n = 457 and x = 270 with 98% confidence 3. Determine the sample size necessary under the following conditions a. To estimate with = 44, E = 3 and 95% confidence b. To estimate with a range of values from 20 to 88 with E = 2 and 90% confidence. c. To estimate P with E = 0.03 95% confidence and p thought to be approximately 0.07 4. A random sample of small business managers was given a leadership style questionnaire. The results were scaled so that each manager received a score for initiative. Suppose the following data are a random sample of these scores. 37 42 40 39 38 31 40 37 35 45 30 33 35 44 36 37 39 33 39 40 41 33 35 36 41 33 37 38 40 42 44 35 36 33 38 32 30 37 42 Assuming = 3.891 use these data to construct a 90% confidence interval to estimate the average score on initiative for all small business managers. 5. A national beauty salon chain wants to estimate number of times per year a woman has her hair done at a beauty salon if she uses one at least once year. The chains researcher estimates that, of those women who use a beauty salon at least once a year, the standard deviation of number of times of usage is approximately 6. the national chin wants the estimate to be within one time of the actual mean value. How large a sample should the researcher take to obtain 98% confidence level?
