I. Sample Size Calculation (Calculated by Hand Only) Example 9.65 Pg. 297 The Chevrolet dealers of a large county are conducting a study to determine the proportion of car owners in the county who are considering the purchase of a new car within the next year. If the population proportion is believed to be no more than 0.15‚ how many owners must be included in a simple random sample if the dealers want to be 90% confident that the maximum likely error will be no more than 0.02? Given Data π = 0

Suppose that a random sample of size 64 is to be selected from a population having [pic] and standard deviation 5. (a) What are the mean and standard deviation of the [pic] sampling distribution? Can we say that the shape of the distribution is approximately normal

PROBABILITY AND STATISTICS Lab‚ Seminar‚ Lecture 4. Behavior of the sample average X-bar The topic of 4th seminar&lab is the average of the population that has a certain characteristic. This average is the population parameter of interest‚ denoted by the greek letter mu. We estimate this parameter with the statistic x-bar‚ the average in the sample.

STUDY FINDINGS Before comparing the group means‚ assumptions for the paired sample t-test were evaluated and no violations were noted. Results from the paired sample t-test revealed statistically significant differences (p <= .05) in student competency self-assessment between the pretest and the posttest‚ and the posttest and the retrospective test on all 19 competencies (Table 2). Cohen’s effect size values ranging from 0.51 to 2.30 suggested moderate or high practical significance. These findings

Two Samples True/False 1. An independent sample experiment is an experiment in which there is no relationship between the measurements in the different samples. Answer: True Difficulty: Medium 2. When testing the difference between two proportions selected from populations with large independent samples‚ the Z test statistic is used. Answer: True Difficulty: Medium 3. In forming a large sample confidence interval for [pic]‚ two assumptions are required: independent samples and

Hypothesis Testing: Two-Sample Case for the Mean Many cases in the social sciences involve a hypothesis about the difference between two groups (i.e. men and women‚ control and experiment). We analyze statistics from two samples‚ and the hypothesis and confidence interval would deal with the difference between two population means. The following factors are important in hypothesis testing: 1. probability theory 2. the sampling distribution of the statistic 3. the errors inherent
