Solution

P: Parameter

  • The correct parameter symbol for this problem is p p .
  • The wording of the parameter in the context of this problem is: the percentage of all students at this particular college who are left-handed.

A: Assumptions Since information was collected from each object, what conditions do we need to check? Check all that apply.

  • n30 n \geq 30 or normal population.
  • σ \sigma is known.
  • n(1p)10 n(1 - p) \geq 10
  • n(p^)10 n(\hat{p}) \geq 10
  • σ \sigma is unknown.
  • N20n N \geq 20n
  • n(1p^)10 n(1 - \hat{p}) \geq 10
  • np10 np \geq 10

Check those assumptions:

  1. np^=47 n\hat{p} = 47 which is 500×47500=47 500 \times \frac{47}{500} = 47
  2. n(1p^)=453 n(1 - \hat{p}) = 453 which is 500×(147500)=453 500 \times (1 - \frac{47}{500}) = 453
  3. N=52407 N = 52407 which is 52407 52407

N: Name the procedure The conditions are met to use a one-sample z-interval for proportions.

I: Interval and point estimate The symbol and value of the point estimate on this problem are as follows: p^=47500=0.094 \hat{p} = \frac{47}{500} = 0.094

The interval estimate for p p is: p^±zp^(1p^)n \hat{p} \pm z^* \sqrt{\frac{\hat{p}(1 - \hat{p})}{n}}

For a 97% confidence interval, the critical value z z^* is approximately 2.17.

Calculating the margin of error: Margin of Error=2.17×0.094×(10.094)5000.027 \text{Margin of Error} = 2.17 \times \sqrt{\frac{0.094 \times (1 - 0.094)}{500}} \approx 0.027

Thus, the interval estimate for p p is: (0.0940.027,0.094+0.027)=(0.067,0.121) (0.094 - 0.027, 0.094 + 0.027) = (0.067, 0.121)

Round endpoints to 3 decimal places: (0.067,0.121) (0.067, 0.121)

C: Conclusion We are 97% confident that the percentage of all students at this particular college who are left-handed is between 6.7% and 12.1%.

According to previous studies, 16% of the U.S. population is left-handed. Not knowing this, a high school student claims that the percentage of left-handed people in the U.S. is 15%.The student is going to take a random sample of 2100 people in the U.S. to try to gather evidence to support the claim. Let p be the proportion of left-handed people in the sample.Answer the following. (If necessary, consult a list of formulas.)(a)Find the mean of p.(b)Find the standard deviation of p.(c)Compute an approximation for P≥p0.15, which is the probability that there will be 15% or more left-handed people in the sample. Round your answer to four decimal places.
