Math Problem Statement
Solution
Let's break down the tasks from the image, which deals with confidence intervals and hypothesis testing:
Part a:
i. Construct a 95% confidence interval for the mean agreement on "Abortion is justifiable":
- The sample size .
- Sample mean .
- Sample variance .
To construct the confidence interval, we'll use the formula for the confidence interval for the mean: Where:
- is the critical value for a 95% confidence level.
- is the sample standard deviation (which is the square root of the sample variance).
Since it's a large sample, we'll assume a normal distribution for the critical value.
ii. Hypothesis test:
- Null hypothesis .
- The z-obtained value is 2.50.
You'll need to interpret the z-value and compare it with the critical value at .
Part b:
i. Confidence interval for proportions:
- Sample size .
- Proportion .
The formula for the confidence interval for a proportion is: Where is the sample proportion.
ii. Hypothesis test for proportions:
- Null hypothesis .
- The z-obtained value is -1.82.
We can use this to draw conclusions about whether to reject the null hypothesis based on the critical z-value.
