1. A manufacturer receives parts from two suppliers. An SRS of 400 parts from supplier 1 finds 20 defective. An SRS of 100 parts from supplier 2 finds 10 defective. Let p1 and p2 be the proportion of all parts from suppliers 1 and 2, respectively, that are defective. The standard error needed to compute a 95% confidence interval for p1 - p2, the difference in the two proportions is
A. 0.001.
B. 0.063.
C. 0.032.
2. A noted psychic was tested for ESP. The psychic was presented with 400 cards face down and asked to determine if each card was marked with one of four symbols: a star, cross, circle, or square. The psychic was correct in 120 cases. Let p represent the probability that the psychic correctly identifies the symbol on the card in a random trial. Suppose you wish to see if there is evidence that the psychic was doing better than just guessing. To do this you test the hypotheses
H 0: p = 0.25,
H a: p > 0.25.
The P-value of your test is
A. 0.0104.
B. 0.0146.
C. 0.9896.

Margin of error with confidence
: An SRS of 100 of a certain popular model car in 1993 found that 20 had a certain minor defect in the brakes. An SRS of 400 of this model car in 1994 found that 50 had the minor defect in the brakes. Let p1 and p2 be the proportion of all cars of t..

Simple random samples from the appropriate populations
: Based on surveys conducted in 1989 and 1999, a researcher compared the proportion of high school age females interested in a career in science in 1989 with the proportion in 1999. He concluded that the proportions were not significantly different ..
