c)

 (x1x2)±t0.025, v ×sp...\left(\overline{x}_1-\overline{x}_2\right)\pm t_{0.025,\ v\ }\times s_p\sqrt{...}  

4.

Which of the following answers is CORRECT for constructing a 98% confidence interval for a difference between two population proportions?

a)

(p1p2)±z0.01...\left(p_1-p_2\right)\pm z_{0.01}\sqrt{...}

b)

(p2p1)±t0.01,ν...\left(p_2-p_1\right)\pm t_{0.01,\nu}\sqrt{...}

c)

(p1p2)±z0.02...\left(p_1-p_2\right)\pm z_{0.02}\sqrt{...}

d)

(π1π2)±z0.01...\left(\pi_1-\pi_2\right)\pm z_{0.01}\sqrt{...}

5.

Which of the following statistical scores is used to construct a confidence interval for the ratio of two population variances?

a)

tt score

b)

zz score

c)

χ2\chi^2 score

d)

ff score

6.

Suppose a 95% confidence interval for

 μ1μ2\mu_1-\mu_2  is (-2.13,1.48), what can you conclude?

a)

We are 95% confident that there is no difference between the population means.

b)

We are 95% confident that there is a difference between the population means.

c)

We are 95% confident that  μ2\mu_2  is larger than  μ1\mu_1  .

d)

We are 95% confident that  μ1\mu_1  is larger than  μ2\mu_2  .

7.

Is there any difference between population variances at 99% level of confidence if the 99% confidence interval (CI) for the ratio of population variance is (0.78, 1.56)? Verify.

a)

No difference because the 99% CI contains 1.

b)

Yes, there is a difference because the 99% CI does not contain 0.

c)

No difference because the upper limit of 99% CI is greater than the lower limit.

8.

Is it possible that a 90% confidence interval for

 π1π2\pi_1-\pi_2  is (-0.5, 0.7)? Why?

a)

YES, because negative lower limit implies  π1\pi_1  is smaller than  π2\pi_2  .

b)

NO, because any proportion must always be positive.

9.

Which statistical score will you use in constructing a 95% confidence interval for  μ1μ2\mu_1-\mu_2  if  σ1=3, σ2=2, s1=2.8, s2=2.3\sigma_1=3,\ \sigma_2=2,\ s_1=2.8,\ s_2=2.3  and the sample sizes are both 20?

a)

 z0.025z_{0.025}  

b)

 z0.05z_{0.05}  

c)

 t0.025, νt_{0.025,\ \nu}  

d)

 t0.05,νt_{0.05,\nu}
