Assignment:
I: In this exericse, we have a box of paint cans for a project kit. The box contains 100 bottles in total, with the following colors: yellow, black, green, blue.
We will randomly select 15 bottles from the box and count how many are yellow.
Try the sampling 10 times. You should get some range on the number of yellow cans and an average proportion. Record This Information! (If you take more than 10 samples, the Mean Proportion is based on the last 10 samples.)
No. of Yellow: 5 6 7 5 6 7 4 5 5 7
Mean Proportion > 0.38
II: We assume that our 10 samples provide a reasonable guess for the population proportion P to use in the following calculations, that is, we will set phat to the Mean Proportion calculated above.
You will test one or more values of P0 based on the equation
Enter your P0 value then test for below:
Inference about Population Proportion
Two-Sample Proportions and Confidence Interval
In this exericse, we have two boxes of paint cans, each box containing 100 bottles in total.
Define the population proportion of Box 1 as p1, and that of Box 2 as p2. We will take simple random samples from each box, determine the sample proportions. We wish to determine if the population proportions are equal.
Box 1 sample proportion is pHat1 = Box 1 sample # yellow ÷ Sample size (=n1)
Box 2 sample proportion is pHat2 = Box 2 sample # yellow ÷ Sample size (=n2)
pHat = # yellow in both samples ÷ (n1+n2)
Box 1 Box 2 < Sample From
8 6 < No. of Yellow
17 20 < No. in Sample
0.471 0.3 < pHat Value
0.171 < pHat1 - pHat2
1.066 < Z value
(-0.039, 0.350) < 80% Conf.Interval
