Quiz zum Vortrag
What is true regarding the variability in the difference between sample proportions?
- We usually do not know the population proportions, so finding the standard deviation is not possible and we have to estimate it using the standard error.
- The standard deviation of the difference in the proportions is simply the difference between the standard deviations of the two proportions.
- The standard deviation of the difference in the proportions is simply the sum of the standard deviations of the proportions.
- The standard error of the difference in the proportions is the sum of the standard errors of the individual proportions.
- The standard error is a measure that accounts for the entire population.
What is not one of the conditions for the two-proportion procedure?
- The groups we are comparing are linearly related to each other.
- Each group’s observations are independent or are randomly selected.
- We need to observe at least 10 successes and 10 failures in each group.
- The sample sizes should not be larger than 10% of the respective population sizes.
- The sample sizes cannot be larger than 25% of the population size.
What is an appropriate interpretation of the 95% confidence interval for p1 - p2 based on the difference ˆp1 -ˆp2 and given by (a ,b)?
- We are 95% confident that p1 - p2 is between a and b.
- We know that the difference between the population proportions falls between a and b.
- The value ˆ p 1 - ˆ p 2 is a more plausible value for the difference in the population proportions than are values near a or near b.
- We are 95% certain that p 1 - p 2 is between a and b.
- We know that a and b are representative of 95% of the population.
What is true of the hypothesis test for a difference in two population proportions?
- We do not know either population proportion under the null hypothesis, so we construct a pooled estimate based on the two sample proportions.
- The procedures described in this chapter can be used if the groups are not independent.
- The procedures described in this chapter can be used if the individuals in the study are not randomly sampled.
- We do not know either sample proportion under the null hypothesis, so we have to construct a pooled estimate based on the population proportions.
- A best guess at the difference between two population proportions is as accurate as a pooled estimate based on the sample proportions.
What is the correct interpretation when we reject the null hypothesis?
- Based on the data we observed, the null hypothesis is not a reasonable explanation of the behavior between the two populations
- We are certain that there is a difference between the two population proportions.
- We are certain that there is no difference between the two population proportions.
- We have evidence that there is no difference between the two population proportions.
- The null hypothesis is false.
Suppose proportion 1 = 0.54, sample size 1 = 450, proportion 2 = 0.37, and sample size 2 = 280. What is the confidence interval for the difference in proportions?
- 0.24;0.09
- 0.24;0.08
- 0.24;0.07
- 0.24;0.06
- 0.24;0.05
Suppose proportion 1 = 0.4, sample size 1 = 50, proportion 2 = 0.8, and sample size 2 = 30. What is the value of the pooled proportion?
- 0.55
- 0.57
- 0.49
- 0.51
- 0.53
