STAT 200 STAT200 Week 6 Homework 8.1.4 Suppose you compute a confidence interval with a sample size of 100. What will happen to the confidence interval if the sample size decreases to 80? Decreasin... g the sample size causes the error bound to increase, making the confidence interval wider. 8.2.6 In 2008, there were 507 children in Arizona out of 32,601 who were diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) ("Autism and developmental," 2008). Find the proportion of ASD in Arizona with a confidence level of 99%. X = 507 N = 32,601 (P+Z a/2 * sqrt p(1-p)/n) p = x/n p = 507/32,601 p = .016 a/2 = 1-.99/s = .005 Z.005 = +2.58 (.016 + 2.58 * sqrt .016(1-.016) / 32,601) = (.016 + .002) = (.014, .018) 8.3.2 Many people feel that cereal is healthier alternative for children over glazed donuts. Table #8.3.5 contains the amount of sugar in a sample of cereal that is geared towards children ("Healthy breakfast story," 2013).
