3)20% of ACME's employees are senior citizens. What is the probability that in a random sample of 100 employees, that the sample proportion of senior citizens will be less than 15%? Provide a diagram.
4)ROYAL FINANCE takes a sample of 5 employees and finds that the sample mean hourly rate was $175 with a sample standard deviation of $30. Construct a 90% confidence interval for the population average hourly rate of all Royal Finance employees.
Q3)The probability that in a random sample of 100 employees, that the sample proportion of senior citizens will be less than 15% is 0.10565
90% confidence interval is (146.40, 203.60)
Step-by-step explanation
Q3.
p = 0.20
q = 1 - 0.20 = 0.80
n = 100
p_hat = 0.15
Z = (p_hat - p)/√(p*q/n)
Z = (0.15 - 0.20)/√(0.20*0.80/100)
Z = - 1.25
P(Z < - 1.25) = 0.10565
Q4.
Use t distribution since the population standard deviation is unknown.
n = 5
Mean = 175
Standard deviation = 30
For 90% confidence interval,
Alpha/2 = (1 - 0.90)/2
= 0.05
Degrees of freedom, df = n - 1
df = 5 - 1 =4
Using df = 4 and alpha/2 = 0.05,
t_critical = 2.132 (from the t distribution table)
Margin of error = t_critical *(s/√n)
= 2.132*(30/√5)
= 28.6038
Lower limit = mean - Margin of error
= 175 - 28.6038
= 146.40
Upper limit = mean + Margin of error
= 175 + 28.6038
= 203.60
90% confidence interval is (146.40 203.60)
