Math quiz
Description
Suppose the number of equipment sales and service contracts that a store sold during the last six (6) months for treadmills and exercise bikes was as follows:
Treadmill Exercise Bike
Total sold 195 138
Service contracts 60 45
The store can only sell a service contract on a new piece of equipment. Of the 195 treadmills sold, 60 purchased a service contract. Of the 138 exercise bikes, 45 purchased a service contract.
Remember to watch the instructional video and use the excel template provided to help you with the math.
Complete the following questions in the space provided below:
- Is there a major difference between the two pieces of equipment? Why or why not?
- Interpret the meaning of the confidence interval for Treadmills at a 95% confidence level.
- Interpret the meaning of the confidence interval for Exercise Bikes at a 95% confidence level.
- Are confidence intervals one-tailed or two-tailed?
- Construct a 95 percent confidence interval for the difference between the proportions of service contracts sold on treadmills versus exercise bikes.
Question 1
Are confidence intervals one-tailed or two-tailed?
TWO-TAILED
ONE-TAILED
2 points
Question 2
- Interpret the meaning of the confidence interval for Treadmills at a 95% confidence level.
95% of people purchased between 24 and 37 contracts after buying treadmills.
We are 95% confident that the number of contracts purchased is between 24.3 and 37.2
We are 95% confident that customers who purchased contract after purchasing treadmills is approximately between 24% and 37%.
Unable to determine this value given the information provided.
4 points
Question 3
- Interpret the meaning of the confidence interval for Exercise Bikes at a 95% confidence level.
We are 95% confident that the percentage of customers that purchased Exercise Bikes is between 25% and 40%.
We are 95% confident that the percentage of customers that purchased Exercise Bikes is between 25 and 40 contracts.
We are 95% confident that the percentage of customers that purchased Exercise Bikes is more than 50%
Unable to determine this information.
4 points
Question 4
- Using the two-proportion confidence interval formula we determine if there is a difference between the two proportions. Is there a difference between the proportions?
Yes
There is no difference because the confidence interval contains zero since the interval is between (-12% and 8%)
Unable to determine this information given insufficient evidence.
Yes. The because we are 95% confident that the percentage of customers who -purchase contracts is under 12% and 8%
10 points
Question 5
- Construct a 95 percent confidence interval for the difference between the proportions of service contracts sold on treadmills versus exercise bikes. You may want to use this site to check your calculations: http://vassarstats.net/prop2_ind.html
