The countries of Europe report that 46% of the labor force is female. The United Nations wonders if the percentage of females in the labor force is the same in the United States. Representatives from the United
States Department of Labor plan to check a random sample of over 10,000 employment records on file to
estimate a percentage of females in the United States labor force.
1. The representatives from the Department of Labor want to estimate a percentage of females in the
United States labor force to within +3%, with 95% confidence. How many employment records
should they sample? (4 points)
2. They actually select a random sample of 600 employment records, and find that (250) of the
people are females. Create the confidence interval. Remember to PANIC. (10 points)
3. Explain what 95% confidence means in this context. (3 points)
That is about 95% of the sample(600) will create a confidence interval that contains p, which is the true
percentage of the female labor force.
4. Should the representatives from the Department of Labor conclude that the percentage of females
in their labor force is lower than Europe's rate of 46%? Explain. (3 points)

Acell phone company offers two plans to its subscribers. at the time new subscribers sign up, they are asked to provide some demographic information. the mean yearly income for a sample of 40 subscribers to plan a is $45,000 with a standard deviation of $9,200. for a sample of 25 subscribers to plan b, the mean income is $64,300 with a standard deviation of $7,100. at the 0.025 significance level, is it reasonable to conclude the mean income of those selecting plan b is larger? assume unequal population standard deviations. hint: for the calculations, assume the plan a as the first sample. what is the decision rule? (negative amount should be indicated by a minus sign. round your answer to 3 decimal places.) compute the value of the test statistic. (negative amount should be indicated by a minus sign. round your answer to 2 decimal places.) what is your decision regarding h0 ? reject h0 fail to reject h0 compute the p-value. less than 0.01 between 0.01 and 0.025 between 0.025 and 0.05 between 0.05 and 0.10 greater than 0.10
