In a random sample of 200 claims filed against an insurance company writing collision insurance on cars,
84 exceeded $3,500. Construct a 95% confidence interval for the true proportion of claims filed against
this insurance company that exceed $3,500, using the large sample confidence interval formula.
Problem 2
What is the size of the smallest sample required to estimate and unknown proportion of customers who
would pay for an additional service, to within a maximum error of 0.06 with at least 95% confidence?
Problem 3
Among 100 fish caught in a large lake, 18 were inedible due to the pollution of the environment. If we
use 18/100=0.18 as an estimate of the corresponding true proportion, with what confidence can we
assert that the error of this estimate is at most 0.065.
Problem 4
A manufacturer of submerisible pumps claims that at most 30% of the pumps requires repairs within the
first 5 years of operation. If a random sample of 120 of these pumps includes 47 which required repairs
within the first 5 years, test the null hypothesis of the proportion equal to 0.30 and the against the
alternative hypothesis of p greater than 0.30 at the 0.05 level of significance.
