Koether (Hampden-Sydney College) Hypothesis Testing for Means Wed, Oct 26, 2011 3 / 43Homework ReviewExercise 9.25, page 595.A new method for detecting a type of cancer has been developed.Among 80 adults who have this type of cancer, this method failed todetect the cancer in five of the adults. Provide a 92% confidenceinterval estimate for the failure rate for this method.The sample proportion (point estimate) for the failure rate isˆp =580= 0.0625.For a 92% C.I., α = 0.08, so α/2 = 0.04.The coefficient is z0.04= invNorm(0.04) = −1.751.So, the confidence interval isˆp ± z0.04rˆp(1 −ˆp)n= 0.0625 ± 1.751r(0.0625)(0.9375)80= 0.625 ± (1.751)(0.0271)= 0.0625 ± 0.0474.Robb T.
