Homework #3 requires you to complete five questions related to our lectures on \u201cSampling,
\nInference, & Estimation.\u201d Please, show all of your work, type your answers, and
\nupload a .pdf version of your answers to D2L before the deadline (see, Syllabus).
\nIn addition, you must fully explain the substantive results from your findings. A mathematical
\nanswer is not enough to get credit. You must write a substantive response
\nas if you were explaining the result in a journal article.
\n1. What is the Central Limit Theorem (CLM)? Explain the logic of the CLM. How does the CLM
\nrelate to the concepts of population, sample, parameter, statistics, representative, and EPSEM?
\n(Your answer should be at least one half page, i.e. two paragraphs.)
\n2. A sample of 101 countries were selected for a study on gender and public policy. In the sample,
\nthe mean number of days paid that a woman could take for maternity leave was 138. The standard
\ndeviation was 32. Calculate a 99% (\u03b1 = 0.01) confidence interval for the number of paid maternity
\ndays a women receives.
\n3. The General Social Survey (GSS) commonly has a question that asks American respondents
\nabout the number of sexual partners they have had over their lifetime. Let\u2019s say that in 2016, the
\nmean number of sexual partners was 8 with a standard deviation of 2.3. The number of participants
\nin the survey were 231. Calculate a 95% (\u03b1 = 0.05) confidence interval for number of sexual
\npartners Americans have had over the lifetime.
\n4. As Wisconsin is fairly well known for excessive drinking, in 2005 the University of Wisconsin
\nSystem conducted a study that surveyed college students in order to investigate alcohol and drug
\nuse. In terms of alcohol use, 15,232 students were surveyed. Of the 15,232 students, 12,186 indicated
\nthat they had used alcohol in the last month. Calculate a 99% (\u03b1 = 0.01) confidence interval
\nfor the proportion of students that used alcohol.
\n5. In a subset of the same University of Wisconsin Survey (2005), 21 out of 100 students indicated
\nthat their alcohol consumption led to them engaging in unprotected sex and 45 out of 100 indicated
\nthat they had blackouts in the last year. Calculate a 95% (\u03b1 = 0.05) confidence interval for the
\nproportion of students that engaged in unprotected sex in the last year. Then, calculate a 95% (\u03b1
\n= 0.05) confidence interval for the proportion of students that blacked out in the last year.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
