A magazine reports that women trust recommendations from a particular social networking site more than recommendations from any other social network platform. But does trust in this social networking site differ by gender? The following sample data show the number of women and men who stated in a recent sample that they trust recommendations made on this particular social networking site.

Women Men
Sample 150 170
Trust Recommendations Made on the social networking site 123 102

a. What is the point estimate of the proportion of women who trust recommendations made on this particular social networking site?
b. What is the point estimate of the proportion of men who trust recommendations made on this particular social networking site?
c. Provide a 95% confidence interval estimate of the difference between the proportion of women and men who trust recommendations made on this particular social networking site.

a) p_A represent the real population proportion for women

$\hat p_A =\frac{123}{150}=0.82$ represent the estimated proportion for women

n_A=150 is the sample size selected for women

b) p_B represent the real population proportion for male

$\hat p_B =\frac{102}{170}=0.6$ represent the estimated proportion for male

n_B=170 is the sample size selected for male

c) $(0.82-0.6) - 1.96 \sqrt{\frac{0.82(1-0.82)}{150} +\frac{0.6(1-0.6)}{170}}=0.124$

$(0.82-0.6) + 1.96 \sqrt{\frac{0.82(1-0.82)}{150} +\frac{0.6(1-0.6)}{170}}=0.316$

And the 95% confidence interval would be given (0.124;0.316).

We are confident at 95% that the difference between the two proportions is between $0.124 \leq p_A -p_B \leq 0.316$

Step-by-step explanation:

Previous concepts

A confidence interval is "a range of values that’s likely to include a population value with a certain degree of confidence. It is often expressed a % whereby a population means lies between an upper and lower interval".

The margin of error is the range of values below and above the sample statistic in a confidence interval.

Normal distribution, is a "probability distribution that is symmetric about the mean, showing that data near the mean are more frequent in occurrence than data far from the mean".

Part a

p_A represent the real population proportion for women

$\hat p_A =\frac{123}{150}=0.82$ represent the estimated proportion for women

n_A=150 is the sample size selected for women

Part b

p_B represent the real population proportion for male

$\hat p_B =\frac{102}{170}=0.6$ represent the estimated proportion for male

n_B=170 is the sample size elected for male

represent the critical value for the margin of error

Part c

The population proportion have the following distribution

$p \sim N(p,\sqrt{\frac{p(1-p)}{n}})$

The confidence interval for the difference of two proportions would be given by this formula

$(\hat p_A -\hat p_B) \pm z_{\alpha/2} \sqrt{\frac{\hat p_A(1-\hat p_A)}{n_A} +\frac{\hat p_B (1-\hat p_B)}{n_B}}$

For the 95% confidence interval the value of $\alpha=1-0.95=0.05$ and $\alpha/2=0.025$ , with that value we can find the quantile required for the interval in the normal standard distribution.

$z_{\alpha/2}=1.96$

And replacing into the confidence interval formula we got:

$(0.82-0.6) - 1.96 \sqrt{\frac{0.82(1-0.82)}{150} +\frac{0.6(1-0.6)}{170}}=0.124$

$(0.82-0.6) + 1.96 \sqrt{\frac{0.82(1-0.82)}{150} +\frac{0.6(1-0.6)}{170}}=0.316$

And the 95% confidence interval would be given (0.124;0.316).

We are confident at 95% that the difference between the two proportions is between $0.124 \leq p_A -p_B \leq 0.316$

1.3.4 practice : modeling: solving linear equations in this assignment, you may work alone, with a partner, or in a small group. discuss the results of your work and/or any lingering questions with your teacher. your assignment: road trip you're taking a scenic road trip down ca-highway 1 from san jose, california, to los angeles. you plan to split the drive into two days, stopping for one night. choose one town to stop in, and find the driving distance for the second day. 1. circle the town you chose to stop in. (1 point) santa barbara: an image of palm trees san luis obispo: an image of a church 2. why did you choose this town? (1 point) 3.what do you know? .what do you want to find out? .what kind of answer do you expect? define the variable. 4. what is the variable x for this problem? (1 point) write the equation. 5. write an equation showing that the distance traveled on the first day plus the distance traveled on the second day is equal to 425 miles. (4 points: 2 points for each side of the equation) isolate the variable. 6. what inverse operation do you need to perform on both sides to isolate x in the equation? (2 points: 1 point for the correct number, 1 point for the correct operation) solve the equation. 7. solve the equation for x. interpret the answer in terms of the problem. (2 points: 1 point for the solution, 1 point for the interpretation) check your solution. 8. to confirm that your answer is correct, add the two days' distances. this should equal the total distance from san jose to los angeles. show your work as an equation. (3 points: 1 point for the setup, 2 points for the correct answer)
