A college conducted itsown poll of 200 students and got that 132 of them considered this goal as important. Theywant to make a 98% confidence interval for the population proportion, p, of all 1st year studenteat the college who would consider 'being well off financially' as an important personal goal(a) Find p=X/n =%3Db) Find za =(c) Construct the 98% confidence interval for the population proportion, p:

One hundred fifty high school students were surveyed, and it was found that 68% of them are using the internet for a minimum of 3 to 5 hours a day. a. If we want a margin of error of 3%, how many students do we need to construct a 95% confidence interval for the proportion of the students who are using the internet for a minimum of 3 to 5 hours a day? b.With 95% confidence interval, what interpretation can we make regarding the proportion of the students who are using the internet for a minimum of 3 to 5 hours a day?
A university health services physician is concerned about how much sleep freshman are getting. She asked a simple random sample of 100 students if they got at least 8 hours of sleep the previous night. then she constructs a 90% confidence interval for the true proportion of all freshman college students who got at least 8 hours of sleep the previous night. Explain what would happen to the width of the interval if the sample size would decrease to 25 students

In 2009, Sports Illustrated published an article citing the bankruptcy rate of former NFL players at 78%! A new study by the National Bureau of Economic Research has blown Sports Illustrated’s claims out of the water. The study actually found that 15.7 percent — or one in six — of NFL players file for bankruptcy within 12 years of retirement. If a sample of 25 retired players were taken, what is the 97% confidence interval for the proportion that would file for bankruptcy (based on the new results, of course)?
