Suppose that a safety group surveyed 800 drivers. Among those surveyed, 83% said that careless or aggressive driving was the biggest threat on the road, and 34% said that cell phone usage by other drivers was the driving behavior that annoyed them the most. Based on these data and assuming that the sample was a simple random sample, construct and interpret a 95% confidence interval estimate for the true proportion in the population of all drivers who are annoyed by cell phone users. The confidence interval estimate is ??––––––?? (Round to three decimal places as needed. Use ascending order.) Interpret the confidence interval estimate. A. There is a 0.95 probability that the population proportion of drivers who are annoyed by cell phone users is in the interval. B. There is 95% confidence that the population proportion of drivers who are annoyed by cell phone users is in the interval. C. There is a 0.95 probability that the sample proportion of drivers…

1.A New York Times/CBS poll asked the question, "What do you think is the most important problem facing this country today?" It found that twenty-four percent of the respondents answered "crime and violence." The margin of sampling error was plus or minus 2.7 percentage points. Following the convention that the margin of error was based on a 95% confidence interval, find the 95% confidence interval for the percentage of the population that would respond "crime and violence" to the question asked by the pollsters.

A telephone company has the business objective of wanting to estimate the proportion of households that would purchase an additional telephone line if it were made available at a reduced installation cost. Data is collected from a random sample of 500 households. The results indicate that 135 of the households would purchase the additional telephone line at a reduced installation cost. - construct a ninety nine percent confidence interval estimate for the population proportion of households that would purchase the additional telephone line.
In September 2011, Gallup surveyed 1,004 American adults and asked them whether they blamed Barack Obama a great deal, a moderate amount, not much, or not at all for U.S. economic problems. The results showed that 53% of respondents blamed Barack Obama a great deal or a moderate amount. Calculate the 99% confidence interval for the proportion of all American adults who blame Barack Obama a great deal or a moderate amount for U.S. economic problems.
Refer to the accompanying data set of 20randomly selected presidents. Treat the data as a sample and find the proportion of presidents who were taller than their opponents. Use that result to construct a 95% confidence interval estimate of the population percentage. Based on the result, does it appear that greater height is an advantage for presidential candidates? Why or why not? Construct a 95% confidence interval estimate of the percentage of presidents who were taller than their opponents.
