A Businessweek/Harris poll asked senior executives at large corporations their opinions about the economic outlook for the future. One question was, "Do you think that there will be an increase in the number of full-time employees at your company over the next 12 months?" In the current survey, 230 of 500 executives answered Yes, while in a previous year survey, 196 of 500 executives had answered Yes. Provide a 95% confidence interval estimate for the difference between the proportions at the two points in time (to 4 decimals). Do not round your intermediate calculations. .0000 to .1366 What is your interpretation of the interval estimate? Approximately ( 14% + more executives are predicting an increase + in full-time jobs. The confidence interval shows the difference may be from 14% + to 0%

According to a report on sleep deprivation by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the proportion of California residents who reported insufficient rest or sleep during each of the preceding 30 days is 8.0%, while this percent is 8.8% for Oregon residents.

A 90 percent confidence interval is to be created to estimate the proportion of television viewers in a certain areawho favor moving the broadcast of the late weeknight news to an hour earlier than it is currently. Initially, theconfidence interval will be created using a simple random sample of 9,000 viewers in the area. Assuming that thesample proportion does not change, what would be the relationship between the width of the original confidenceinterval and the width of a second 90 percent confidence interval that is created based on a sample of only 1,000viewers in the area?(A) The second confidence interval would be 9 times as wide as the original confidence interval.(B) The second confidence interval would be 3 times as wide as the original confidence interval.(C) The width of the second confidence interval would be equal to the width of the original confidence interval.(D) The second confidence interval would be 1/3 as wide as the original confidence interval.(E) The second…

According to a report on sleep deprivation by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the proportion of California residents who reported insufficient rest or sleep during each of the preceding 30 days is 8.0%, while this proportion is 8.8% for Oregon residents. These data are based on simple random samples of 11,545 California and 4,691 Oregon residents. Calculate a 95% confidence interval for the difference between the proportions of Californians and Oregonians who are sleep deprived and interpret it in context of the data. Also, conduct a hypothesis, with alpha = 0.05, test to determine if these data provide strong evidence the rate of sleep deprivation is different for the two states. Construct a 95% confidence interval Which of the following correctly displays the standard error? 0.0046 0.009 0.001 0.00002 0.008
