A college student organization wants to start a nightclub for students under the age of 21. To assess support for this proposal, they will select an SRS of students and ask each respondent if he or she would patronize this type of establishment. They expect that about 71% of the student body would respond favorably. a) What sample size is required to obtain a 80% confidence interval with an approximate margin of error of 0.045? b) Suppose that 51% of the sample responds favorably. Calculate the margin of error for the 80% confidence interval.

The Okeechobee County Economic Development Board needs to estimate the proportion of all county residents who have earned at least a bachelor's degree. A random sample conducted by the Okeechobee County Economic Development Board found that 10.5% of all county residents held at least a bachelor's degree.Find three different confidence intervals - one with sample size 180, one with sample size 451, and one with sample size 621. Assume that 10.5% of the county residents in each sample have earned at least a bachelor's degree. Notice how the sample size affects the margin of error and the width of the interval.Report confidence interval solutions using interval notation. Report all solutions in percent form, rounded to two decimal places, if necessary. When n=180n=180, the margin of error for a 95% confidence interval is given by .When n=180n=180, a 95% confidence interval is given by .

A national opinion poll found that 44% of all American adults agree that parents should be given vouchers that can be applied toward their children's education at any public or private school of their choice. The result was based on a small sample. A)How large an SRS is required to obtain a margin of error of at most 0.03 in a 99% confidence interval? B) Answer the question in part A again but this time By using Phat=0.5. By how much do the two sample size differ?
In exploring possible sites for a convenience store in a large neighbourhood, the retail chain wants to know the proportion of ratepayers in favour of the proposal. If the estimate is required to be within 0.1 of the true proportion, would a random sample of size n = 100 from the council records be sufficient for a 95% confidence interval of this precision?
The production manager in an automobile plant is concerned with the number of cars that do not pass the final quality control inspection. In the last two hours he noted that in a sample of 120 cars only 92 were acceptable. The lower and upper limit of a 95% confidence interval for the true percentage of all cars that would not pass the final quality control inspection would be:
An epidemiologist is worried about the prevalence of the flu in East Vancouver and the potential shortage of vaccines for the area. She will need to provide a recommendation for how to allocate the vaccines appropriately across the city. She takes a simple random sample of 339 people living in East Vancouver and finds that 40 have recently had the flu. For each of the following statements, specify whether the statement is a correct interpretation of the 95% confidence interval for the true proportion of East Vancouver residents who have recently had the flu. A. 11.80% (40/339) of East Vancouver residents have recently had the flu. ? true false B. There is a 95% probability that the true proportion of East Vancouver residents who have recently had the flu equals 40/339. ? true false C. If another random sample of 339 East Vancouver residents is drawn, there is a 95% probability that the sample proportion of East Vancouver residents who have recently had the flu equals 40/339. ?…
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.

Given a large sample with a mean of 72 and a SEM of 10, input the smallest whole number (no decimal) that would fall outside a 95% confidence interval? It can either the upperbound or lowerbound.
Suppose a retailer claims that the average wait time for a customer on its support line is 185 seconds. A random sample of 53 customers had an average wait time of 177 seconds. Assume the population standard deviation for wait time is 53 seconds. Using a 95% confidence interval, does this sample support the retailers claim? A) Yes, because the retailers claim is beteeen the lower limit of __ seconds and the upper limit of __ seconds for the mean wait time. B) No, because the retailers claim is not between the lower limit of __ seconds and the upper limit of __ seconds for the mean wait time. Please help!
In order to estimate the overall proportion of students who favor a shorter semester system, we selected a simple random sample of 36 students and found that 24 of them favor a shorter semester system.(a) Construct a 90% confidence interval for the overall proportion of students who favor a shorter semester system.(b) Find the margin of error associated with this c.i. and interpret the answer in plain language.(c) In order for the margin of error to be no greater than 0.1 (or 10 percentage points), how large a sample should be drawn instead?
