A poll was taken of 1010 students in a state, about whether or not they play some sports during college. In this sample, 202 students responded "yes". a) Use these data to find a 95% confidence interval for the population proportion p of all students in this state who play some sports during college. b) What is the sample size needed that would ensure an error margin at most .01 for a 95% confidence interval, if the sample proportion is unknown ?

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?
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?
A local school board wants to determine the proportion of households in the district that would support a proposal to start the school year a week earlier. They ask a random sample of 100 households whether they would support the proposal, and 62 households stated that they would. Assuming that conditions have been met, what is the 90% confidence interval for the true proportion of households that would support the proposal?
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?
From a random sample of 185 children from school G, 108 indicated they wanted to study science in college. From a different random sample of 165 children from school H, 92 indicated they wanted to study science in college. Assuming all conditions for inference are met, which of the following is closest to the standard error for a confidence interval for the difference in population proportions between the two schools of children who want to study science in college?
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 . When n=451n=451, the margin of error for a 95% confidence interval is given by .When n=451n=451, a…
Out of 67,410 surgeries tracked in a study in the U.K., 2832 were followed by surgical site infections (Coello et al. 2005). a. What is a 95% confidence interval for the proportion of surgeries followed by surgical site infection in the U.K.? b. Assume that the data are a random sample.If the study had followed a total of only 674 surgeries from the same population, would the confidence interval have been wider or narrower?
