A public health official in Okeechobee county needs to estimate the average diastolic blood pressure of all residents in Okeechobee county for a report that is being prepared for the Florida Department of Health. The official randomly selected 128 Okeechobee county residents and found that the mean diastolic blood pressure of the sample was 74 millimeters of mercury (mm Hg). Using a 98% confidence level, determine the margin of error, EE, and a confidence interval for the mean diastolic blood pressure of all Okeechobee county residents. From past research, it is known that the standard deviation of the distribution of all Okeechobee county residents' diastolic blood pressure is 5 mm Hg. Report the confidence interval using interval notation. Round solutions to two decimal places, if necessary. The margin of error is given by E= A 98% confidence interval is given by

In a study of government financial aid for college students, it becomes necessary to estimate the percentage of full-time college students who earn a bachelor's degree in four years or less. Find the sample size needed to estimate that percentage. Use a 0.03 margin of error and use a confidence level 90%.
A public health official in Okeechobee county needs to estimate the average systolic blood pressure of all residents in Okeechobee county for a report that is being prepared for the Florida Department of Health. The official randomly selected 66 Okeechobee county residents and found that the mean systolic blood pressure of the sample was 122 millimeters of mercury (mm Hg). Using a 96% confidence level, determine the margin of error, E, and a confidence interval for the mean systolic blood pressure of all Okeechobee county residents. From past research, it is known that the standard deviation of the distribution of all Okeechobee county residents' systolic blood pressure is 9 mm Hg. Report the confidence interval using interval notation. Round solutions to two decimal places, if necessary. The margin of error is given by E= A 96% confidence interval is given by=
Calculate a confidence interval based on the sample data and interpret this confidence interval.
An environmental science teacher at a high school with a large population of students wanted to estimate the proportion of students at the school who regularly recycle plastic bottles. The teacher selected a random sample of students at the school to survey. Each selected student went into the teacher’s office, one at a time, and was asked to respond yes or no to the following question. Based on the responses, a 95 percent confidence interval for the proportion of all students at the school who would respond yes to the question was calculated as (0.584, 0.816 ). (b) Given the method used by the environmental science teacher to collect the responses, explain how bias might have been introduced and describe how the bias might affect the point estimate of the proportion of all students at the school who would respond yes to the question.

Based on the responses, a 95 percent confidence interval for the proportion of all students at the school who would respond yes to the question was calculated as (0.584, 0.816 ). (c) The statistics teacher at the high school was concerned about the potential bias in the survey. To obtain a potentially less biased estimate of the proportion, the statistics teacher used an alternate method for collecting student responses. A random sample of 300 students was selected, and each student was given the following instructions on how to respond to the question. • In private, flip a fair coin. • If heads, you…
