In a study of cell phone use and brain hemispheric dominance, an Internet survey was e-mailed to 5000 subjects randomly selected from an online otological group (focused on ears), and 717 surveys were returned. Use the bootstrap method and the provided 200 bootstrap samples to construct a 99% confidenestimate of the proportion of returned surveys. How does this result compare to the 99% confidence interval estimate of 0.131

During a flu vaccine shortage in the United States, less than a majority of people were able to receive the vaccine. The results of a survey given to a random sample of 2,350 vaccine-eligible people indicated that 978 of the 2,350 people had received flu vaccine. a) Construct and interpret a 95 percent confidence interval for the proportion of vaccine-eligible people who had received flu vaccine.
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 order to judge the effectiveness of an advertising campaign for a certain brand of pretzel, a company obtained a simple random sample of 95 convenience store receipts the week before the ad campaign began, and found that 28 of them showed a purchase of the pretzels. Another simple random sample of 65 receipts was taken the week after the ad campaign, and 33 of them showed a pretzel purchase. Construct a 98% confidence interval for the difference between the proportions of customers purchasing pretzels before and after the ad campaign. Interpret the results. A marketing manager claims that the proportion of customers who purchased pretzels did not change after the ad campaign. Does the confidence interval contradict this claim?
In a two-proportion study, we have p1= 0.682 with a sample size of 49 and p2= 0.612 with a sample size of 54. What would be the standard error in computing a confidence interval for the difference of proportions?
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:
From a simple random sample of 400 of the 1,395 colleges in our population, it was found that business statistics was a two-semester course in 141 of the sampled colleges. Estimate the proportion of all colleges for which the course is two semesters long, and find a 90% confidence interval.
In a study to compare two different corrosion inhibitors, specimens of stainless steel were immersed for four hours in a solution containing sulfuric acid and a corrosion inhibitor. Forty-seven specimens in the presence of inhibitor A had a mean weight loss of 242 mg and a standard deviation of 20 mg, and 42 specimens in the presence of inhibitor B had a mean weight loss of 220 mg and a standard deviation of 31 mg. Find a 95% confidence interval for the difference in mean weight loss between the two inhibitors.
