a. What is the best estimate for the standard error of the sampling distribution?b. What is the value of Z for this confidence interval?c. What is the margin of error for this confidence interval? According to a Pew Research study conducted in the second week in April, 66% of a random sampleof 4,917 adults expressed concern that restrictions on public activity by state governments inresponse to the Coronavirus would be lifted too quickly. Calculate a 99% confidence interval for theproportion of adults in the U.S. who were concerned that restrictions would be lifted too quickly,and answer the following questions based on those calculations.a. What is the best estimate for the standard error of the sampling distribution?b. What is the value of Z for this confidence interval?c. What is the margin of error for this confidence interval?

A research group studying cell phone habits asked the question “Do you ever use your cell phone to make a payment at a convenience store?” to people selected from two random samples of cell phone users. One sample consisted of older adults, ages 35 years and older, and the other sample consisted of younger adults, ages 18 years to 34 years. The proportion of people who answered yes in each sample was used to create a 95 percent confidence interval of (0.097,0.125)(0.097,0.125) to estimate the difference (younger minus older) between the population proportions of people who would answer yes to the question. Which of the following is the best description of what is meant by 95 percent confidence? In repeated random sampling with the same sample size, approximately 95% of the sample proportions from the younger group will be between 0.097 and 0.125 greater than the sample proportion from the older group. A In repeated random sampling with the same sample size,…
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. ?…
In a survey of 500 potential jurors, one study found that 350 were regular watchers of at least one crime-scene forensics television series. Assuming that it is reasonable to regard this sample of 500 potential jurors as representative of potential jurors in the United States, use the given information to construct a 95% confidence interval for the true proportion of potential jurors who regularly watch at least one crime-scene investigation series.
Suppose that a safety group surveyed 1,100 drivers. Among those surveyed, 65% said that careless or aggressive driving was the biggest threat on the road, and 25% said that cell phone usage by other drivers was the driving behavior that annoyed them the most. Based on these data and assuming that the sample was a simple random sample, construct and interpret a 95% confidence interval estimate for the true proportion in the population of all drivers who are annoyed by cell phone users. The confidence interval estimate is ??––––––??> (Round to three decimal places as needed. Use ascending order.) Interpret the confidence interval estimate. A. There is a 0.95 probability that the population proportion of drivers who are annoyed by cell phone users is in the interval. B. There is 95% confidence that the population proportion of drivers who are annoyed by cell phone users is in the interval. C. There is 95% confidence that the population proportion…
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…
The St. Lucie County Health Department needs to estimate the proportion of all children in the county aged 19-35 months that are completely up to date with all state-recommended immunizations. The St. Lucie County Health Department found that 67% of a random sample of children in the county aged 19-35 months were completely up to date with all state-recommended immunizations. Find three different confidence intervals - one with sample size 239, one with sample size 596, and one with sample size 937. Assume that 67% of the children each sample are completely up to date with all state recommended immunizations. 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=239n=239, the margin of error for a 97% confidence interval is given b When n=239n=239, a 97% confidence interval is given by When n=596n=596,…

The research group asked the following question of individuals who earned in excess of $100,000 per year and those who earned less than $100,000 per year: "Do you believe that it is morally wrong for unwed women to have children?" Of the 1,205 individuals who earned in excess of $100,000 per year, 712 said yes; of the 1,310 individuals who earned less than $100,000 per year, 693 said yes. Construct a 95% confidence interval to determine if there is a difference in the proportion of individuals who believe it is morally wrong for unwed women to have children.The lower bound is _______The upper bound is________. (Round to three decimal places as needed.)
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.
