A certain article indicates that in a sample of 1,000 dog owners, 620 said that they take more pictures of their dog than their significant others or friends. In addition, 470 said that they are more likely to complain to their dog than to a friend. Suppose that it is reasonable to consider this sample as representative of the population of dog owners. (a) Construct a 90% confidence interval for the proportion of dog owners who take more pictures of their dog than of their significant others or friends. (Round your answers to three decimal places.) ( , ) Interpret the interval choose one. a. We are 90% confident that the mean number of dog owners who take more pictures of their dog than of their significant others or friends falls within this interval. b. There is a 90% chance that the true proportion of dog owners who take more pictures of their dog than of their significant others or friends falls within this interval. c. There is a 90% chance…
A recent survey on people’s opinion as to whether the traditional TV licence should be replaced by a device independent broadcasting fee showed that out of a random sample of 115 individuals from the population, 46 of them stated were in favour, i.e. a sample proportion of 0.40. Which of the following is a 99% confidence interval for the true proportion of the adult Irish population that support the new fee structure?

In the past, 44% of those taking a public accounting qualifying exam have passed the exam on their first try. Lately, the availability of exam preparation books and tutoring sessions may have improved the likelihood of an individual’s passing on his or her first try. In a sample of 250 recent applicants, 130 passed on their first attempt. At the 0.025 level of significance, can we conclude that the proportion passing on the first try has increased? Construct a 95% confidence interval for π and using that interval, can you judge whether the proportion passing on the first try has increased?
In a survey of 31 students at a local high school, 15 support changing the school's mascot. Find the 95% confidence interval for the true population proportion of students who support changing school's mascot.Choose the correct confidence interval and critical value used in the calculation. A. (0.254,0.714) (Zc=2.576) B. (0.304,0.664)(Zc=1.96) C. (0.304,0.664)(tc=2.0423) D. 0.334,0.634)(Zc=1.645) E. (0.274,0.694) (Zc=2.326)
During a flu vaccine shortage in the United States, less than a majority ofpeople 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. b.Suppose a similar survey will be given to vaccine-eligible people in Canada by Canadian health officials. A 95 percent confidence interval for the proportion of people who will have received fluvaccine is to be constructed. Using 0.5 as your estimated proportion, what is the smallest sample size that can be used to guarantee that the margin oferror will be less than or equal to 0.02?
A New York Times/CBS News Poll asked a random sample of U.S. adults the question “Do you favor an amendment to the Constitution that would permit organized prayer in public schools?” Based on this poll, the 95% confidence interval for the population proportion who favor such an amendment is (0.63, 0.69). Based on this poll, a reporter claims that more than two-thirds of U.S. adults favor such an amendment. Use the confidence interval to evaluate the reporter’s claim. Because the value 23=0.66723=0.667 (and values greater than 2323) are in this interval, it is plausible that more than 2323 of the population favor such an amendment. Thus, there is convincing evidence that more than 2323 of U.S. adults favor such an amendment. Because 23=0.66723=0.667 is included in this interval, it is plausible that more than 2323 of U.S. adults favor such an amendment. 95% of the time there will be more than two-thirds of U.S. adults in favor of such an amendment. Because 0.95 > 0.667, the…

A random sample of residents in city J were surveyed about whether they supported raising taxes to increase bus service for the city. From the results, a 95 percent confidence interval was constructed to estimate the proportion of people in the city who support the increase. The interval was (0.04, 0.09) . Based on the confidence interval, which of the following claims is supported? a Fewer than 10 percent of the residents support the increase. b Fewer than 25 percent of the residents support the increase. c More than 90 percent of the residents support the increase. d More than 40 percent of the residents support the increase. e More than 60 percent of the residents support the increase.
