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.

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 ). (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…
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.
Bulletproof Vests. In the article “A Common Police Vest Fails the Bulletproof Test,” E. Lichtblau reported on a U.S. Department of Justice study of 103 bulletproof vests containing a fiber known as Zylon. In ballistics tests, only 4 of these vests produced acceptable safety outcomes (and resulted in immediate changes in federal safety guidelines). Find a 95% confidence interval for the proportion of all such vests that would produce acceptable safety outcomes by using the a. one-proportion z-interval procedure. b. one-proportion plus-four z-interval procedure. (See page 556 for the details of this procedure.) c. Explain the large discrepancy between the two methods. d. Which confidence interval would you use? Explain your answer.
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?

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…
