1.A New York Times/CBS poll asked the question, "What do you think is the most important problem facing this country today?" It found that twenty-four percent of the respondents answered "crime and violence." The margin of sampling error was plus or minus 2.7 percentage points. Following the convention that the margin of error was based on a 95% confidence interval, find the 95% confidence interval for the percentage of the population that would respond "crime and violence" to the question asked by the pollsters.

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,…

Gender and Gun Control A survey reported in Time magazine included the question “Do you favor a federal law requiring a 15 day waiting period to purchase a gun?” Results from a random sample of US citizens showed that 318 of the 520 men who were surveyed supported this proposed law while 379 of the 460 women sampled said “yes”. Use this information to find and interpret a 90% confidence interval for the difference in the proportions of men and women who agree with this proposed law.
