A) Many people think that a national lobby's successful fight against gun control
legislation is reflecting the will of a minority of Americans. In a sample of 3,200
people, 2,250 were in favor of gun control legislation. Estimate the true mean of all
Americans who are in favor of gun control legislation using a 94% confidence
interval. Assume the population standard deviation is 490. (Round answer to 1
decimal)
B) A study found that a 95% confidence interval for the mean u of a particular
population was computed from a random sample of 1200 people and found it to be
10 4. Therefore, we may conclude:
1) That there is a 95% probability that u is between 6 and 14.
2) That there is a 95% probability that the true mean is
true margin of error is 4.
and a 95% chance the
3) That if we took many, many additional samples and from each computed a 95%
confidence interval for u, approximately 95% of these intervals would contain u.
4) That there is a 95% probability that the true mean is + or - 10 units from the
population mean with a margin of error of 4.
5) All are correct
