- What would answer be at 99% confidence interval?arrow_forwardA sample of freshman takes a reading comprehension test and their scores are summarized below. Sample scores: 16, 8, 8, 6, 9, 11, 13, 9, 10 a. if the mean for the general population on this test is m=12, can you conclude that this sample is significantly different from the population. Test with a=.05 b. Calculate a 90% confidence interval around your mean.arrow_forwardA political candidate has asked you to conduct a poll to determine what percentage of people support her. If the candidate only wants a 9% margin of error at a 90% confidence level, what size of sample is needed?arrow_forward
- A research institute poll asked respondents if they felt vulnerable to identity theft. In the poll, n=935 and x=561 who said "yes." Use a 95% confidence level.arrow_forwardA quality-conscious disk manufacturer wishes to know the fraction of disks his company makes which are defective. Step 2 of 2: Suppose a sample of 542 floppy disks is drawn. Of these disks, 37 were defective. Using the data, construct the 95% confidence interval for the population proportion of disks which are defective. Round your answers to three decimal places.arrow_forwardA study determined that 60% of women older than age 50 have annual mammograms. A researcher believes that the 60% rate is no longer valid and the proportion should be higher. To see if this proportion is still valid, he surveys 100 women, 75 of whom say they have annual mammograms. if a=0.05, caculate the sample proportion, confidence interval, margin of error, and p value.arrow_forward
- A survey asked, "How many tattoos do you currently have on your body?" Of the 1205 males surveyed, 199 responded that they had at least one tattoo. Of the 1030 females surveyed, 127 responded that they had at least one tattoo. Construct a 99% confidence interval to judge whether the proportion of males that have at least one tattoo differs significantly from the proportion of females that have at least one tattoo. Interpret the interval. Let p1 represent the proportion of males with tattoos and p2 represent the proportion of females with tattoos. Find the 99% confidence interval for p1−p2. The lower bound is nothing. The upper bound is nothing. (Round to three decimal places as needed.)arrow_forwardA survey of 240 teachers found that two-thirds of those surveyed do not live in Sydney. Can you conclude statistically that the population proportion who do not live in Sydney is less than 0.75? Use a 95% confidence interval. What is the confidence interval and is 0.75 within the interval?arrow_forwardThe question was asking for 99% confidence interval for poparrow_forward

What is the degree of freedom we will use?arrow_forwardOnline News In a Harris poll of 2036 adults, 40% said that they prefer to get their news online. Construct a 95% confidence interval estimate of the percentage of all adults who say that they prefer to get their news online. Can we safely say that fewer than 50% of adults prefer to get their news online?arrow_forward
