In a Gallup poll of 500 people in country of Starland in 2020, 45% answered “yes” to the question, “Would you be afraid to walk alone at night within a mile right around here?” (a) Test the null hypothesis that 50% of the Starland’s people answered “yes”. Use the p-value approach with α = 5%. (b) Construct a 95% confidence interval to test the hypothesis and conclude.

From a simple random sample of 400 of the 1,395 colleges in our population, it was found that business statistics was a two-semester course in 141 of the sampled colleges. Estimate the proportion of all colleges for which the course is two semesters long, and find a 90% confidence interval.
Alma is estimating the proportion of students in her school district who, in the past month, read at least 1 book. From a random sample of 50 students, she found that 32 students read at least 1 book last month. Assuming all conditions for inference are met, which of the following defines a 90 percent confidence interval for the proportion of all students in her district who read at least 1 book last month?
A national opinion poll found that 44% of all American adults agree that parents should be given vouchers that can be applied toward their children's education at any public or private school of their choice. The result was based on a small sample. A)How large an SRS is required to obtain a margin of error of at most 0.03 in a 99% confidence interval? B) Answer the question in part A again but this time By using Phat=0.5. By how much do the two sample size differ?
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 national opinion poll found that 44% of all American adults agree that parents should be given vouchers that are good for education at any public or private school of their choice. The result was based on a small sample. How large of a sample is required to obtain a margin of error of 0.03 in a 99% confidence interval? a. Use the national opinion poll from a previous study to find the sample size: b. Use the conservative guess of p = 0.5 to calculate the sample size:
