In a nursing home study, the researchers found that 15 out of 34 randomly selected small nursing homes had a resident vaccination rate of less than 80%, while 17 out of 27 randomly selected large nursing homes had a resident vaccination rate of less than 80%. Construct the 99% confidence interval for the difference between proportion of small bursing homes with a resident vaccination rate of less than 80% and large nursing homes. Let small nursing homes be population 1. A. Find the point estimate B. Find the critical value(s) C. Find the margin of error D. Construct the confidence interval.

What is meant by the sample space of an experiment?
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?
A new television series must prove that it has more than 25% of the viewing audience after its initial 13-week run in order to be judged successful. Assume that in a sample of 400 households, 112 were watching the series. (b) Find a 99% confidence interval for the proportion of the viewing audience after its initial 13-week run
A computer software magazine compares the rates of malware infection for computers protected by security software A with the rates of infection for computers protected by security software B.They found that out of 787 computers with security software A, 72 became infected with some type of malware after 1000 hours of internet interaction. For security software B, 37 out of 834 computers became infected after 1000 hours of internet interaction.Assuming these to be random samples of infection rates for the two security software packages, construct a 98% confidence interval for the difference between the proportions of infection for the two types of security software packages. Interpret the results. Does the confidence interval contradict the claim that the proportion of infections is the same for the two types of security software?
The Okeechobee County Economic Development Board needs to estimate the proportion of all county residents who have earned at least a bachelor's degree. A random sample conducted by the Okeechobee County Economic Development Board found that 10.5% of all county residents held at least a bachelor's degree.Find three different confidence intervals - one with sample size 180, one with sample size 451, and one with sample size 621. Assume that 10.5% of the county residents in each sample have earned at least a bachelor's degree. Notice how the sample size affects the margin of error and the width of the interval.Report confidence interval solutions using interval notation. Report all solutions in percent form, rounded to two decimal places, if necessary. When n=180n=180, the margin of error for a 95% confidence interval is given by .When n=180n=180, a 95% confidence interval is given by . When n=451n=451, the margin of error for a 95% confidence interval is given by .When n=451n=451, a…
A college administrator collects data on a nationwide random sample of 382 students enrolled in M.B.A. programs and finds that 101 of these students have undergraduate degrees in business. Find the lower confidence limit of the 99% confidence interval for the proportion of such students in the nationwide population who have undergraduate degrees in business
A department store finds that in a random sample of 200 customers, 60% of the sampled customers had browsed its website prior to visiting the store. Based on this data, a 90% confidence interval for the population proportion of customers that browse the store’s website prior to visiting the store will be between _________________. 0.6588 and 0.6312 0.4528 and 0.5250 0.5960 and 6040 0.5978 and 0.6022 0.5430 and 0.6570
In a random sample of 50 patients undergoing a standard surgical procedure, 15 required medication for post operative pain. In a random sample of 90 patients undergoing a new procedure, only 16 required pain medication. a)Are conditions met to perform inference onthis study? b)Construct and interpret a 95% confidence interval for the difference in the proportions of patients needing pain medication between the old and new procedures. c) A physician claims that the proportion of patients who need pain medication is the same for both procedures. Does the confidence interval contradict this claim? Why/Why not?
In a preelection poll, a pollster finds that 442 out of 650 people polled favor Smith. Construct the 95% confidence interval for the proportion (nearest to 0.0001) of people in the whole population who favor Smith.
In a population where the proportion of people who have the ability to taste umami is unknown, a random sample of 100 people were tested and 74 could clearly distinguish umami from saltiness. Calculate the 95% and 99% population proportion confidence intervals for this finding.
