In a study of the accuracy of fast food drive through orders, restaurant A had257 accurate orders and 67 that were not accurate. a) construct a 95%confidence interval. Express the percentage in decimal form b) compare the results from part a) to this 95 % confidence interval for the percentage of orders that are not accurate at restaurant B: 0.184< p<0.267. What do you conclude?

1. A recent survey showed that from a sample of 500 packages delivered by a Postal Service, 480were delivered on time. a) Construct a 95% confidence interval for the proportion of all packages that are deliveredon time by the Postal Service.
Suppose that a safety group surveyed 1,100 drivers. Among those surveyed, 65% said that careless or aggressive driving was the biggest threat on the road, and 25% said that cell phone usage by other drivers was the driving behavior that annoyed them the most. Based on these data and assuming that the sample was a simple random sample, construct and interpret a 95% confidence interval estimate for the true proportion in the population of all drivers who are annoyed by cell phone users. The confidence interval estimate is ??––––––??> (Round to three decimal places as needed. Use ascending order.) Interpret the confidence interval estimate. A. There is a 0.95 probability that the population proportion of drivers who are annoyed by cell phone users is in the interval. B. There is 95% confidence that the population proportion of drivers who are annoyed by cell phone users is in the interval. C. There is 95% confidence that the population proportion…
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?
To assess the effectiveness of a kindergarten-readiness program, 15 children from a random sample were each given a diagnostic assessment before beginning the program and a follow-up assessment after completing the program. For each child, the difference in the score points between the two assessments was calculated and used to create the 95 percent confidence interval (20.1,23.9)(20.1,23.9). Assuming all conditions for inference are met, which of the following is a correct interpretation of the interval? A) For all children in the program, 95 percent of the children will have a mean difference in scores of between 20.1 points and 23.9 points. B) There is a 0.95 probability that the mean difference in scores for all children in the sample is between 20.1 points and 23.9 points. C) There is a 0.95 probability that the mean difference in scores for the children in the program is between 20.1 points and 23.9 points. D) We are 95 percent confident that the mean difference in scores for…
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,…
In a study designed to assess the side effects of two drugs, 50 animals were given drug A, and 50 animals were given Drug B. Of the 50 receiving Drug A, 11 showed undesirable side effects, while 8 of those receiving Drug B reacted similarly. Find the 98% confidence interval for the true difference in population proportions, pˆ A − pˆ B.

1) A Gallup poll of 1015 randomly selected adults found that 69% would oppose a law that limited the size of soft drinks and other sugary beverages served in restaurants. Calculate and interpret a 95% confidence interval for the proportion of all adults that would oppose a law limiting the size of soft drinks.
In an experiment of normal body temperatures in degrees Fahrenheit, 6 males ages 25-40 were given a random temperature check. The results were as follows: 97.1 99.0 98.2 98.9 98.1 99.4 a. Construct and interpret a 95% Confidence Interval for the average normal body temperature of males ages 25-40. b. Construct and interpret a 95% Prediction Interval for the next temperature taken. c. The average normal body temperature is generally accepted as 98.6 °F. Given the above data, should scientists reconsider this general statement? Use ? = 0.05.
The International Nanny Association (INA) reports that in a sample of 928 in- home child care providers (nannies), 128 have passed the INA Nanny Credential Exam (2014 International Nanny Association Salary and Benefits Survey). A. Use Wilson’s adjustment to find a 95% confidence interval for the true proportion of all nannies who have passed the INA certification exam. B. We want to decide whether the proportion of who passed the INA certification exam exceeds than .12 answer both a and b.
In a survey of 500 students, 180 students said that they prefer classes on Mondays and Wednesdays rather than on Tuesdays and Thursdays. Using a 95% confidence interval, answer the following questions. a. What is the margin of error for this study? b. Construct a 95% confidence interval that estimates the proportion of students that prefer classes on Mondays and Wednesdays.
