Question
In a survey of 464 registered voters, 143 of them wished to see Mayor Paz lose her next election. The Paz campaign claims that no more than 31% of registered voters wish to see her defeated. Does the 98% confidence interval for the proportion support this claim? First construct the 98% confidence interval for the proportion of registered voters who wish to see Paz defeated then interpret the results.

A health professional in Chicago wanted to determine if people in Chicago had similar feelings toward their health. In a sample of 610 people in Chicago, 70 described their health as poor, 180 as good, 220 as very good, and 140 as excellent.

- A political candidate has asked you to conduct a poll to determine what percentage of people support her. If the candidate only wants a 3% margin of error at a 98% confidence level, what size of sample is needed? The political candidate will need to sample people.arrow_forwardIn a survey of 1000 adult Americans, 45.7% indicated that they were somewhat interested or very interested in having web access in their cars. Suppose that the marketing manager of a car manufacturer claims that the 45.7% is based only on a sample and that 45.7% is close to half, so there is no reason to believe that the proportion of all adult Americans who want car web access is less than 0.50. Is the marketing manager correct in his claim? Provide statistical evidence to support your answer. For purposes of this exercise, assume that the sample can be considered as representative of adult Americans. Test the relevant hypotheses using ? = 0.05. Find the test statistic and P-value. (Round your test statistic to two decimal places and your P-value to four decimal places.) z= P-value= chose the conclusion in the context of the problem. a) Reject H0.

- Independent random samples of 100 east-side residents and 120 west-side residents of a large city were asked whether they will vote for candidate Jones in an upcoming election. Of the 100 east-side residents, 70 said they plan to vote for Jones. Of the 120 west-side residents, 72 said they plan to vote for Jones. In the calculation of a 90% confidence interval for the difference in the proportion of east-side and the proportion of west-side residents that will vote for candidate Jones, which of the following is the margin of error? (A) 1.28 (0.7)(0.3) (0.6)(0.4) 100 120 (B) 1.645 (0.7)(0.3) (0.6)(0.4) 100 120 (C) 1.96 + (0.7)(0.3) (0.6)(0.4) 100 120 142 78 1 1 (D) 1.645 + 220 220 100 120 142 78 1 1 (E) 1.96 + 220 220 100 120arrow_forwardA political researcher takes a survey of 310 randomly selected registered voters in Orlando, and each person was asked who they plan on voting for in the 2024 presidential election. 110 said they plan on voting for Candidate A, 185 said they plan on voting for Candidate B, and 15 were unsure or plan to vote for another candidate.
