In a survey of 485 potential jurors, one study found that 350 were regular watchers of at least one crime-scene forensics television series. A USE SALT (a) Assuming that it is reasonable to regard this sample of 485 potential jurors as representative of potential jurors in the United States, use the given information to construct a 95% confidence interval for the true proportion of potential jurors who regularly watch at least one crime-scene investigation series. (Use Table 3 in Appendix A. Give the answer to three decimal places.) (b) Would a 99% confidence interval be wider or narrower than the 95% confidence interval from Part (a)? O narrower O wider

In a survey of 500 potential jurors, one study found that 350 were regular watchers of at least one crime-scene forensics television series. Assuming that it is reasonable to regard this sample of 500 potential jurors as representative of potential jurors in the United States, use the given information to construct a 95% confidence interval for the true proportion of potential jurors who regularly watch at least one crime-scene investigation series.

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?
In doing market research for the Ford Motor Company, you find that a random sample of 800 households includes 721 in which a vehicle is owned. Based on those results, construct a 98% confidence interval for the percentage of all households in which a vehicle is owned.
In a survey of 495 potential jurors, one study found that 360 were regular watchers of at least one crime-scene forensics television series. (a) Assuming that it is reasonable to regard this sample of 495 potential jurors as representative of potential jurors in the United States, use the given information to construct a 95% confidence interval for the true proportion of potential jurors who regularly watch at least one crime-scene investigation series.

The production manager in an automobile plant is concerned with the number of cars that do not pass the final quality control inspection. In the last two hours he noted that in a sample of 120 cars only 92 were acceptable. The lower and upper limit of a 95% confidence interval for the true percentage of all cars that would not pass the final quality control inspection would be:
A sample of 250 items from lot A contains 10 defective items, and a sample of 300 itemsfrom lot B is found to contain 18 defective items. Construct a 98% confidence interval for the difference of proportions of defective items.
In a study of contamination at landfills containing construction and demolition waste, 42 leachate specimens were tested for the presence of several contaminants. Of the 42 specimens, 26 contained detectable levels of lead, and 32 contained detectable levels of chromium. Is it possible, using the methods of this section, to find a 95% confidence interval for the difference between the probability that a specimen will contain a detectable amount of lead and the probability that it will contain a detectable amount of chromium? If so, find the confidence interval. If not, explain why not.
In a random sample of 190 adults (ages 21-30), it was found that 70% of them have received speeding tickets. Based on this data, what would be the 90% confidence interval of the true proportion of young adults who have received speeding tickts?
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
According to some car loan statistics, 44% of Americans are relying on an auto loan to pay for their cars. Assuming this finding to be based on a simple random sample of 1500 Americans, construct and interpret the 95% confidence interval for the population proportion of Americans who have a car loan.
