(b) Verify that the requirements for constructing a confidence interval about p are satisfied. Are the requirements for constructing a confidence satisfied? O A. Yes, the requirements for constructing a confidence interval are satisfied. O B. No, the requirement that the sample size is no more than 5% of the population is not satisfied. O C. No, the requirement that each trial be independent is not satisfied. O D. No, the requirement that np (1-p) is greater than 10 is not satisfied.

In a survey of 500 potential jurors, one study found that 350 were regular watchers of at least one crime-scene forensics television series. (a) 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. (Give the answer to three decimal places.)( , )
To build an interval estimate for the proportion (percentage) of American households who live paycheck-to-paycheck, a random sample 754 full-time workers showed 606 live paycheck-to-paycheck. 19 In the previous question, build a confidence interval such that in 19 out of 20 cases such intervals would capture the actual population proportion of households who live paycheck-to-paycheck is ________. a 0.794 0.814 b 0.787 0.821 c 0.775 0.832 d 0.756 0.851
A 90 percent confidence interval is to be created to estimate the proportion of television viewers in a certain areawho favor moving the broadcast of the late weeknight news to an hour earlier than it is currently. Initially, theconfidence interval will be created using a simple random sample of 9,000 viewers in the area. Assuming that thesample proportion does not change, what would be the relationship between the width of the original confidenceinterval and the width of a second 90 percent confidence interval that is created based on a sample of only 1,000viewers in the area?(A) The second confidence interval would be 9 times as wide as the original confidence interval.(B) The second confidence interval would be 3 times as wide as the original confidence interval.(C) The width of the second confidence interval would be equal to the width of the original confidence interval.(D) The second confidence interval would be 1/3 as wide as the original confidence interval.(E) The second…
A sociologist is interested in surveying workers in computer-related jobs to estimate the proportion of such workers who have changed jobs within the past year. a) In the absence of preliminary data, how large a sample must be taken to ensure that a 95% confidence interval will specify the proportion to within ±0.05? b) In a sample of 100 workers, 20 of them had changed jobs within the past year. Find a 95% confidence interval for the proportion of workers who have changed jobs within the past year. c) Based on the data in part (b), estimate the sample size needed so that the 95% confidence interval will specify the proportion to within ±0.05.
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?
An investigator computes a 95% confidence interval for a population mean on the basis of a sample of size 70. If she wishes to compute a 95% confidence interval that is half as wide, how large a sample does she need?
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
