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,…
A November 2018 CBS News Poll found that 35% of its sample planned to use online retailers for most holiday shopping. Give a 95% confidence interval for the proportion of all adults who plan to shop in this way, assuming that the result ˆp=0.35 comes from a sample size n= 650 n=1800 n=500 Explain briefly what your results show about the effect of increasing the size of a sample on the width of the confidence interval.
In August 2004, Time magazine, reporting on a survey of men’s attitudes, noted that “Young men are more comfortable than older men talking about their problems.” The survey reported that 80 of 129 surveyed 18- to 24-year old men and 98 of 184 25- to 34-year old men said they were comfortable. Construct a 95% confidence interval for the difference between the proportion of younger men who are more comfortable talking about their problems and the proportion of older men who are more comfortable talking about their problems. Interpret your result.

It was found that in a sample of 90 teenage boys, 70% of them have received speeding tickets. What is the 90% confidence interval of the true proportion of teenage boys who have received speeding tickets? Given the above information, how many boys must be sampled to be within 2% of true proportion in a 90% confidence interval? b. If no information is given for the proportion, how many boys must be sampled?
