It is said that happy and healthy workers are efficient and productive. A company that manufactures exercising machines wanted to know the percentage of large companies that provide on-site health club facilities. A sample of 240 such companies showed that 101 of them provide such facilities on site. Construct a 95% confidence interval for the percentage of all such companies that provide such facilities on site. What is the margin of error for this estimate? Round your answers to one decimal place. Confidence interval: i % to i % Margin of error: i !

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:
Suppose that a safety group surveyed 1,200 drivers. Among those surveyed,78% said that careless or aggressive driving was the biggest threat on the road, and 33% 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 99% 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 _____ to _____. (Round to three decimal places as needed. Use ascending order.)
A recent study among 150 street hawkers in Cape Town showed that 48 of them are of the opinion that the local regulations obstruct their business. a) Construct and interpret a 95% confidence interval based on this sample.
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 joint USA Today/CNN/Gallup Poll in July 2020 indicated that of 832 white adults, 46% thought affirmative action has been good for the country and 44% thought it had not been good; the remaining 10% were undecided. Construct and interpret a 95% confidence interval for the true proportion of American white adults believing that affirmative action has been good.
A government agency finds that in a sample of 22 randomly-selected commuting times for Americans, the average commuting time was 26.97 minutes with a standard deviation of 11.9 minutes, what is the UPPER endpoint of a 95% confidence interval for the population mean?
In a study designed to determine whether there was a cluster of brain cancer cases at a Pratt & Whitney plant, record from 223,000 employees were studied and 723 employees with brain tumors were found. Treat those employees as a random sample and construct a 95% confidence interval estimate of the proportion of all adults who develop such tumors. write a brief statement interpreting that confidence interval.
A random sample of 240 adults over the age of 40 found that 144 would use an online dating service. Another random sample of 234 adults age 40 and under showed that 131 would use an online dating service. Assuming all conditions are met, which of the following is the standard error for a 90 percent confidence interval to estimate the difference between the population proportions of adults within each age group who would use an online dating service?
The St. Lucie County Economic Development Board needs to estimate the proportion of all county residents who have earned at least a bachelor's degree. A random sample conducted by the St. Lucie County Economic Development Board found that 20.8% of all county residents held at least a bachelor's degree.Find three different confidence intervals - one with sample size 487, one with sample size 777, and one with sample size 938. Assume that 20.8% of the county residents in each sample have earned at least a bachelor's degree. Notice how the sample size affects the margin of error and the width of the interval.Report confidence interval solutions using interval notation. Report all solutions in percent form, rounded to two decimal places, if necessary. When n=487n=487, the margin of error for a 95% confidence interval is given by .When n=487n=487, a 95% confidence interval is given by .

A healthcare information company is interested in estimating the average charge for a standard patient visit to a chiropractor in Maryland, after applying the discount negotiated with a large HMO plan. Data is collected from 16 randomly selected chiropractic practices in Maryland, and the following are some summary statistics:- Mean charge: 25.50 USD- SD of charges: 2.10 USDAssuming the charge data is normally distributed for all chiropractic practices in Maryland, estimate a 95% confidence interval for the mean amount charged by Maryland chiropractors (t (15, 0.05) = 2.13):
