A researcher computed a 90% confidence interval for the proportion of students who smoke. If the researcher had instead used a 95% confidence interval, then the computed margin of error would have been smaller. True False
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?
An airline transports over 10 000 passengers daily, and the airline is curious what proportion of their passengers use mobile boarding passes instead of paper passes. They take a simple random sample of 80 passengers and find that 75% of them use mobile boarding passes. Based on this sample, which of the following is a 99%, percent confidence interval for the proportion of passengers who use mobile boarding passes?
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 a two-sided confidence interval involving two groups, when the signs of its lower and upper boundaries are not the same, why does the difference between the means of the two groups is insignificant?
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?
In general, would you expect a 90% confidence interval on μ to be longer or shorter than a 95% confidence interval based on the same sample?
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 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.
