Of 520 samples of seafood purchased from various kinds of food stores in different regions of a country and geneticallycompared to standard gene fragments that can identify the species, 81% were mislabeled.a) Construct a 95% confidence interval for the proportion of all seafood sold in the country that is mislabeled ormisidentified.b) Explain what your confidence interval says about seafood sold in the country.c) A government spokesperson claimed that the sample size was too small, relative to the billions of pieces of seafoodsold each year, to generalize. Is this criticism valid?a) What is the 95% confidence interval?The 95% confidence interval is from 85.6 % to 92.4%.(Round to one decimal place as needed.)

In order to estimate the proportion of entering students who graduate within six years, the administration at a state university examined the records of 400 randomly selected students who entered the university six years ago, and found that 108 had graduated. Construct a 95% confidence interval for the population proportion of students who graduate within six years.
A computer software magazine compares the rates of malware infection for computers protected by security software A with the rates of infection for computers protected by security software B.They found that out of 787 computers with security software A, 72 became infected with some type of malware after 1000 hours of internet interaction. For security software B, 37 out of 834 computers became infected after 1000 hours of internet interaction.Assuming these to be random samples of infection rates for the two security software packages, construct a 98% confidence interval for the difference between the proportions of infection for the two types of security software packages. Interpret the results. Does the confidence interval contradict the claim that the proportion of infections is the same for the two types of security software?
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 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.
Of 515 samples of seafood purchased from various kinds of food stores in different regions of a country and genetically compared to standard gene fragments that can identify the species, 79% were mislabeled. a) Construct a 90% confidence interval for the proportion of all seafood sold in the country that is mislabeled or misidentified. b) Explain what your confidence interval says about seafood sold in the country. c) A government spokesperson claimed that the sample size was too small, relative to the billions of pieces of seafood sold each year, to generalize. Is this criticism valid? a) What is the 90% confidence interval? The 90% confidence interval is from nothing% to nothing%. (Round to one decimal place as needed.) b) What does the confidence interval say about seafood sold in the country? A. We are 90% confident that the interval captures the true proportion of all seafood sold in the country that is mislabeled. B. In 90% of samples…
