Of 525 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 51% were mislabeled. a) Construct a 99% 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 99% confidence interval? The 99% confidence interval is from % to %. (Round to one decimal place as needed.)

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…
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.
In doing market research for the Ford Motor Company, you find that a random sample of 800 households includes 721 in which a vehicle is owned. Based on those results, construct a 98% confidence interval for the percentage of all households in which a vehicle is owned.

To find the proportion of San Diegans subscribed to Disney+ in 2019, a researcher randomly selected 200 people from San Diego and found that 101 were subscribed. a) Check that the assumptions are met for a confidence interval for proportions.
1) A Gallup poll of 1015 randomly selected adults found that 69% would oppose a law that limited the size of soft drinks and other sugary beverages served in restaurants. Calculate and interpret a 95% confidence interval for the proportion of all adults that would oppose a law limiting the size of soft drinks.
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?
In order to judge the effectiveness of an advertising campaign for a certain brand of pretzel, a company obtained a simple random sample of 95 convenience store receipts the week before the ad campaign began, and found that 28 of them showed a purchase of the pretzels. Another simple random sample of 65 receipts was taken the week after the ad campaign, and 33 of them showed a pretzel purchase. Construct a 98% confidence interval for the difference between the proportions of customers purchasing pretzels before and after the ad campaign. Interpret the results. A marketing manager claims that the proportion of customers who purchased pretzels did not change after the ad campaign. Does the confidence interval contradict this claim?
