uled in ône sample of offspring that consisted of 447 green peas and 165 yellow peas.a. Construct a 95% confidence interval to estimate of the percentage of yellow peas.b. It was expected that 25% of the offspring peas would be yellow. Given that the percentage of offspring yellow peas from the sample is not 25%, do the resultscontradict expectations?a. Construct a 95% confidence interval. Express the percentages in decimal form.

Given Number of yellow peas=X=165, n=447+165 n=612 p^=x/n

An epidemiologist is worried about the prevalence of the flu in East Vancouver and the potential shortage of vaccines for the area. She will need to provide a recommendation for how to allocate the vaccines appropriately across the city. She takes a simple random sample of 339 people living in East Vancouver and finds that 40 have recently had the flu. For each of the following statements, specify whether the statement is a correct interpretation of the 95% confidence interval for the true proportion of East Vancouver residents who have recently had the flu. A. 11.80% (40/339) of East Vancouver residents have recently had the flu. ? true false B. There is a 95% probability that the true proportion of East Vancouver residents who have recently had the flu equals 40/339. ? true false C. If another random sample of 339 East Vancouver residents is drawn, there is a 95% probability that the sample proportion of East Vancouver residents who have recently had the flu equals 40/339. ?…
The International Nanny Association (INA) reports that in a sample of 928 in- home child care providers (nannies), 128 have passed the INA Nanny Credential Exam (2014 International Nanny Association Salary and Benefits Survey). A. Use Wilson’s adjustment to find a 95% confidence interval for the true proportion of all nannies who have passed the INA certification exam. B. We want to decide whether the proportion of who passed the INA certification exam exceeds than .12 answer both a and b.
In a survey of 600 personnel directors, 40% thought that they would be hiring new personnel over the next three months. (a) Construct a 97% confidence interval for the proportion of all personnel directors planning to hire personnel over the next three months? (b) What is margin of error used in (a)? (c) Find the necessary sample size, if they wish to be accurate within 3% of the true proportion.
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…
Suppose that a safety group surveyed 800 drivers. Among those surveyed, 83% said that careless or aggressive driving was the biggest threat on the road, and 34% said that cell phone usage by other drivers was the driving behavior that annoyed them the most.

In a situation where the sample size was decreased from 39 to 29 in a normally distributed data set, what would be the impact on the confidence interval?
A recent survey of cell phone users indicated that 56 percent of the respondents prefer to use cell phones for texting rather than for making phone calls. A 95 percent confidence interval for the estimate of all cell phone users who prefer to use cell phones for texting has a margin of error of 3 percent. Assume all conditions for inference have been met. Based on the confidence interval, which of the following claims is supported? Select A, B, C, or D Less than half of all people prefer texting. A More than half of all people prefer texting. B At least 60 percent of all people prefer texting. C At least 75 percent of all people prefer texting. D At least 95 percent of all people prefer texting. E
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
Refer to the accompanying data set of 20 randomly selected presidents. Treat the data as a sample and find the proportion of presidents who were taller than their opponents. Use that result to construct a 95% confidence interval estimate of the population percentage. Based on the result, does it appear that greater height is an advantage for presidential candidates? Why or why not? Construct a 95% confidence interval estimate of the percentage of presidents who were taller than their opponents.

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,…
