The manager of a local fast-food restaurant is concerned about evil customers who ask for a free cup of water when placing an order, but then fill the cup with a soft drink from the beverage fountain! The manager selects a random sample of 80 customers who asked for a water cup and found that 23 of those customers filled the cup with soda from the beverage fountain. Construct and interpret a 95% confidence interval for the proportion of all customers who, having asked for a cup of water when placing an order, will fill the cup with a soft drink from the beverage fountain. Be sure to go through the entire PANIC process.

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?
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:
In order to judge the effectiveness of an advertising campaign for a certain brand of pretzel, a company obtained a simple random sample of 80 convenience store receipts the week before the ad campaign began, found that 16 of them showed a purchase of the pretzels. Another simple random sample of 50 receipts was taken the week after the ad campaign and 28 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. Let p1 be the population proportion of convenience store receipts showed a purchase of the pretzels taken in the week before the ad campaign began, and p2 be the population proportion of convenience store receipts showed a purchase of the pretzels taken in the week after the ad campaign. •Find the point estimate. •Find the standard error. Round to four decimal places. •Find the margin of error. Round to four decimal places.

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.

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.
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 a random sample of 50 patients undergoing a standard surgical procedure, 15 required medication for post operative pain. In a random sample of 90 patients undergoing a new procedure, only 16 required pain medication. a)Are conditions met to perform inference onthis study? b)Construct and interpret a 95% confidence interval for the difference in the proportions of patients needing pain medication between the old and new procedures. c) A physician claims that the proportion of patients who need pain medication is the same for both procedures. Does the confidence interval contradict this claim? Why/Why not?
