The personnel department of a large corporation wants to estimate the family dental expenses of its employees to determine the feasibility of providing a dental insurance plan. A random sample of 12 employees reveals the following family dental expenses (in dollars). 115, 370, 250, 593, 540, 225, 177, 425, 318, 182, 275, 228 Construct a 97% confidence interval estimate for the average family dental expenses for all employees of this corporation. Place your LOWER limit, in dollars rounded to 2 decimal places, in the first blank. Do not use a dollar sign, a comma, or any other stray mark. For example, 123.45 would be a legitimate entry.___ Place your UPPER limit, in dollars rounded to 2 decimal places, in the second blank. Do not use a dollar sign, a comma, or any other stray mark. For example, 567.89 would be a legitimate entry.___

In a survey of 1,954 cellphone owners, adults aged 18 and over, 743 reported that they use their phone to keep themselves occupied during commercials or breaks in something they were watching on television, while 430 used their phone to check whether something they heard on television is true. Construct a 90% confidence interval estimate for the population proportion of adult cellphone owners who report that they use their phone to check whether something they heard on television was true. What is the margin of error? Lower limit: Upper limit: Margin of error = Hint: Use PHStat and answers should be accurate to 4 decimal places.

A random sample of 240 adults over the age of 40 found that 144 would use an online dating service. Another random sample of 234 adults age 40 and under showed that 131 would use an online dating service. Assuming all conditions are met, which of the following is the standard error for a 90 percent confidence interval to estimate the difference between the population proportions of adults within each age group who would use an online dating service?
The telephone company has the business objective of wanting to estimate the proportionof households that would purchase an additional telephone line if it were made available ata substantially reduced installation cost. Data are collected from a random sample of 500households. The results indicate that 135 of the households would purchase the additionaltelephone line at a reduced installation cost. Construct a 99% confidence interval estimatefor the population proportion of households that would purchase the additional telephoneline.
The National Sporting Goods Association found that 34% of Americans surveyed had gone swimming during the year. Assuming that the survey included a simple random sample of 1200 persons, construct a 95% confidence interval for the population proportion of Americans who went swimming during the year.
A telephone company has the business objective of wanting to estimate the proportion of households that would purchase an additional telephone line if it were made available at a reduced installation cost. Data is collected from a random sample of 500 households. The results indicate that 135 of the households would purchase the additional telephone line at a reduced installation cost. - construct a ninety nine percent confidence interval estimate for the population proportion of households that would purchase the additional telephone line.
The financial manager of a large department store selected a random sample of 200 of its creditcard customers and found that 136 had incurred interest charges during the previous yearbecause of an unpaid balance.a) Give the value of the point estimate for the true proportion of credit card customers whoincurred an interest charge during the previous year. (1)b) Compute a 90% confidence interval for the true proportion of credit card customers whoincurred an interest charge during the previous year and interpret your answer. (5)c) If the desired width of the 90% interval is 0.05, what sample size is necessary to ensurethis? (4)d) Does the upper limit of the interval in part b) specify a 90% upper confidence bound for theproportion being estimated? Explain.
in a survey of 2230 adults, 57% thinks that land travel through a tourist bus is much more reliable than taking personal van. At a 95% confidence level, what is the lower confidence limit percentage of all adults who think that taking a tourist bus is much more reliable than taking a personal van.

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?
