TV advertising agencies face increasing challenges in reaching audience members because viewing TV programs via digital streaming is gaining in popularity. A poll reported that 59% of 2345 American adults surveyed said they have watched digitally streamed TV programming on some type of device. (a) Calculate and interpret a confidence interval at the 99% confidence level for the proportion of all adult Americans who watched streamed programming up to that point in time. (Round your answers to three decimal places.) (b) What sample size would be required for the width of a 99% CI to be at most 0.06 irrespective of the value of p̂? (Round your answer up to the nearest integer.)

The drug Viagra became available in the U.S. in May 1988, in the wake of an advertising campaign that was unprecedented in scope and intensity. A Gallup poll found that by the end of the first week of May, 643 out of 1,005 adults were aware that Viagra was an impotency medication. a) Is the sample size large enough to compute a confidence interval for the proportion of adults who were aware that Viagra was an impotency medication after the first week of May? Yes, because more than 10 adults were not aware of Viagra Yes, because the sample size is greater than 30 Yes, because more than 10 adults were aware of Viagra Yes, because both np̂ and n(1-p̂) are greater than 10 b)Using the information from questions 1-3, suppose that p̂ is 0.40 and the standard error of p̂ is 0.10. Compute a 90% confidence interval for the proportion of adults that were aware of Viagra. (0.2355, 0.5645) (0.3, 0.5) (0.2355, 0.4) (0.3, 0.4)
Are nursing salaries in Tampa, Florida, lower than those in Dallas, Texas? Salary data show staff nurses in Tampa earn less than staff nurses in Dallas (The Tampa Tribune, January 15, 2007). Suppose that in a follow-up study of 40 staff nurses in Tampa and 50 staff nurses in Dallas you obtain the following results. Tampa n1 = 40 X1 = $56,100 S1 = $6000 Dallas n2 = 50 X2 = $59,400 S2 = $7000 Complete the confidence interval of the data set

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.
