Using a 95% confidence interval and an error margin of +/- 3% determine the sample size that would generate the results of the following presidential approval ratings. (1) Barack Obama 63% approval rating at day 131 of presidency 2009 population: 232,637,362 (2) Donald Trump 40% approval rating at day 131 of presidency 2017 population: 251,489,792 (3) Joe Biden 54% approval rating at day 118 of presidency 2021 population: 258,213,334

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. ?…
In a study of cell phone use and brain hemispheric dominance, an Internet survey was e-mailed to 2482 subjects randomly selected from an online group involved with ears. 1095 surveys were returned. Construct a 90% confidence interval for the proportion of returned surveys. a) p = .441 b) E= 0.016 c) Construct the confidence interval= .425< p < .457 ***QUESTION** Write a statement that correctly interprets the confidence interval. Choose the correct answer below. A. 90% of sample proportions will fall between the lower bound and the upper bound. B. There is a 90% chance that the true value of the population proportion will fall between the lower bound and the upper bound. C. One has 90% confidence that the interval from the lower bound to the upper bound actually does contain the true value of the population proportion. D. One has 90% confidence that the sample proportion is equal to the population proportion.
In a study of government financial aid for college students, it becomes necessary to estimate the percentage of full-time college students who earn a bachelor's degree in four years or less. Find the sample size needed to estimate that percentage. Use a 0.03 margin of error and use a confidence level 90%.
In a study of cell phone use and brain hemispheric dominance, an internet survey was e-mailed to 2447 subjects randomly selected from an online group involved with ears. 1198 surveys were returned. Construct a 90% confidence interval for the proportion of returned surveys. A)Find the best point estimate of the population proportion p. B) identify the value of the margin of error E. C) construct the confidence interval.
3.Michael wants to make a confidence interval estimate for the proportion of community members in favor of a tax increase for more local school funding. If he wants the margin of error to be no more than 0.025 at a 90% confidence level, a)What is the required sample size required to obtain the desired margin of error
1.A New York Times/CBS poll asked the question, "What do you think is the most important problem facing this country today?" It found that twenty-four percent of the respondents answered "crime and violence." The margin of sampling error was plus or minus 2.7 percentage points. Following the convention that the margin of error was based on a 95% confidence interval, find the 95% confidence interval for the percentage of the population that would respond "crime and violence" to the question asked by the pollsters. (Express answers as decimal numbers to 3 places.) lower limit upper limit 2.A random sample of medical files is used to estimate the proportion p of all people who have blood type B. (a) If you have no preliminary estimate for p, how many medical files should you include in a random sample in order to be 98% sure that the point estimate p̂ will be within a distance of 0.030 from p?(b) Answer part (a) if you use the preliminary estimate that about 7 out of 90 people…

In a study of cell phone use and brain hemispheric dominance, an Internet survey was e-mailed to 2511 subjects randomly selected from an online group involved with ears. 1114 surveys were returned. Construct a 99% confidence interval for the proportion of returned surveys b) Identify the value of the margin of error E. c) Construct the confidence interval. d) Write a statement that correctly interprets the confidence interval. Choose the correct answer below.
In a two-proportion study, we have p1= 0.682 with a sample size of 49 and p2= 0.612 with a sample size of 54. What would be the standard error in computing a confidence interval for the difference of proportions?
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
The business college computing center wants to determine the proportion of business students who have personal computers (PC's) at home, because if the proportion exceeds 25%, then the lab will scale back a proposed enlargement of its facilities. Suppose 300 business students were randomly sampled and 65 have PC's at home. Should they use a hypothesis test or a confidence interval to answer this question? a) Hypothesis test. b) Confidence interval.
