1. The Marist Poll published a report stating that 66% of adults nationally think licensed drivers should be required to retake their road test once they reach 65 years of age, based off a survey of 1,018 American adults. (a) Compute a 95% confidence interval for the proportion of adults nationally who think licencee drivers should be required to retake their road test once they reach 65 years of age. (b) Based on this interval, is there convincing evidence that more than 70% of population have this belief?

The table shows the results of a survey in which separate samples of 400 adults each from the East, South, Midwest, and West were asked if traffic congestion is a serious problem in their community. Complete parts (a) and (b). Bad Traffic Congestion? Adults who say that traffio congestion is a serlous problem East 34% South 32% Midwest West 26% 57% ..... (a) Construct a 95% confidence interval for the proportion of adults from the Midwest who say traffic congestion is a serious problem. The 95% confidence interval for the proportion of adults from the Midwest who say traffic congestion is a serious problem is ( . ). (Round to three decimal places as needed.)
1. In a study of perception, 110 men are tested and 24 are found to have red/green color blindness (based on data from USA Today). Assume that this was done in a simple random manner. A 95% confidence interval estimate of the proportion of all men with red/green color blindness was found to be 0.14 to 0.30. If we learn that the actual population proportion of men with red/green colorblindness is equal to 0.12, then what can we conclude? A. The confidence interval was wrong. B. We would need to see the sample data to make any conclusions Pick either answer A or B as your answer and show your work to go with it
A survey asked senior executives at large corporations their opinions about the economic outlook for the future. One question was, "Do you think that there will be an increase in the number of full-time employees at your company over the next 12 months?" In the current survey, 220 of 400 executives answered Yes, while in a previous year survey, 176 of 400 executives had answered Yes. Provide a 95% confidence interval estimate for the difference between the proportions at the two points in time. (Use current year − previous year. Round your answer to four decimal places.) to

Question 2 - (Please answer both a and b) A recent survey showed that from a sample of 500 packages delivered by a Postal Service, 480 were delivered on time. a) Construct a 95% confidence interval for the proportion of all packages that are delivered on time by the Postal Service. b) The manager of the Postal Services claims that 98 percent of their mail are delivered on time. Test at the 1% significance level to determine whether the true proportion is less than 98 percent.
Credit card ownership varies across age groups. Suppose that the estimated percentage of people who own at least one credit card is 64% in the 18–24 age group, 84% in the 25–34 age group, 75% in the 35–49 age group, and 77% in the 50+ age group. Suppose these estimates are based on 465 randomly selected people from each age group. (a) Construct a 95% confidence interval for the proportion of people in the 18–24 age group who own at least one credit card.

A genetic experiment with peas resulted in one sample of offspring that consisted of 447 green peas and 169 yellow peas. a. Construct a 95% confidence interval to estimate of the percentage of yellow peas. b. Based on the confidence interval, do the results of the experiment appear to contradict the expectation that 25% of the offspring peas would be yellow?
In a study designed to determine whether there was a cluster of brain cancer cases at a Pratt & Whitney plant, record from 223,000 employees were studied and 723 employees with brain tumors were found. Treat those employees as a random sample and construct a 95% confidence interval estimate of the proportion of all adults who develop such tumors. write a brief statement interpreting that confidence interval.
3. The Pew Research Center has conducted extensive research on the young adult population (Pew Research website, November 6, 2012). One finding was that 93% of adults aged 18 to 29 use the Internet. Another finding was that 21% of those aged 18 to 28 are married. Assume the sample size associated with both findings is 500. a) Develop a 95% confidence interval for the proportion of adults aged 18 to 29 who use the Internet. b) Develop a 99% confidence interval for the proportion of adults aged 18 to 28 who are married. c) In which case, part (a) or part (b), is the margin of error larger? Explain why.
5.) A genetic experiment with peas resulted in one sample of offspring that consisted of 410 green peas and 151 yellow peas. a. Construct a 90% 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 is not 25%, do the results contradict expectations?
