3. In a 2009 Gallup Poll, 441 of 507 adults said it was "morally wrong" to clone humans. Assume Gallup used a simple random sample. (a) Find a 95% confidence interval for the population proportion who believe it is morally wrong to clone humans. (b) Find an 80% confidence interval for the population proportion who believe it is morally wrong to clone humans. (c) Compare the margins of error for each confidence interval and explain mathemati- cally why they are different.

A genetic experiment with peas resulted in one sample of offspring that consisted of 427 green peas and 158 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?
A researcher surveyed college students in the United States on the typical amount of time each day that they spend interacting with different types of media (television, social media, Internet-connected devices, game consoles, etc.) The researcher found that the mean amount of time that college students spent watching television each day is 135 minutes with a 95% confidence interval of (105, 165). a. State the conclusion the researcher can make from this confidence interval. b. What is the margin of error for the confidence interval?

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.
