A TV news reporter says that a proposed constitutional amendment is likely to win approval in the upcoming election because a poll of 541 likely voters indicated that 53% would vote in favor. The reporter goes on to say that the margin of error for this poll was 5%. Complete parts a and b below. a) Explain why the poll is actually inconclusive. Choose the correct answer below. O A. The poll is inconclusive because the standard error of the sample proportion is less than 0.50. O B. The poll is inconclusive because the margin of error is too large. OC. The poll is inconclusive because the sample size is too small. O D. The poll is inconclusive because 50% is included in the confidence interval. b) What confidence level did the pollsters use? The pollsters used a % confidence level.

You are the operations manager for an airline and you are considering a higher fare level for passengers in aisle seats. How many randomly selected air passengers must you survey? Assume that you want to be 90% confident that the sample percentage is within 5.5 percentage points of the true population percentage. Complete parts (a) and (b) below. a. Assume that nothing is known about the percentage of passengers who prefer aisle seats. (Round up to the nearest integer.) b. Assume that a prior survey suggests that about 38% of air passengers prefer an aisle seat. (Round up to the nearest integer.)

a programmer plans to develop a new software system. In planning for the operating system that he will use, he needs to estimate the percentage of computers that use a new operating system. How many computers must be surveyed in order to be 99% confident that his estimate is in error by no more than three percentage points? Complete parts (a) through (c) below. a) Assume that nothing is known about the percentage of computers with new operating systems. n = b) Assume that a recent survey suggests that about 98% of computers use a new operating system.n = c) Does the additional survey information from part (b) have much of an effect on the sample size that is required?
