### Analysis of Poll Results on Healthcare as the Most Important IssueA CBS News/New York Times poll surveyed 990 Americans to determine their views on the most important problem facing the U.S. health care system. Out of those surveyed, 30 respondents identified health care as the top issue. We can estimate the true proportion of Americans holding this view using a 96% confidence interval.#### Margin of Error- **E** = 0.0112#### Interval CalculationTo calculate the confidence interval, we adjust the observed proportion by the margin of error.- Calculated Interval: \[ 0.0303 - 0.0112 < p < 0.0303 + 0.0112 \] \[ 0.0191 < p < 0.0415 \]Expressed in percentage, the interval is:- **1.91% < p < 4.15%**This interval estimates that between 1.91% and 4.15% of Americans believe health care is the most important problem.#### Graph ExplanationA table is provided to support the calculations:- **Z Estimate of a Proportion**: - **Successes**: 30 - **Sample Size (N)**: 990 - **Standard Error (SE)**: 0.0054 - **Lower Limit**: 0.0191 - **Upper Limit**: 0.0415 - **Interval**: 0.0303 ± 0.0112The results are visually supported with a structured data table to ensure clarity in understanding the confidence interval calculations.

A CBS News/New York Times poll found the 30 out of 990 Americans said they think the most important problem facing the U.S. is health care. Estimate the true proportion with a 96% confidence of Americans who think that this is the most important problem.

When you hold the mouse pointer over a point on the graph, the specific value corresponding to that point appears (e.g., “California, 2013 - 19.4%”) as well as a line called “90% Confidence” followed by an range of values. Generally speaking, what does the range of values denoted by “90% Confidence” indicate?

Find and interpret a point estimate of the difference between the proportion of current smokers in 1995, and the proportion of current smokers in 2004. b. A 95% confidence interval for the true difference is (-0.058,-0.045). Interpret. c. What assumptions must you make for the confidence interval i part b to be valid? (…) a.

a researcher wishes to develop an interval estimate for response scores on user surveys. She's not sure about the standard deviation, but in previous years the scores have ranged from 25 to 86. How large a sample should she draw if she wants to construct a 95% confidence interval level that will be within 3 points of the population mean score?
