A company manufacturing CDs is working on a new technology. A random sample of 700 Internet users were asked: "As you may know, some CDs are being manufactured so that you can only make one copy of the CD after you purchase it. Would you buy a Co with this technology, or would you refuse to buy it even if it was one you would normally buy?" Of these users, 69% responded that they would buy the CD. a) Create a 95% confidence interval for this percentage. b) If the company wants to cut the margin of error in half, how many users must they survey? a) The 95% confidence interval is (66 % 72%). (Round to one decimal place as needed.)

Exercise 6.16 presents the results of a poll where 48% of 345 Americans who decide to not go to college do so because they cannot afford it.(a) Calculate a 90% confidence interval for the proportion of Americans who decide to not go to college because they cannot afford it, and interpret the interval in context. (b) Suppose we wanted the margin of error for the 90% confidence level to be about 1.5%. How large of a survey would you recommend?
A box model is used to calculate a confidence interval in the following scenario: One thousand high school students in a large city are randomly selected for a survey. Among these students, the average reported GPA is 3.0, and the SD is 1.22. For each of the following quantities in the box model, select the answer if the quantity is estimated, not known. Leave the quantities that are known unselected. a. the SD of GPA of high school students in the sample b. the average GPA of high school students in the sample c. the average GPA of all high school students in the city d. the SD of the tickets in the box
In a study of the nicotine patch, 21% of those who used the patch for 2 months reported no smoking incidents in the following year. The 95% confidence interval is (17.4%, 24.8%). Which of the following is an appropriate interpretation of the 95% confidence interval? There is a 95% probability that the proportion of all nicotine patch users who would report no smoking incidents in the following year is between 17.4% and 24.8%. We can be 95% confident that the proportion of the sample who would report no smoking incidents in the following year is between 17.4% and 24.8%. 95% of samples will have between 17.4% and 24.8% who would report no smoking incidents in the following year. We can be 95% confident that the proportion of all nicotine patch users who would report no smoking incidents in the following year is between 17.4% and 24.8%.
Suppose taxi fares from Logan Airport to downtown Boston is known to be normally distributed and a sample of seven taxi fares produces a mean fare of $22.31 and a 95% confidence interval of [$20.5051, $24.2091]. Which of the following statements is a valid explanation of the confidence interval. A) 95% of all taxi fares are between $20.51 and $24.21. B) We are 95% confident that a randomly selected taxi fare will be between $20.51 and $24.21. C) The mean amount of a taxi fare is $22.31, 95% of the time. D) We are 95% confident that the average taxi fare between Logan Airport and downtown Boston will fall between $20.51 and $24.21.
In September 2011, Gallup surveyed 1,004 American adults and asked them whether they blamed Barack Obama a great deal, a moderate amount, not much, or not at all for U.S. economic problems. The results showed that 53% of respondents blamed Barack Obama a great deal or a moderate amount. Calculate the 99% confidence interval for the proportion of all American adults who blame Barack Obama a great deal or a moderate amount for U.S. economic problems. O (0.504, 0.556) O (0.499, 0.561) O (0.489, 0.571) O The confidence interval cannot be determined from the information given.

A telephone service representative believes that the proportion of customers completely satisfied with their local telephone service is different between the South and the Northeast. The representative's belief is based on the results of a survey. The survey included a random sample of 700700 southern residents and 580580 northeastern residents. 49%49% of the southern residents and 42%42% of the northeastern residents reported that they were completely satisfied with their local telephone service. Find the 80%80% confidence interval for the difference in two proportions. Step 2 of 3: Find the value of the standard error. Round your answer to three decimal places.
A professor sampled 46 students from a large university to obtain a 95% confidence interval for the proportion of students in favor of raising ASB fees. The interval was (0.356, 0.397). If the professor had used a 90% confidence interval instead, the confidence interval would have been ... A) Wider and would have a smaller chance of missing the true proportion.

1) A coffee shop claims that it takes 115 seconds, on average, to serve their customers coffee through their drive-thru. Lucy, a statistics student, decides to test this claim. She randomly selects 15 orders and records the wait time it took for the customer to receive their coffee. Here are the times (in seconds). 85 122 135 100 153 153 116 99 65 130 175 113 188 142 134 a) Lucy wants to make a confidence interval to estimate the true mean wait time. Explain thoroughly why Lucy has or has not satisfied the “normal” condition for constructing a confidence interval. interval b) The 95% confidence interval that Lucy constructs is 109.1 to 145.6 seconds. Does the interval provide convincing evidence that the coffee shop is lying about their claim?
