A beverage company would like to determine if their drink is preferred to a rival company’s drink. They perform an experiment with 150 randomly selected individuals and have them taste test the two different drinks in a controlled environment so that each person's preference is independent of others. A 90% confidence interval for the proportion preferring their drink is (0.453, 0.587). Which of the following is the correct interpretation of this confidence interval? 90% of all consumers prefer this beverage company’s drink to their rival’s between 45.3% and 58.7% of the time. We’re 90% confident that between 45.3% and 58.7% of all consumers would prefer this beverage company’s drink to their rival’s drink. We’re 90% confident that there’s a 45.3% to 58.7% chance that a randomly selected person would prefer this beverage company’s drink to their rival’s drink. We’re 90% confident that the proportion of people in the sample who prefer this beverage company’s drink over their…
A computer store near campus is stocking its shelves and wants to know the relative proportions of students who use PCs vs Macs. A random sample of 60 students is surveyed, and each student is asked whether they use a PC or Mac more often. 55% select ”PC.” (a) What is the population and what is the sample in this study? (b) Calculate a 95% confidence interval for the proportion of UCI students that are PC users. (c) Provide an interpretation of this confidence interval in the context of this problem. (d) The confidence interval is pretty wide and leaves a lot of uncertainty over the proportion of UCIundergarduates who use PCs. With the goal to estimate a narrower 95% confidence interval, what is a simple change to this study that you could suggest for the next time that a similar survey is conducted?

A national polling organization conducted a survey asking people whether they would consider buying an electric car if petrol prices continue to rise. In the low-income sample of 200 people asked, 175 said they would not buy an electric car no matter how high petrol prices rise. In the high-income sample of 200 people asked, 127 responded the same. The 95% confidence interval for the difference in proportion of low income people and high income people who would never consider buying an electric car no matter how high the price of petrol got (rounded off to three decimals) is: A. [0.173 : 0.307] B. [0.145 : 0.335] C. [0.159 : 0.321] D. [0.172 : 0.308]
