A large home improvement store is considering expanding its selection of moving products, such as cardboard boxes and packing tape. The store constructs a 90% confidence interval to estimate the proportion of all customers who have moved houses at least once in the last five years. In the random sample of 620 customers, 201 (32.4%) replied that they had moved at least once in the last five years. The sample yielded the 90% confidence interval (0.293, 0.355) for the proportion of all customers who have moved in the past five years. What is the correct interpretation of this confidence interval? O The store can be 90% confident that a proportion of 0.324 of all customers of this store have moved in the past five years. O There is a 909% probability that between 29.3% and 35.5% of.all customers five years. store have moved in the past O There is a 10% chance that less than 29.3% or more than 35.5% of all customers of this store have moved in the past five years. O The store can be 90% confident that the interval from 0.293 to 0.355 captures the proportion of all customers of this store who have moved in the past five years.

An environmental science teacher at a high school with a large population of students wanted to estimate the proportion of students at the school who regularly recycle plastic bottles. The teacher selected a random sample of students at the school to survey. Each selected student went into the teacher’s office, one at a time, and was asked to respond yes or no to the following question. Based on the responses, a 95 percent confidence interval for the proportion of all students at the school who would respond yes to the question was calculated as (0.584, 0.816 ). (b) Given the method used by the environmental science teacher to collect the responses, explain how bias might have been introduced and describe how the bias might affect the point estimate of the proportion of all students at the school who would respond yes to the question.
A study of 420,048 cell phone users found that 137 of them developed cancer of the brain or nervous system. Prior to this study of cell phone use, the rate of such cancer was found to be 0.0256% for those not using cell phones. Complete parts (a) and (b). a. Use the sample data to construct a 90% confidence interval estimate of the percentage of cell phone users who develop cancer of the brain or nervous system. enter your response here%<p<enter your response here% (Round to three decimal places as needed.) b. Do cell phone users appear to have a rate of cancer of the brain or nervous system that is different from the rate of such cancer among those not using cell phones? Why or why not? A. No, because 0.0256% is included in the confidence interval. B. Yes, because 0.0256% is included in the confidence interval. C. Yes, because 0.0256% is not included in the confidence interval. D. No, because 0.0256% is not…
A survey was conducted to determine what percentage of college seniors would have chosen to attend a differentcollege if they had known then what they know now. In a random sample of 100 seniors, 34 percent indicated thatthey would have attended a different college. A 90 percent confidence interval for the percentage of all seniors whowould have attended a different college is
Construct a 95% confidence interval for p1 - p2 for a survey that finds 30% of 240 males and 41% of 200 females are opposed to the death penalty. Group of answer choices a.(-0.200, -0.021) b.(-1.532, 1.342) c.(-1.324, 1.512) d.(-0.561, 0.651)
A retail store is considering adding a new product line to its inventory. The store wants to know whether the new product line will be popular with customers. To determine this, they take a random sample of customers and ask if they would be interested in buying the new product line. Of the 125 people they asked, 70 were interested in this new product line. The manager is interested in creating a 90 % confidence interval regarding the population parameter.
Males and females were asked what they would do if they received a $100 bill in the mail that was addressed to their neighbor, but had been incorrectly delivered to them. Of the 70 males sampled, 55 said yes they would return it to their neighbor. Of the 130 females sampled, 120 said yes. We want to construct a 90% confidence interval estimate for the difference between the true proportion of males who say they would return the money to their neighbor and the true proportion of females who say they would return the money to their neighbor. Choose the best option for the result of constructing that interval. O -226 < p1 -p2 < +.003 O-226 < p1 -p2 <.-.048 O -243 < p1 -p2 < -.031
The biologist is studying Black Carp invasiveness in Lake Ontario next. He doesn't have time to sample the fish himself, so instead he instead asks a fisherman who has been fishing off of one of Toronto's piers all morning about his catch. The fisherman responds that, of the 75 fish he has caught, 29 have been Black Carp. What is the lower bound of a 99% confidence interval for the true proportion of fish that are Black Carp in Lake Ontario ? O a. 0.1448 O b. The assumptions necessary to calculate the confidence interval are not satisfied and the calculation cannot be performed. O c. 0.3304 O d. 0.2419 e. 0.2556
The dean of students at a large college is interested in learning about their opinions regarding the percentage of first-year students who should be given parking privileges in the main lot. He sends out an email survey to all students about this issue. A large number of first-year students reply but very few sophomores, juniors, and seniors reply. Based on the responses he receives, he constructs a 90% confidence interval for the true proportion of students who believe first-year students should be given parking privileges in the main lot to be (0.71, 0.79). Which of the following may have an impact on the confidence interval, but is not accounted for by the margin of error? response bias O nonresponse bias O sampling variation O undercoverage bias
