A market analyst is curious what proportion of Los Angeles residents have a landline telephone. A survey of 200 randomly selected Los Angeles residents shows that 96 of those selected have a landline telephone. The analyst wants to use this data to construct a one-sample z interval for a proportion. Based on this sample, which of the following is a 90% confidence interval for the proportion of Los Angeles residents who have a landline telephone? Choose 1 answer: 0.48 +0.069 0.48 +0.058 96 0.069 96 + 0.058

2. According to the website Rotten Tomatoes, 94% of people who watched the Netflix show Stranger Things liked it. Since UR students tend to be scientifically minded, we hypothesize that less than 94% of UR students like the show. Out of 219 surveyed UR students, 198 indicated they like Stranger Things. Use the built in prop.test() function to: a. Construct a 90% confidence interval for the proportion of UR students who like Stranger Things. b. Test at the a=0.10 significance level whether the proportion of students who like Stranger Things is LESS THAN 0.94. What conclusion do you reach?
A sociologist is comparing the proportion of teenage boys who receive a text message at least once an hour to the percentage of teenage girls who do. She has collected data from 150 men and 150 women. Which of the following is not a condition that the sociologist should check before creating a confidence interval for the difference in population proportions?
A survey is taken of 250 students, and a P of 0.45 is found. The same survey is repeated with 1,000 students, and the same value is found. Compare the two 95% confidence intervals. What is the relationship? Is the margin of error for the second one four times smaller? How much smaller is it?
