A marketing consultant wants to estimate the proportion of all shoppers at a certain mall who make at least one purchase. He stands at a mall exit for two hours on a weekday afternoon and flips a coin each time a shopper leaves. If the coin comes up heads, he asks them if they have made any purchases during this visit. After two hours, he has 132 responses, 104 of whom made a purchase. Which condition for constructing a confidence interval for a proportion has the consultant failed to satisfy? O The data is a random sample from the population of interest. On> 30 O np 2 10 O n(1 - p) 2 10 than 10% of the population.

Elvin wants to know how the school views him as their leader. He asked his friend, Marcus, to research it. After a week, Marcus told him that a sample of 400 schoolmates selected at random indicated that 58% of them hold him in high regard. Determine the confidence interval at 99.5% confidence level.
According to a recent random survey of 3,728 US adults, 1,939 report using their cell phones to play online games. Construct and interpret a 95% confidence interval for the proportion of US adults who use their cell phones to play online games. State: confidence interval for the true proportion of US adults who use their cell phones to play online games. Plan: ; Random: Random survey; 10%: 3,728 is less than 10% of all US adults; Large Counts: 1,939 successes and 1,789 failures ≥ 10. Do: Conclude: We are 95% confident that the interval from includes the true proportion of all US adults to play online games.
Social Networking Sites In a survey of 2255 randomly selected US adults (age 18 or older), 1787 of them use the Internet regularly. Of the Internet users, 1054 use a social networking site.7 Find and interpret a 95% confidence interval for each of the following proportions: (a) Proportion of US adults who use the Internet regularly. (b) Proportion of US adult Internet users who use a social networking site. (c) Proportion of all US adults who use a social networking site. Use the confidence interval to estimate whether it is plausible that 50% of all US adults use a social networking site.

You are interested in constructing a 99% confidence interval for the proportion of all caterpillars that eventually become butterflies. Of the 418 randomly selected caterpillars observed, 59 lived to become butterflies. Round answers to 4 decimal places where possible. a. With 99% confidence the proportion of all caterpillars that lived to become a butterfly is between and . b. If many groups of 418 randomly selected caterpillars were observed, then a different confidence interval would be produced from each group. About percent of these confidence intervals will contain the true population proportion of caterpillars that become butterflies and about percent will not contain the true population proportion.
