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.

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
A student polls his school to see if students in the school district are for or against the new legislation regarding school uniforms. She surveys 600 students and finds that 480 are against the new legislation.

Thelma and Louise are each attempting to estimate the proportion of adults who enjoy listening to country music. They each survey a different random sample of adults, and in each sample, the proportion who say they enjoy listening to country music is 0.29. Thelma and Louise each use their sample data to construct a confidence interval. Thelma's interval is from 0.242 to 0.338 and Louise's interval is from 0.237 to 0.323. One of these intervals was computed correctly and the other was not. Which interval must be the correct one? It's impossible to answer this question without knowing the level of confidence used for each interval. It's impossible to answer this question without knowing the sample sizes. O It's impossible to answer this question without knowing the sample sizes or the level of confidence used for each interval. Thelma's interval must be the correct interval. O Louise's interval must be the correct interval.

In a survey, 545 college students are randomly selected and asked whether or not they own a car. Of those surveyed, it is found that 210 own a car. Use this data to find a 99% confidence interval for the true proportion of all college students who own a car.
You want to create a confidence interval for the difference in the percent of people over 40 who took music lessons as children and the percent of people 20-40 who took music lessons as children. You decide to use the Plus Four method. You ask 30 people over 40 and find that 21 of them took music lessons as children. You ask 25 people 20-40 and find that 13 took music lessons as children. Fill in the blanks for what you would put into your calculator's interval function. Have people over 40 be group 1. X1 = n1 = X2 = n2 =
