A newsgroup is interested in constructing a 90% confidence interval for the difference in the proportions of Texans and New Yorkers who favor a new Green initiative. Of the 519 randomly selected Texans surveyed, 373 were in favor of the initiative and of the 559 randomly selected New Yorkers surveyed, 464 were in favor of the initiative. a. With 90% confidence the difference in the proportions of Texans and New Yorkers who favor a new Green initiative is between (round to 3 decimal places) and |(round to 3 decimal places). b. If many groups of 519 randomly selected Texans and 559 randomly selected New Yorkers were surveyed, then a different confidence interval would be produced from each group. About percent of these confidence intervals will contain the true population proportion of the difference in the proportions of Texans and New Yorkers who favor a new Green initiative and about percent will not contain the true population difference in

A research institute poll asked respondents if they felt vulnerable to identity theft. In the poll, n=935 and x=561 who said "yes." Use a 95% confidence level.
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.
A poll reported 59% support for a statewide election with a margin of error of 4.37 percentage points. How many voters should be sampled for a 99% confidence interval? Round up to the nearest whole number.
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 college administrator is interested in determining the proportion of students who receive some sort of financial aid. Instead of examining the records for all students, the administrator randomly draws 120 students and finds that 48 of them are receiving financial aid. Use a 90% confidence interval to estimate the true proportion of students who receive financial aid.
A political scientist claims that 38% of first-year college students characterize themselves as being “moderate” or “middle of the road” as far as their political affiliation is concerned. Believing this claimed value is too high, you survey a random sample of 400 first-year college students and find that 120 characterize themselves as being “moderate” or “middle of the road.” Based on this information, what will the test statistic be? Choose the answer below that is closest to what you calculate, and try not to do a lot of rounding until you get to the very end of your calculations. 1. -0.3 2. -1.2 3. -2.6 4. -3.3 5. None of the other answer options are correct because the test statistic should be positive, not negative.
Fear of the dark is quite common among children. However, what about adults? One polling agency released the results of a survey that asked people over 30 years old if they keep the lights on at night. Among 452 respondents, 34% indeed leave the light on when going to sleep. What does this margin of error tell you about the percentage of adults who keep the lights on at night? We can be 95% confident that somewhere between % and % of adults keep the lights on at night.
A political researcher takes a survey of 310 randomly selected registered voters in Orlando, and each person was asked who they plan on voting for in the 2024 presidential election. 110 said they plan on voting for Candidate A, 185 said they plan on voting for Candidate B, and 15 were unsure or plan to vote for another candidate. The researcher wants to construct a 95% confidence interval for the proportion of all registered voters in Orlando who plan to vote for Candidate B. What is the point estimate? Round final answer to 3 decimal places.
A random sample of 1,000 voters was drawn and asked on a bipartisan basis about their voting intentions ahead of the recent animal federal election. A total of 610 people said they would vote for the Cat Party. Calculate the 95% confidence interval for the proportion of voters who intend to vote for the Cat Party. Interpret confidence intervals based on this poll and comment on the chances of the Dog Party returning to power.
