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

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.

A national polling organization conducted a survey asking people whether they would consider buying an electric car if petrol prices continue to rise. In the low-income sample of 200 people asked, 175 said they would not buy an electric car no matter how high petrol prices rise. In the high-income sample of 200 people asked, 127 responded the same. The 95% confidence interval for the difference in proportion of low income people and high income people who would never consider buying an electric car no matter how high the price of petrol got (rounded off to three decimals) is: A. [0.173 : 0.307] B. [0.145 : 0.335] C. [0.159 : 0.321] D. [0.172 : 0.308]
