A newsgroup is interested in constructing a 95% confidence interval for the proportion of all Americans who are in favor of a new Green initiative. Of the 582 randomly selected Americans surveyed, 362 were in favor of the initiative. Round answers to 4 decimal places where possible. a. With 95% confidence the proportion of all Americans who favor the new Green initiative is between and b. If many groups of 582 randomly selected Americans 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 Americans who favor the Green initiative and about percent will not contain the true population proportion.

You are interested in constructing a 90% confidence interval for the proportion of all caterpillars that eventually become butterflies. Of the 427 randomly selected caterpillars observed, 45 lived to become butterflies. a. Use 3 decimal places to complete the following statement: With 90% confidence the proportion of all caterpillars that lived to become a butterfly is between and . b. If many groups of 427 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.

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]
A random sample of 318 students from a large college were asked if they are planning to visit family during Thanksgiving break. Based on this random sample, a 99% confidence interval for the proportion of all students at this college who plan to visit family during Thanksgiving break is 0.78 to 0.98. Which of the following is the correct interpretation of the confidence interval? options: We are 95% confident that the interval from 0.78 to 0.98 captures the true proportion of all students at this college who plan to visit family during Thanksgiving break. We are 95% confident that the interval from 0.78 to 0.98 captures the true proportion of all students in this sample who plan to visit family during Thanksgiving break. We are 95% confident that the interval from 0.78 to 0.98 captures the true proportion of all students at this college who said they plan to visit family during Thanksgiving break. None of these is correct.
