A past survey of 1,068,000 students taking a standardized test revealed that 8.5% of the students were planning on studying engineering in college. In a recent survey of 1,476,000 students taking the SAT, 9.2% of the students were planning to study engineering. Construct a 90% confidence interval for the difference between proportions p, -p2 by using the following inequality. ASsume the samples are random and independent. P191 P292 (ô, - P)-

A researcher surveyed college students in the United States on the typical amount of time each day that they spend interacting with different types of media (television, social media, Internet-connected devices, game consoles, etc.) The researcher found that the mean amount of time that college students spent watching television each day is 135 minutes with a 95% confidence interval of (105, 165). a. State the conclusion the researcher can make from this confidence interval. b. What is the margin of error for the confidence interval?

5.A random sample of 362 married couples found that 286 had two or more personality preferences in common. In another random sample of 550 married couples, it was found that only 30 had no preferences in common. Let p1 be the population proportion of all married couples who have two or more personality preferences in common. Let p2 be the population proportion of all married couples who have no personality preferences in common. Find a 90% confidence interval for p1 – p2. (Use 3 decimal places.) lower limit upper limit
A statistics instructor randomly selected four bags of oranges, each bag labeled 10 pounds, and weighed the bags. They weighed 10.3, 10.8, 10.4, and 10.6 pounds. Assume that the distribution of weights is Normal. Find a 95% confidence interval for the mean weight of all bags of oranges. Use technology for your calculations. Answer parts a and b below. a. Choose the correct interpretation of the confidence interval below and, if necessary, fill in the answer boxes to complete your choice. A. We are 95% confident the population mean is between and B. There is a 95% chance that all intervals will be between and C. We are 95% confident that the sample mean is between and D. The requirements for constructing a confidence interval are not satisfied. (Type integers or decimals rounded to the nearest thousandth as needed. Use ascending order.)
In a survey of3313 adults aged 57 through 85 years, it was found that 88.6% of them used at least one prescription medication. a. How many of the 3313 subjects used at least one prescription medication? (Round to the nearest integer as needed.) b. Construct a 90% confidence interval estimate of the percentage of adults aged 57 through 85 years who use at least one prescription medication. (Round to one decimal place as needed.)

Refer to the data set of 20 randomly selected presidents given below. Treat the data as a sample and find the proportion of presidents who were taller than their opponents. Use that result to construct a 95% confidence interval estimate of the population percentage. Based on the result, does it appear that greater height is an advantage for presidential candidates? Why or why not? Construct a 95% confidence interval estimate of the percentage of presidents who were taller than their opponents. If greater height was an advantage, then taller candidates should have won (more than,less than,exactly) 50% of the elections. In this case, greater height (appears,does not appear) to be an advantage for presidential candidates because the confidence interval (does,does not) include 50%.
