A nationwide poll of 2,525 adults estimated with 95% confidence that the proportion of Americans who support health care reform is 0.78 +/- 0.0162. A member of Congress thinks that 95% confidence isn't enough. He wants to be 99% confident. How would the margin of error of a 99% confidence interval based on the same sample size compare with the 95% interval? O It would be larger, because higher confidence results in a larger margin of error. O It would be the same, because the sample size is the same. O Can't tell, because margin of error depends on the size of the population. O Can't tell, because margin of error varies from sample to sample. O It would be smaller, because higher confidence results in a lower margin of error.
If the number of smokers in a sample of 40 students selected from university A is 14 and the number of smokers in a sample of 380 students selected from university B is 84. Then the 99% confidence interval for the difference between proportions of smokers in the two universities (PB- PA) is closest to O a. (-0.1450,-0.1130) O b. (-0.3310,0.0729) O c. None of these o d. (-0.3110,0.0534) e. (-0.1430,-0.1150)
You recently sent out a survey to determine if the percentage of adults who use social media has changed from 56%, which was the percentage of adults who used social media five years ago. Of the 2335 people who responded to survey, 1725 stated that they currently use social media.a) Use the data from this survey to construct a 93% confidence interval estimate of the proportion of adults who use social media. Record the result below in the form of (#,#)(#,#). Round your final answer to four decimal places.

A poll of 1070 U.S. adults found that 563 U.S. adults, or 52.617% regularly used Facebook as a news source. Find the margin of error and confidence interval for the percentage of U.S. adults who regularly use Facebook as a news source, at the 90% level of confidence. Express all answers as percentages rounded to 2 decimal places. Do not write the percent sign.

What confidence coefficient was used to generate the confidence intervals?
A random sample of high school seniors were asked whether they were applying for college. The resulting confidence interval for the proportion of students applying for college is (0.65,0.69). What is the margin of error?
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 =
