A psychologist conducts an investigation with the aim of estimating the proportion of Canadians over 30 who are single. By taking a sample of 1,100 Canadians from over 30, she finds 260 who are single. a) Construct a confidence interval at the level of 95% confidence in estimating the proportion of Canadians over 30 who are single. b) What sample size should we reach if we wants to obtain a margin of error of 1% with a level of 95% confidence?

According to the website www.collegedrinkingprevention.gov, "About 25 percent of college students report academic consequences of their drinking including missing class, falling behind, doing poorly on exams or papers, and receiving lower grades overall." A statistics student is curious about drinking habits of students at his college. He wants to estimate the mean number of alcoholic drinks consumed each week by students at his college. He plans to use a 95% confidence interval. He surveys a random sample of 66 students. The sample mean is 3-75 alcoholic drinks per week. The sample standard deviation is 3.68 drinks. Construct the 95% confidence interval to estimate the average number of alcoholic drinks consumed each week by students at this college. Your answer should be rounded to 2 decimal places.

A Pew Research Center report on gamers and gaming estimated that 49% of U.S. adults play video games on a computer, TV, game console, or portable device such as a cell phone. This estimate was based on a random sample of 2001 U.S. adults! Construct and interpret a 95% confidence interval for the proportion of all U.S. adults who play video games. O We are 95% confident that the interval from 0.472 to 0.509 captures p = the proportion of adults in the Pew Research Center report who play video games. O We are 95% confident that the interval from 0.472 to 0.509 captures p = the true proportion of U.S. adults who play video games. We are 95% confident that the interval from 0.468 to 0.512 captures p = the true proportion of U.S. adults who play video games. O We are 95% confident that the interval from 0.468 to 0.512 captures p= the proportion of adults in the Pew Research Center report who play video games.
