A random sample of 225 individuals finds 31% of them would be willing to purchase a week at a vacation resort. What is the 90% confidence interval for the population proportion of those that would be willing to purchase a week at the resort? [0.2562, 0.3638] [0.2502, 0.3698] [0.2548, 0.3652] [0.2593 , 0.3607]

5.3.10. In 1927, the year he hit sixty home runs, Babe Ruth batted .356, having collected 192 hits in 540 official at-bats (150). Based on his performance that season, construct a 95% confidence interval for Ruth's probability of getting a hit in a future at-bat.
Suppose the number of square feet per house is normally distributed. For a random sample of houses, the confidence interval (1963.25, 2016.75) is generated. What is the margin of error? Give just a number for your answer. For example, if you found that the margin of error was 2, you would enter 2.
A 90% confidence interval for p is given as (0.26,0.54). How large was the sample used to construct this interval? (Round up to the nearest observation.)
Likely voters were surveyed to determine if they would vote for their party's candidate. The voters were divided into 2 groups Republicans (group 1) and Democrats (group 2). A 95% confidence interval for pl-p2 was found to be as follows: (-015, .035) Interpret the endpoints of this interval in the context of this problem. Do not use the word "difference" in your answer.
In 2001, the polls found that 81% of American adults believed that there was a conspiracy in the death of President Kennedy. Assume a recent poll asked 1780 American adults if they believe there was a conspiracy in the assassination and it found that 1484 believe there was a conspiracy. Calculate a 97% confidence interval for the percentage of all Americans who believe in this conspiracy.
Find the 95% confidence interval for the percentage of leaky diapers in Example 4.4.4 assuming 400 diapers were tested and 20% were leaky. Note that it is 8 percentage points long.
There are a thousand men in a cohort for which prostate cancer prevalence is 2.2%.The test we're using for prostate cancer has a sensitivity of 0.6 (gets the diagnosis right 60% of the time if a patient has prostate cancer) specificity of 0.95 (gets the diagnosis right 95% of the time if a patient does not have prostate cancer) Fill in the tree with the correct number of patients in each cell, and give the probability that a man actually has prostate cancer, given a positive test result.Probability =
Now you are interested in the percent of dogs that were neutered in your sample. For 40 dogs, 30 of them were neutered. What is the LOWER limit for this confidence interval? The statistical value you will need is 1.96. Give your answer as 0.XX
С. Consider another brand C of car tyres. From a random sample of 36 car tyres, it has been found that 26 of these car tyres last longer than 40,000 km. Find a 95% confidence interval corresponding to the sample proportion of brand C car tyres which last longer than 40,000 km. Give values correct to three decimal places.
In 1973, only 8% of the students in the city school district were classified as being learning disabled. A school psychologist suspects that the proportion of learning-disabled children has increased dramatically over the years. To demonstrate this point, a random sample of n = 13 students is selected. In this sample there are 3 students who have been identified as learning-disabled. You will use this information to determine if the sample indicates a change in the proportion of learning-disabled students at a 0.02 level of significance. Part 1: What is the hypothesized (assumed constant) population proportion for this test? p = (Report answer as a decimal accurate to 2 decimal places. Do not report using the percent symbol.) Based on the researcher's understanding of the situation, how many tails would this hypothesis test have? O one-tailed test two-tailed test
In a random sample of 1022 Canadian adults, 480 think that the Canadian government is doing too little to protect the environment. In another random sample of 1008 Canadian adults taken 10 years ago, 514 think that the Canadian government is doing too little to protect the environment. At a=0.10, can you reject the claim that the proportion of US adults who think that the Canadian government is doing too little to protect the environment hasn't changed?
