A random sample of residents in city J were surveyed about whether they supported raising taxes to increase bus service for the city. From the results, a 95 percent confidence interval was constructed to estimate the proportion of people in the city who support the increase. The interval was (0.04, 0.09) . Based on the confidence interval, which of the following claims is supported?

National statistics show that 23% of men (sample 1) smoke and 18.5% of women (sample 2) do. A random sample of 149 men indicated that 64 were smokers , and of 119 women surveyed , 41 indicated that they smoked. Construct a 95% confidence interval for the true difference in proportions of male and female smokers. Select one: O a. -0.032
b. In the year 2000, a survey of 1171 U.S. adults were asked who they felt was the greatest President. Of those surveyed, 397 reported that Abraham Lincoln was the greatest President. Use this data to construct a 99% confidence interval for the population proportion of all U.S. adults who would say that Abraham Lincoln was the greatest president before the year 2000. Answer using decimals and round to four decimal places
According to a recent random survey of 3,728 US adults, 1,939 report using their cell phones to play online games. Construct and interpret a 95% confidence interval for the proportion of US adults who use their cell phones to play online games. State: confidence interval for the true proportion of US adults who use their cell phones to play online games. Plan: ; Random: Random survey; 10%: 3,728 is less than 10% of all US adults; Large Counts: 1,939 successes and 1,789 failures ≥ 10. Do: Conclude: We are 95% confident that the interval from includes the true proportion of all US adults to play online games.
A Gallup poll of 1487 adults showed that 43% of the respondents have Facebook pages. Construct a 95% confidence interval for the proportion of adults who have a Facebook page.
CNN is conducting a poll, and wants to produce a 90% confidence interval for the proportion of all New York residents who favor legalizing recreational marijuana. Of the 602 randomly selected New Yorkers surveyed, 394 were in favor of the initiative. a. With 90% confidence, the proportion of New York residents who favor legalizing recreational marijuana is between BLANK and BLANK. b. Suppose that we survey 602 randomly selected Americans many times, and calculate a confidence interval for each group. About Blank . percent of these confidence intervals will contain the true population proportion of New Yorkers who favor legalizing recreational marijuana, and about BLANK percent will not contain the true population proportion.
Construct a 95% confidence interval for p1 - p2 for a survey that finds 30% of 240 males and 41% of 200 females are opposed to the death penalty. Group of answer choices a.(-0.200, -0.021) b.(-1.532, 1.342) c.(-1.324, 1.512) d.(-0.561, 0.651)
A survey asked, "How many tattoos do you currently have on your body?" Of the 1205 males surveyed, 199 responded that they had at least one tattoo. Of the 1030 females surveyed, 127 responded that they had at least one tattoo. Construct a 99% confidence interval to judge whether the proportion of males that have at least one tattoo differs significantly from the proportion of females that have at least one tattoo. Interpret the interval. Let p1 represent the proportion of males with tattoos and p2 represent the proportion of females with tattoos. Find the 99% confidence interval for p1−p2. The lower bound is nothing. The upper bound is nothing. (Round to three decimal places as needed.)
A beverage company would like to determine if their drink is preferred to a rival company’s drink. They perform an experiment with 150 randomly selected individuals and have them taste test the two different drinks in a controlled environment so that each person's preference is independent of others. A 90% confidence interval for the proportion preferring their drink is (0.453, 0.587). Which of the following is the correct interpretation of this confidence interval? 90% of all consumers prefer this beverage company’s drink to their rival’s between 45.3% and 58.7% of the time. We’re 90% confident that between 45.3% and 58.7% of all consumers would prefer this beverage company’s drink to their rival’s drink. We’re 90% confident that there’s a 45.3% to 58.7% chance that a randomly selected person would prefer this beverage company’s drink to their rival’s drink. We’re 90% confident that the proportion of people in the sample who prefer this beverage company’s drink over their…
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]
Debbie and Ethan are going to construct confidence intervals from the same simple random sample.

Which confidence interval, if there is a difference will have a larger margin of error? B. Which confidence interval is more likely to cover the population mean, if there is a difference I am using a Ti84 and need to know how to get the answer.
