A researcher wants to estimate the proportion of depressed individuals taking a new anti-depressant drug who find relief. A random sample of 225 individuals who had been taking the drug is questioned; 177 of them found relief from depression. Based upon this, compute a 95% confidence interval for the proportion of all depressed individuals taking the drug who find relief. Then find the lower limit and upper limit of the 95% confidence interval.Carry your intermediate computations to at least three decimal places. Round your answers to two decimal places. (If necessary, consult a list of formulas.)Lower limit: [input box] Upper limit: [input box] Buttons: - X (Close) - Rotate (Reset) - Question mark (Help)

A study investigated ways to prevent staph infections in surgery patients. The researchers examined a random sample of 100 patients admitted to various hospitals for surgery. They found that 53 of these patients tested positive for Staphylococcus aureus, a bacterium responsible for most staph infections. Construct a 80% confidence interval for the proportion of all patients admitted for surgery who are carriers of S. aureus. Round your answers to three decimal places, and use four decimal places for any interim calculations. We are 80% confident that the interval ( of all patients admitted for surgery who are carriers of S. aureus. contains the true population proportion p

A recent provincial report states that 90% of the population is aware that piercings as well as tattoos can transmit infectious disease. A survey was conducted in the province and random subjects were asked if they knew that piercings as well as tattoos could transmit an infectious disease. Following this, 1450 people responded with "yes" and 48 responded with "no". Find the 95% confidence interval estimate of the proportion of those who know that piercings as well as tattoos can transmit an infectious disease.
Stanford University conducted a study of whether running is healthy for men and women over age 50.
