A sociologist is studying the prevalence of crime in one major city. In a sample of 200 randomly selected residents, 58 say that they have been victimized by acriminal. Based on this sample, construct a 99% confidence interval for the proportion of all residents in this city who have been victimized by a criminal. Thenfind the lower limit and upper limit of the 99% 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:Upper limit:X3

In a survey of 2269 adults, 701 say they believe in UFOs. Construct a 95% confidence interval for the population proportion of adults who believe in UFOs. A 95% confidence interval for the population proportion is (nothing,nothing). (Round to three decimal places as needed.) Interpret your results. Choose the correct answer below. A. With 95% confidence, it can be said that the population proportion of adults who believe in UFOs is between the endpoints of the given confidence interval. B. The endpoints of the given confidence interval shows that 95% of adults believe in UFOs. C. With 95% confidence, it can be said that the sample proportion of adults who believe in UFOs is between the endpoints of the given confidence interval. D. With 95% probability, the population proportion of adults who do not believe in UFOs is between the endpoints of the given confidence interval.

Thelma and Louise are each attempting to estimate the proportion of adults who enjoy listening to country music. They each survey a different random sample of adults, and in each sample, the proportion who say they enjoy listening to country music is 0.29. Thelma and Louise each use their sample data to construct a confidence interval. Thelma's interval is from 0.242 to 0.338 and Louise's interval is from 0.237 to 0.323. One of these intervals was computed correctly and the other was not. Which interval must be the correct one? It's impossible to answer this question without knowing the level of confidence used for each interval. It's impossible to answer this question without knowing the sample sizes. O It's impossible to answer this question without knowing the sample sizes or the level of confidence used for each interval. Thelma's interval must be the correct interval. O Louise's interval must be the correct interval.
