A sociologist is studying the prevalence of crime in one major city. In a sample of 225 randomly selected residents, 58 say that they have been victimized by a criminal. 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. Carry your intermediate computations to at least three decimal places. Round your answers to two decimal places. (a) What is the lower limit of the 99% confidence interval? (b) What is the upper limit of the 99% confidence interval?

According to a poll, 86% of California adults (434 out of 506 surveyed) feel that education is one of the top issues facing California. We wish to construct a 90% confidence interval for the true proportion of California adults who feel that education is one of the top issues facing California. Find a 90% confidence interval for the population proportion. (Round your answers to three decimal places.) X * Enter a number.

A survey of 240 teachers found that two-thirds of those surveyed do not live in Sydney. Can you conclude statistically that the population proportion who do not live in Sydney is less than 0.75? Use a 95% confidence interval. What is the confidence interval and is 0.75 within the interval?
A college professor would like to estimate the proportion of students who pull an "all-nighter," meaning they study all night for an upcoming exam. She selects a random sample of 100 students from her large college and finds that the 99% confidence interval for the true proportion of students who pull an all-nighter is 0.48 to 0.62. Which of these statements is a correct interpretation of the confidence level? O Approximately 99% of all students have pulled an all-nighter. O There is a 99% probability that the true proportion of all students who pull an all-nighter is between 0.48 and 0.62. If many random samples of size 100 are selected from all students at this college, approximately 99% of the intervals would capture the true proportion who pull an all-nighter. C Approximately 99% of the sample proportions of students who pull an all-nighter, based on random samples of size 100 from the population of all students at this college, will fall between 0.48 and 0.62.
