The dean of students at a large college is interested in learning about their opinions regarding the percentage of first-year students who should be given parking privileges in the main lot. He sends out an email survey to all students about this issue. A large number of first-year students reply but very few sophomores, juniors, and seniors reply. Based on the responses he receives, he constructs a 90% confidence interval for the true proportion of students who believe first-year students should be given parking privileges in the main lot to be (0.71, 0.79). Which of the following may have an impact on the confidence interval, but is not accounted for by the margin of error? response bias O nonresponse bias O sampling variation O undercoverage bias

Ellie and Alec are each attempting to estimate the proportion of coffee drinkers who consume more than one cup of coffee per day. They each obtain a random sample of coffee drinkers, and, in each sample, the proportion who drink more than one cup of coffee per day is 0.40. Ellie and Alec each use their sample data to construct a confidence interval. Ellie’s interval is from 0.286 to 0.514, and Alec’s interval is from 0.346 to 0.474. One of these intervals was computed correctly, but the other was not. Which interval must be incorrect? A. Ellie’s interval must be incorrect. B. Alec’s interval must be incorrect. C. It’s impossible to answer this question without knowing the level of confidence used for each interval. D. It’s impossible to answer this question without knowing the sample sizes. E. It’s impossible to answer this question without knowing the sample sizes or the level of confidence used for each interval.
