According to a recent study only 34% of adults in the United States could name all three branches of government. This was based on a survey given to a random sample of 1750 adults. Calculate a 95% confidence interval (z score=1.96) for the proportion of all U.S. adults who could name all three branches of government.

2) A random sample of 120 students at a high school was asked whether they would ask their father or mother for help with a homework assignment in science. A second random sample of 150 different students was asked the same question for an assignment in history. Fifty-four students in the first sample and 72 students in the second sample replied that they turned to their mother rather than their father for help. Construct a 99% confidence interval for the difference of the two proportions and express it as . (Round both numbers to the 4th decimal plac
A Businessweek/Harris poll asked senior executives at large corporations their opinions about the economic outlook for the future. One question was, "Do you think that there will be an increase in the number of full-time employees at your company over the next 12 months?" In the current survey, 230 of 500 executives answered Yes, while in a previous year survey, 197 of 500 executives had answered Yes. Provide a 95% confidence interval estimate for the difference between the proportions at the two points in time (to 4 decimals). Do not round your intermediate calculations. to What is your interpretation of the interval estimate? Approximately 7% more executives are predicting an increase in full-time jobs. The confidence interval shows the difference may be from 0% to 13% Hide Feedback Partially Correct
A genetic experiment with peas resulted in one sample of offspring that consisted of 427 green peas and 158 yellow peas. a. Construct a 90% confidence interval to estimate of the percentage of yellow peas. b. It was expected that 25% of the offspring peas would be yellow. Given that the percentage of offspring yellow peas is not 25%, do the results contradict expectations?
Suppose that in a recent poll, 550 of the 915 randomly selected U.S. adults agreed with the statement “social media sites like Facebook and Twitter do more to divide the country” (as opposed to unite the country, or neither). a. Use this information to construct a 90% confidence interval.
Insurance companies are interested in knowing the population percent of drivers who always buckle up before riding in a car. They randomly survey 389 drivers and find that 295 claim to always buckle up. Construct a 90% confidence interval for the population proportion that claim to always buckle up.
According to some car loan statistics, 44% of Americans are relying on an auto loan to pay for their cars. Assuming this finding to be based on a simple random sample of 1500 Americans, construct and interpret the 95% confidence interval for the population proportion of Americans who have a car loan.

Credit card ownership varies across age groups. Suppose that the estimated percentage of people who own at least one credit card is 64% in the 18–24 age group, 84% in the 25–34 age group, 75% in the 35–49 age group, and 77% in the 50+ age group.
