American eat out very frequently; the average American adult buys a meal or snacks from a restaurant 5.8 time a week (The United State Healthful Food Council, December 5, 2015). Assume the standard deviation for the number of meals or snacks American adults buy from restaurants per week is 1.5. Suppose you would like to conduct a survey to develop a 95% confidence interval estimate of the number of meals or snacks American adults buy from restaurants per week. A margin of error of 0.5 is desired. Choose a sample size that would guarantee that the margin of error will not exceed 0.5? 25 35 20 10

In a sample of 500 Canadians, it was found that 400 people preferred apple products. In a sample of 700 Americans it was found that 600 preferred apple products. Is the proportion Canadians who prefer apple products less than Americans. 1. Construct 95% confidence interval for difference of proportions. 2. From the confidence interval, do you think that the proportion of Canadians who prefer apple products is different from Americans.
Several years ago, 44% of parents who had children in grades K-12 were satisfied with the quality of education the students receive. A recent poll asked 1,075 parents who have children in grades K-12 if they were satisfied with the quality of education the students receive. Of the 1,075 surveyed, 479 indicated that they were satisfied. Construct a 95% confidence interval to assess whether this represents evidence that parents' attitudes toward the quality of education have changed. What are the null and alternative hypotheses? Ho: p = 0.44 versus H,: p 0.44 (Round to two decimal places as needed.) Use technology to find the 95% confidence interval. The lower is The upper bound is (Round to two decimal places as needed.)

You measure 31 backpacks' weights, and find they have a mean weight of 79 ounces. Assume the population standard deviation is 3.8 ounces. Based on this, construct a 95% confidence interval for the true population mean backpack weight.
A learn-to-type software program claims that it can improve your typing skills. To test the claim and possibly help yourself out, you and six of your friends decide to try the program and see what happens. Use the table below to construct an 80% confidence interval for the true mean change in the typing speeds for people who have completed the typing program. Let Population 1 be the typing speed before taking the program and Population 2 be the typing speed after taking the program. Round the endpoints of the interval to one decimal place, if necessary.

A surprising fact indicates that a small proportion of teens use a password on their mobile device. A poll chooses a simple random sample of 120 teens and asks if they use a password on their mobile device. The results showed that 56 of teens in our sample used a password on their mobile device. Find a 90 % confidence interval for the proportion of teens who use a password on their mobile device. Interpret your confidence interval.
