Call me: A sociologist wants to construct a 99% confidence interval for the proportion of children aged 8 - 10 living in New York who own a smartphone.(a) A survey by the National Consumers League estimated the nationwide proportion to be 0.40 . Using this estimate, what sample size is needed so that the confidence interval will have a margin of error of 0.02 ?

The New York Times conducted a nationwide poll of 1048 randomly selected 13- to 17-year-olds. to estimate the proportion of 13- to 17-year-olds who have a television in their room. We can consider the sample to be a simple random sample. Of these 1048 teenagers, 692 had a television in their room. Give a 95% confidence interval for the proportion of all people in this age group who had a TV in their room at the time of the poll, and interpret what your interval means in context.

Tourism is extremely important to the economy of Florida. Hotel occupancy is an often-reported measure of visitor volume and visitor activity (Orlando Sentinel, May 19, 2018). Hotel occupancy data for February in two consecutive years are as follows, current year previous year occupied rooms 1470 1458 total rooms 1750 1800 a)What is the 95% confidence interval estimate of the change in occupancy for the one-year period? b)Do you think officials will be pleased with the results? c) Using a 0.05 level of significance, test the hypothesis that there has been an increase in the proportion of rooms occupied over the one-year period.
You want to estimate the average difference in the number of complaints filed by women at work and the number of complaints filed by men at work. You took an SRS of 7 businesses and collected the following data for number of complaints in a year: men 1 3 2 4 6 3 5 women 8 7 6 3 5 12 15 Create a 90% confidence interval for the average difference in the number of complaints filed by women at work and the number of complaints filed by men at work (in a year). You must do this using table C. If this is a 2 sample interval, be sure to specify who is population 1 and who is population 2. If this is a matched pairs interval, be sure to state the order you subtracted your data. Once you create your interval, give a sentence explaining the meaning of the interval (what the numbers in the interval mean, NOT the meaning of 95%) in context of this problem. Round to any appropriate number of decimals.
10. Several years ago, 51% 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, 472 indicated that they were satisfied. Construct a 99% 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 (1) versus H1: p (2) (Round to two decimal places as needed.) Use technology to find the 99% confidence interval. The lower bound is The upper bound is (Round to two decimal places as needed.) What is the correct conclusion? O A. Since the interval contains the proportion stated in the null hypothesis, there is insufficient evidence that parents' att O B. Since the interval contains the proportion stated in the null hypothesis, there is sufficient…

Obesity is defined as a body mass index (BMI) of 30 kg/m2 or more. A 95% confidence interval for the percentage of U.S. adults aged 20 years and over who were obese was found to be 20.26% to 29.8%. What was the sample size?
A newspaper infographic titled "Social Media Jeopardizing Your Job?" summarized data from a survey of 1,850 recruiters and human resource professionals. The infographic indicated that 52% of the people surveyed had reconsidered a job candidate based on his or her social media profile. Assume that the sample is representative of the population of recruiters and human resource professionals in the United States. Would a 90% confidence interval be wider or narrower than the 95% confidence interval from part (a)? widernarrower
A survey collected data on attitudes toward the quality of customer service in retail stores. The survey found that 270 of the 750 American adults sampled felt that customer service is better today than it was two years ago. We wish to develop a 94% confidence interval for the proportion of American adults who feel customer service is better today than it was two years ago. What is the population? A) the 750 American adults sampled B) customer service representatives C) all American adults
In the Star and Tribune newspaper, there is an article entitled "1 in 8 school buses fail tests." The article says that the overall statewide proportion of school buses that fail safety tests is 9%. However, one bus company has a higher rate of over 12%. Assume that we want a new estimate for the statewide proportion of school buses that fail the safety inspection. How large a sample would you have to take in order to construct a 95% confidence interval estimate for the true proportion of buses that fail the inspection and achieve a margin of error of plus or minus 2%? (your answer should be an integer)
