Construct a 95% confidence interval for p1 - p2 for a survey that finds 30% of 240 males and 41% of 200 females are opposed to the death penalty. Group of answer choices a.(-0.200, -0.021) b.(-1.532, 1.342) c.(-1.324, 1.512) d.(-0.561, 0.651)
In a survey of 40 students in an introductory statistics class, a professor asks how many states in the United States each student has visited. Using the data from the professor's sample, a 99% confidence interval for the average number of states all students at the professor's school have visited is found to be (6.78, 12.18). Determine whether each of the following statements is valid or invalid. You may assume that the sample is representative of all students at the professor's school. (a) We are 99% confident that the average number of states visited by the 40 students the professor surveyed is between 6.78 and 12.18. Valid Invalid (b) Based on the 99% confidence interval, there is evidence that the average number of states visited by all students at the professor's school is different from 16. Valid Invalid (c) We are 99% confident that the average number of states visited by all students at the professor's school is between 6.78 and 12.18. Valid Invalid (d)…
Ten engineering schools in a country were surveyed. The sample contained 225electrical engineers, 80 being women; 175 chemical engineers, 40 being women. Compute a 90% confidence interval for the difference between the proportions of women in these two fields of engineering. Is there a significant difference between the two proportions? Let p1 be the population proportion of electrical engineers that are women in the schools that were surveyed and let p2 be the population proportion of chemical engineers that are women in the schools that were surveyed. The 90% confidence interval is nothing<p1−p2<nothing. (Round to three decimal places as needed.)

A political researcher takes a survey of 310 randomly selected registered voters in Orlando, and each person was asked who they plan on voting for in the 2024 presidential election. 110 said they plan on voting for Candidate A, 185 said they plan on voting for Candidate B, and 15 were unsure or plan to vote for another candidate. The researcher wants to construct a 95% confidence interval for the proportion of all registered voters in Orlando who plan to vote for Candidate B. What is the point estimate? Round final answer to 3 decimal places.
A statistics professor at a major university asked her students whether or not they wereregistered to vote. In a sample of 50 of the randomly sampled statistics students (from over1000 students), 35 said they were registered to vote.

In a past presidential election, 36,523,493 people voted for Candidate A; 36,417,321 for Candidate B; and 163,753 for third-party candidates. a. What percentage of voters chose Candidate A? b. Would it be appropriate to find a confidence interval of voters choosing Candidate A? Why or why not? ... a. Find the percentage of voters who chose Candidate A. % (Round to one decimal place as needed.) b. Is it appropriate to find a confidence interval for the proportion of voters who chose Candidate A? O A. No, it is not appropriate to find a confidence interval because the conditions for the Central Limit Theorem are met. B. No, it is not appropriate to find a confidence interval because the proportion is a population proportion. C. No, it is not appropriate to find a confidence interval because there are three possible outcomes for each observation. D. Yes, it is appropriate to find a confidence interval because the proportion is a sample proportion and the conditions for the Central Limit…
After a college's football team once again lost a football game to the college's arch rival, the alumni association conducted a survey to see if alumni were in favor of firing the coach. An SRS of 100 alumni from the population of all living alumni was selected. Sixty-four of the alumni in the sample were in favor of firing the coach. Let p the true proportion of all living alumni who favor firing the coach.

The dataset "nurses" is a random sample of 1,000 cases from “Health Care Provider Credential Data” from Washington State Open Data Portal. In the sample, there are 418 CNA's and 278 of the CNA's have expired credentials. Use the statistics from the nurses dataset to answer the following question: "With 90% confidence, what percent of all CNA's on Washington State's healthcare provider list are expired?"
