Which statement about a confidence interval is true? O There is a 95% probability that the true proportion is this interval. O 95% of the time, the sample proportion and the true proportion will be the same. O The interval contains 95% of the true proportion. O 95% of intervals constructed this way will contain the true proportion. O There is a 95% chance that the sample proportion is in the interval.
2. A university health services physician is concerned about how much sleep freshman are getting. She asks a simple random sample of 50 students if they got at least 8 hours of sleep the previous night. Then she constructs a 95% confidence interval for the true proportion of all freshman college students who got at least 8 hours of sleep the previous night. (a) Explain what would happen to the length of the interval if the confidence level were decreased to 90%. (b) Explain what you would expect to happen to the length of the interval if the sample size was increased to 500 students. (c) After calculating the interval, the physician realizes that the sample was drawn only from the 70% of freshman who had turned in their health forms by the time they arrived on campus. This is an example of undercoverage. Can she adjust the confidence interval to take this undercoverage into account? If so, how? If not, why not?
4 For estimating one proportion, when would you typically choose the bootstrap confidence interval over a classical (mathematical) confidence interval? O You don't have the required ten successes and ten failures. O You don't have a random sample. O You don't have a sample of size 30.

45. Dr. Susan Benner is an industrial psychologist. She is currently studying stress among executives of Internet companies. She has developed a questionnaire that she believes measures stress. A score above 80 indicates stress at a dangerous level. A random sample of 15 executives revealed the following stress level scores. 94 78 83 90 78 99 97 90 97 90 93 94 100 75 84 Construct a 95% confidence level for the population mean. According to Dr. Benner's test, is it reasonable to conclude that the mean stress level of Internet executives is 80? Explain. a. b. C. d. X±Z p±z\ p(1-P) n x ±1 -3 n= Za e. None of these.

A 95% confidence interval for how much time on average GRC students spend doing homework every day is 75 to 105 minutes.Choose a correct interpretation of the statement above. A. If random sampling is repeated, 95% of the confidence intervals created will capture the true mean. B. If random sampling is repeated, 95% of the samples will have a mean that is between 75 and 105 minutes. C. 95% of GRC students study between 75 and 105 minutes on average every day. D. There is 95% chance that the true mean is between 75 and 105 minutes.
