For a class project, a political science student at a large university wants to estimate the percent of students who are registered voters. He surveys 500 students and finds that 300 are registered voters. Compute a 90% confidence interval for the true percent of students who are registered voters, and interpret the confidence interval. Round your answer to nearest thousandth if necessary. Interpret the result.

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.
Suppose that 67% of voters in a state oppose concealed carry handguns. Repeated random samples of 400 voters were collected. Use the Empirical Rule to find the interval in which the sample proportion of opponents should fall 95% of the time. Select one: A. (64.6%,69.4%)(64.6%,69.4%) B. (63.8%,70.2%)(63.8%,70.2%) C.

Out of 600 people sampled, 318 preferred Candidate A. Based on this, estimate what proportion of the voting population (p) prefers Candidate A. Use a 99% confidence level, and give your answers as decimals, to three places.
While her husband spent 2½ hours picking out new speakers, a statistician decided to determine whether the percent of men who enjoy shopping for electronic equipment is higher than the percent of women who enjoy shopping for electronic equipment. The population was Saturday afternoon shoppers. Out of 68 men, 24 said they enjoyed the activity. Eight of the 23 women surveyed claimed to enjoy the activity. Interpret the results of the survey. Conduct a hypothesis test at the 5% level. Let the subscript m= men and w= women. What is the test statistic? (If using the distribution round your answer to two decimal places, and if using the t distribution round your answer to three decimal places.) What is the p-value? (Round your answer to four decimal places.) Sketch a picture of this situation. Label and scale the horizontal axis and shade the region(s) corresponding to the p-value. i. ii. iii.
Out of 500 people sampled, 115 preferred Candidate A. Based on this, estimate what proportion of the entire voting population (p) prefers Candidate A. Use a 90% confidence level, and give your answers as decimals, to three places.
