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)…
A study of 420 comma 026 cell phone users found that 140 of them developed cancer of the brain or nervous system. Prior to this study of cell phone use, the rate of such cancer was found to be 0.0434 % for those not using cell phones. Complete parts (a) and (b). a. Use the sample data to construct a 90% confidence interval estimate of the percentage of cell phone users who develop cancer of the brain or nervous system. b. Do cell phone users appear to have a rate of cancer of the brain or nervous system that is different from the rate of such cancer among those not using cell phones? Why or why not?
A random sample of 1,000 voters was drawn and asked on a bipartisan basis about their voting intentions ahead of the recent animal federal election. A total of 610 people said they would vote for the Cat Party. Calculate the 95% confidence interval for the proportion of voters who intend to vote for the Cat Party. Interpret confidence intervals based on this poll and comment on the chances of the Dog Party returning to power.
A statistics content developer at Aplia wanted to know whether study skills are related to memory quality. She invited student volunteers to perform an online memory task. The students saw a list of 60 words and were then asked to recognize a list of 10 words that were on the original list. Students were also asked to provide their GPAs. Consider the following data set, which was collected from student volunteers in 2009. The table gives the frequency for five intervals of scores on the number of correctly identified words. Use the dropdown menus to complete the table by filling in the missing values for the proportions and percentages. Score Interval f Proportion Percentage 9–10 29 0.19 19% 7–8 53 5–6 50 3–4 22 0.14 14% 1–2 1 0.01 1%

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…
