A researcher is interested in finding a 90% confidence interval for the mean number of times per day that college students text. The study included 120 students who averaged 34.6 texts per day. The standard deviation was 13.2 texts. Round answers to 3 decimal places where possible. a. To compute the confidence interval use a ? distribution. b. With 90% confidence the population mean number of texts per day is between __ and __ texts. c. If many groups of 120 randomly selected members are studied, then a different confidence interval would be produced from each group. About ___ percent of these confidence intervals will contain the true population number of texts per day and about ___ percent will not contain the true population mean number of texts per day.

Translate the statement into a confidence interval. Approximate the level of confidence. In a survey of 1079 parents of children ages 8-14, 73% say they are willing to get a second or part-time job to pay for their children's college education and 43% say they lose sleep worrying about college costs. The survey's margin of error is +3%. Use the results from the survey about getting a second or part-time job. The confidence interval for the proportion is (0.7000.760) (Round to three decimal places as needed.) Use the results from the survey about getting a second or part-time job. The interval is a % confidence interval. (Round to one decimal place as needed.) Use the results from the survey about losing sleep. The confidence interval for the proportion is (Round to three decimal places as needed.) Use the results from the survey about losing sleep. The interval is a % confidence interval. (Round to one decimal place as needed.)
