Gallup is a company that carries out daily opinion polls on a variety of topics. In a recent daily poll of 1,000 randomly selected US adults, 334 said they were engaged at work. Based on this sample, which of the following is a 90% confidence interval for the proportion of all US adults who would say they are engaged at work? Choose 1 answer: (0.296, 0.372) B (0.305, 0.363) (0.309, 0.359) D. (0.315, 0.353)

Refer to the following scenario. An epidemiologist is worried about the prevalence of the flu in East Vancouver and the potential shortage of vaccines for the area. She will need to provide a recommendation for how to allocate the vaccines appropriately across the city. She takes a simple random sample of 331 people living in East Vancouver and finds that 40 have recently had the flu. Suppose that the epidemiologist wants to re-estimate the population proportion and wishes for her 95% confidence interval to have a margin of error no larger than 0.03. How large a sample should she take to achieve this? Sample size =

A recent Gallup Poll interviewed a random sample of 1523 adults. Of these, 868 bought a lottery ticket in the past year. The same Gallup Poll asked its 1523 adult respondents and also 501 teens (ages 13 to 17) whether they generally approved of legal gambling: 63% of adults and 52% of teens said yes. The margin of error for a 95% confidence statement about teens would be a. greater than for adults, because the teen sample is smaller.b. less than for adults, because the teen sample is smaller.c. less than for adults, because there are fewer teens in the population.d. the same as for adults, because they both come from the same sample survey.e. Can't say, because it depends on what percent of each population was in the sample.
Political polls typically sample randomly from the U.S. population to investigate the percentage of voters who favor some candidate or issue. The number of people polled is usually on the order of 1000. Suppose that one such poll asks voters how they feel about the President’s handling of environmental issues. The results show that 575 out of the 1280 people polled say they either approve or strongly approve of the President’s handling. a. Find a 95% confidence interval for the proportion of the entire voter population who approve or strongly approve of the President’s handling. b. If the same sample proportion were found in a sample twice as large—that is 1150 out of 2560—how would this affect the confidence interval? How would the confidence interval change if the confidence level were 90% instead of 95%?

A survey asked, "How many tattoos do you currently have on your body?" Of the 1217 males surveyed, 179 responded that they had at least one tattoo. Of the 1075 females surveyed, 137 responded that they had at least one tattoo. Construct a 90% confidence interval to judge whether the proportion of males that have at least one tattoo differs significantly from the proportion of females that have at least one tattoo. Interpret the interval. ... Let p₁ represent the proportion of males with tattoos and p2 represent the proportion of females with tattoos. Find the 90% confidence interval for p₁-P2- The lower bound is The upper bound is (Round to three decimal places as needed.) Interpret the interval. OA. There is 90% confidence that the difference of the proportions is in the interval. Conclude that there is a significant difference in the proportion of males and females that have at least one tattoo. OB. There is a 90% probability that the difference of the proportions is in the interval.…
