In 2009, a consulting firm surveyed a random sample of 700 U.S. businesses and found that 28% of them were owned by women. Create a 90% confidence interval for the true proportion of U.S. businesses that are owned by women. Due to the different methods, round your interval values to 2 decimal places. O (0.24, 0.32) O (0.27,0.29) O (0.26, 0.32) O (0.25,0.31)

A sample of freshman takes a reading comprehension test and their scores are summarized below. Sample scores: 16, 8, 8, 6, 9, 11, 13, 9, 10 a. if the mean for the general population on this test is m=12, can you conclude that this sample is significantly different from the population. Test with a=.05 b. Calculate a 90% confidence interval around your mean.
Let's say you survey a random sample of people. You find that 53% prefer apples over oranges. You make a 90% confidence interval for the proportion of people who prefer apples. The resulting confidence interval is: 0.448 to 0.612 Based on this interval, assess the following statement: We are 90% confident that the proportion of people who prefer apples over oranges is between 0.448 and 0.612 is it : True or False
You do a study of hypnotherapy to determine how effective it is in increasing the number of hours of sleep subjects get each night. You measure hours of sleep for 12 subjects with the following results. Construct a 90% confidence interval for the mean number of hours slept for the population (assumed normal) from which you took the data. (Give your answer rounded to the nearest 4 decimal places if necessary.) {7.8, 8.9, 9.5, 11.2, 11.5, 8.3, 11.8, 8.4, 8, 8.4, 10.1, 10.3} (?,? )
You are interested in constructing a 95% confidence interval for the proportion of all caterpillars that eventually become butterflies. Of the 405 randomly selected caterpillars observed, 54 lived to become butterflies. Round answers to 4 decimal places where possible. a. With 95% confidence the proportion of all caterpillars that lived to become a butterfly is between and . b. If many groups of 405 randomly selected caterpillars were observed, then a different confidence interval would be produced from each group. About percent of these confidence intervals will contain the true population proportion of caterpillars that become butterflies and about percent will not contain the true population proportion.
IMR in Singapore. The infant mortality rate (IMR) is the number of infant deaths per 1000 live births. Suppose that you have been commissioned to estimate the IMR in Singapore. From a random sample of 1109 live births in Singapore, you find that 0.361% of them resulted in infant deaths. You next find a 90% confidence interval: or 0.000647 to 0.00657. You then conclude, “I can be 90% confident that the IMR in Singapore is somewhere between 0.647 and 6.57.” How did you do?
A College Alcohol Study interviewed an SRS of 1000 college students about their drinking habits. Suppose that half of all college students "drink to get drunk" at least once in a while. That is sample proportion, p-hat 0.5. %3D 9. Estimate a 95% confidence interval for the actual percentage among all students. Round the number to nearest hundredth.

Now you are interested in the percent of dogs that were neutered in your sample. For 40 dogs, 30 of them were neutered. What is the LOWER limit for this confidence interval? The statistical value you will need is 1.96. Give your answer as 0.XX
Tina catches a 14-pound bass. She does not know the population mean or standard deviation. So she takes a sample of five friends and they say the last bass they caught was 9, 12, 13, 10, and 10 pounds. Find the t and calculate a 95% (α = .05) confidence interval.
You are interested in constructing a 95% confidence interval for the proportion of all caterpillars that eventually become butterflies. Of the 390 randomly selected caterpillars observed, 60 lived to become butterflies. Round answers to 4 decimal places where possible. a. With 95% confidence the proportion of all caterpillars that lived to become a butterfly is between and . b. If many groups of 390 randomly selected caterpillars were observed, then a different confidence interval would be produced from each group. About percent of these confidence intervals will contain the true population proportion of caterpillars that become butterflies and about percent will not contain the true population proportion.
In a recent year, 6% of cars sold had a manual transmission. A random sample of college students who owned cars revealed the following: out of 124 cars, 25 had manual transmissions. Estimate the proportion of college students who drive cars with manual transmissions with 90% confidence. Round intermediate and final answers to at least three decimal places.
