In a random sample of 275 students at a university, 220 stated that they were nonsmokers. Based on this sample, compute a 95% confidence interval for the proportion of all students at the university who are nonsmokers. Then find the lower limit and upper limit of the 95% confidence interval. Carry your intermediate computations to at least three decimal places. Round your answers to two decimal places. (If necessary, consult a list of formulas.)

Kit and Casey are each attempting to estimate the proportion of college students who can play at least one musical instrument. They each survey a different random sample of college students, and in each sample, the proportion who can play at least one musical instrument is 0.35. Kit and Casey each use their sample data to construct a confidence interval. Kit's interval is from 0.308 to 0.372 and Casey's interval is from 0.318 to 0.382. One of these intervals was computed correctly, but the other was not. Which interval must be incorrect? O Kit's interval must be incorrect. O It's impossible to answer this question without knowing the sample sizes. O It's impossible to answer this question without knowing the sample sizes or the level of confidence used for each interval. O Casey's interval must be incorrect. O It's impossible to answer this question without knowing the level of confidence used for each interval.
In a survey of 2345 adults, 729 say they believe in UFOs. Construct a 90 % confidence interval for the population proportion of adults who believe in UFOs. A 90%confidence interval for the population proportion is (Round to three decimal places as needed.) Interpret your results. Choose the correct answer below. A. With 90% confidence, it can be said that the sample proportion of adults who believe in UFOs is between the endpoints of the given confidence interval. B. With 90% probability, the population proportion of adults who do not believe in UFOs is between the endpoints of the given confidence interval. C. The endpoints of the given confidence interval shows that 90% of adults believe in UFOs. D. With 90% confidence, it can be said that the population proportion of adults who believe in UFOs is between the endpoints of the given confidence interval.

You are interested in constructing a 90% confidence interval for the proportion of all caterpillars that eventually become butterflies. Of the 378 randomly selected caterpillars observed, 45 lived to become butterflies. Round answers to 4 decimal places where possible. a. With 90% confidence the proportion of all caterpillars that lived to become a butterfly is between and . b. If many groups of 378 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.

You are interested in constructing a 99% confidence interval for the proportion of all caterpillars that eventually become butterflies. Of the 418 randomly selected caterpillars observed, 59 lived to become butterflies. Round answers to 4 decimal places where possible. a. With 99% confidence the proportion of all caterpillars that lived to become a butterfly is between and . b. If many groups of 418 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.
