In the garden spider, the female often attempts to eat the male before or after mating, making sex a daunting prospect for the males. In a series of mating observations, the courting male was captured and eaten by the female 21 of 52 random and independent mating trials. (Elgar & Nash 1988) Based on the sample, estimate the true proportion of males that are eaten by females, using a 95% confidence interval. 20.9% to 21.1% 40% conditions were not met 27% to 54%

In a study designed to assess the side effects of two drugs, 50 animals were given drug A, and 50 animals were given Drug B. Of the 50 receiving Drug A, 11 showed undesirable side effects, while 8 of those receiving Drug B reacted similarly. Find the 98% confidence interval for the true difference in population proportions, pˆ A − pˆ B.
The International Air Transport Association surveys business travelers to develop quality ratings for transatlantic gateway airports. The maximum possible rating is 10.

A clinical trial tests a method designed to increase the probability of conceiving a girl. In the study 690 babies were born, and 345 of them were girls. Use the sample data to construct a 99% confidence interval estimate of the percentage of girls born. Based on the result, does the method appear to be effective?
Suppose Devonna owns a national chain of day care centers. She believes that 62% of her students have been to the beach in the last year. She samples 152 children who are enrolled in her 15 day care centers in the state of Florida and finds out that 48 have been to the beach in the last year. From this data, she calculates the z-statistic. Next, she wants to calculate the z-confidence interval for the proportion. Indicate whether or not the requirements for the z-confidence interval for a proportion have been met, and select the reason or reasons why the requirements have or have not been met. The requirements have not have been met because the sample is not random. the sample is random. the setting is not binomial. there are not at least 10 successes and 10 failures. there are at least 10 successes and 10 failures. the setting is binomial.
