It is desired to determine what percentage of young men in a city regularly exercise. For this purpose, a sample of 4000 young men was randomly selected, of which 1200 appears to be exercising regularly. Since the standard error of the sample rate is 0.007, we can determine the confidence limits of the proportion of those who do sports regularly in the population with 99% probability.

A simple random sample of size n=200 individuals who are currently employed is asked if they work at home at least once per week. Of the 200 employed individuals surveyed, 35 responded that they did work at home at least once per week. Construct a 99% confidence interval for the population proportion of employed individuals who work at home at least once per week.

Consider a sample data with x=25 and s=2. Compute a chebyshev’s interval for which at least 89% of the data will lie?
1. In a study of perception, 110 men are tested and 24 are found to have red/green color blindness (based on data from USA Today). Assume that this was done in a simple random manner. A 95% confidence interval estimate of the proportion of all men with red/green color blindness was found to be 0.14 to 0.30. If we learn that the actual population proportion of men with red/green colorblindness is equal to 0.12, then what can we conclude? A. The confidence interval was wrong. B. We would need to see the sample data to make any conclusions Pick either answer A or B as your answer and show your work to go with it
According to some car loan statistics, 44% of Americans are relying on an auto loan to pay for their cars. Assuming this finding to be based on a simple random sample of 1500 Americans, construct and interpret the 95% confidence interval for the population proportion of Americans who have a car loan.
A research company is interested in determining the true proportion of Americans that work remotely. In a random sample of 200 individuals, 4.5% of them work remotely. Find a 90% confidence interval for the true proportion of Americans that work remotely.
Suppose we know that a confidence interval for a population proportion is (0.105,0.355), with a sample proportion of p̂=0.23. What is the margin of error?
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?
