It is said that happy and healthy workers are efficient and productive. A company that manufactures exercising machines wanted to know the percentage of large companies that provide on-site health club facilities. A sample of 240 such companies showed that 101 of them provide such facilities on site. Construct a 95% confidence interval for the percentage of all such companies that provide such facilities on site. What is the margin of error for this estimate? Round your answers to one decimal place. Confidence interval: i % to i % Margin of error: i !

An apartment hunter is shopping for either a one-bedroom or two-bedroom apartment in varying apartment buildings. She wants to estimate the additional amount she would have to pay, on average, for a two-bedroom apartment versus a one-bedroom apartment. The table shows the prices, in dollars, for one- and two-bedroom apartments from the nine buildings she visited. A 95% confidence interval for the true mean difference between two-bedroom and one-bedroom apartments for apartment buildings like the ones in the sample was (255.93, 508.51). A friend of the apartment hunter tells her to expect to pay about $500 more per month for a two-bedroom apartment than for a one-bedroom apartment. Does the confidence interval provide evidence for the friend’s claim? A. No, the confidence interval does not contain 0, so the friend’s claim is not plausible. B. No, the confidence interval contains many more numbers below 500 than above 500, so it is unlikely that the friend’s assertion is correct. C.…
The ability to find a job after graduation is very important to GSU students as it is to the students at most colleges and universities. Suppose we take a poll (random sample) of 3878 students classified as Juniors and find that 3241 of them believe that they will find a job immediately after graduation. Find the 95% confidence interval for the proportion of GSU Juniors who believe that they will, immediately, be employed after graduation. Use Z = 1.96. Use the unrounded values in Excel to find the answers to #2, #3 and #4. 1. Find the sample proportion of GSU Juniors who believe that they will, immediately, be graduation. 2. The standard error for sample proportion has a value of 3. The margin of error has a value of --
