It's believed that as many as 20% of adults over 50 never graduated from high school. We wish to see if this percentage is the same among the 25 to 30 age group. What sample size would allow us to increase our confidence level to 95% while reducing the margin of error to only 5%? n= (Round up to the nearest integer.)

Suppose we wish to construct a 95% confidence interval for the population proportion of fans in Notre Dame Stadium on a football Saturday who traveled in their own car. When we asked 200 randomly selected fans, 130 answered yes. Calculate the margin of error for this interval. Round your answer to 3 decimal places.
1. You have recently had a debate with a friend about who uses smartphones the most. Your friend believes that men use smartphones more than women. After conducting a research study you find that out of 973 randomly sampled men, 379 use smartphones. Out of 1,304 randomly sampled women, 404 used smartphones. Based on a 95% confidence level, after hypothesis testing, what would you tell your friend? a. Which test will you use to test for this statistical analysis? b.State the null and alternative hypothesis: i.H0: ii.Ha c.What is the value of the test statistic?

45. Dr. Susan Benner is an industrial psychologist. She is currently studying stress among executives of Internet companies. She has developed a questionnaire that she believes measures stress. A score above 80 indicates stress at a dangerous level. A random sample of 15 executives revealed the following stress level scores. 94 78 83 90 78 99 97 90 97 90 93 94 100 75 84 Construct a 95% confidence level for the population mean. According to Dr. Benner's test, is it reasonable to conclude that the mean stress level of Internet executives is 80? Explain. a. b. C. d. X±Z p±z\ p(1-P) n x ±1 -3 n= Za e. None of these.

Vlad the Impaler promotes many of his soldiers into generals (don't ask what happened to the past generals). Haley thinks the proportion is about 79%, but wants to estimate the proportion better by sampling soldiers until her margin of error for a 93% Confidence Interval is less than 0.005. How many soldiers should Haley sample?
Imagine that you obtain a random sample of 125 M&M candies, and you notice that 28% of these candies are blue. If we convert the sample percentage of 0.28 to a sample proportion (by dividing 28 by 100), we get 0.28.
