A new radar system is being developed to successfully detect a majority of packages dropped by airplane. In a series of random trials, the radar detected the packages being dropped 39 times out of 56. (a) Calculate the point estimate, standard error, margin of error, and the appropriate bound for an 80% one-sided confidence interval/bound for the proportion of all packages being dropped that are detected. (Round your answers to 4 decimal places, if needed.) Point estimate = Standard error = Margin of error = The corresponding interval is ( 1). (b) Based on this one-sided confidence interval, does a population proportion value of 0.7 seem appropriate? O No, since the interval is completely above 0.7. O Yes, since the interval is completely above 0.7. O No, since the interval contains 0.7. O Yes, since the interval contains 0.7.

A poll reported that only 1316 out of a total of 1746 adults in a particular region said they had a "great deal of confidence" or "quite a lot of confidence" in the military. Assume the conditions for using the CLT are met. Complete part (a) (a) Find a 95% confidence interval for the proportion that express a great deal of confidence or quite a lot of confidence in the military, and interpret this interval. The 95% confidence interval for the proportion that express a great deal of confidence or quite a lot of confidence in the military is: ( ? , ? )
A recent survey showed that 42% of US employers were likely to require higher employee contributions for health care coverage. Suppose the survey was based on a sample of 500 companies. Find the 99% confidence interval for the proportion of all companies likely to require higher employee contributions for health care coverage. (Round to four decimal places)
In a preelection poll, a pollster finds that 442 out of 650 people polled favor Smith. Construct the 95% confidence interval for the proportion (nearest to 0.0001) of people in the whole population who favor Smith.
In a science fair project, Emily conducted an experiment in which she tested professional touch therapists to see if they could sense her energy field. She flipped a coin to select either her right hand or her left hand, and then she asked the therapists to identify the selected hand by placing their hand just under Emily's hand without seeing it and without touching it. Among285 trials, the touch therapists were correct 130 times. Construct a 95% confidence interval estimate of the proportion of correct responses made by touch therapists.

A random sample of high school seniors were asked whether they were applying for college. The resulting confidence interval for the proportion of students applying for college is (0.65,0.69). What is the margin of error?
Researchers are studying whether the proportion of homeschooled children in district 1 (considered 1) is less than the proportion of homeschooled children in neighboring district 2 (considered as 2). To test the theory info was gathered: district 1 had 600 students of which 90 were homeschooled. District 2 had 550 students of which 99 were homeschooled. What is the 95% confidence interval for the difference proportion between district 1 and 2? A. (-0.086, 0.026) B. (0.143, 0.217) C. (0.113, 0.187)
