Most Americans love participating in or at least watching sporting events. Some feel that sports have more than just entertainment value. In a survey of 1000 adults, conducted by KRC Research & Consulting, 78% felt that spectator sports have a positive effect on society. Find a 95% confidence interval for the percentage of the public that feel that sports have a positive effect on society. What value of p produces the margin of error of plus or minus 3.1%?

Several years ago, 46% of parents who had children in grades K-12 were satisfied with the quality of education the students receive. A recent poll asked 1,135 parents who have children in grades K-12 if they were satisfied with the quality of education the students receive. Of the 1,135 surveyed, 474 indicated that they were satisfied. Construct a 90% confidence interval to assess whether this represents evidence that parents' attitudes toward the quality of education have changed. What are the null and alternative hypotheses? Ho: P versus H₁: p (Round to two decimal places as needed.) (…)
Several years ago, 44% of parents who had children in grades K-12 were satisfied with the quality of education the students receive. A recent poll asked 1,075 parents who have children in grades K-12 if they were satisfied with the quality of education the students receive. Of the 1,075 surveyed, 479 indicated that they were satisfied. Construct a 95% confidence interval to assess whether this represents evidence that parents' attitudes toward the quality of education have changed. What are the null and alternative hypotheses?

ESPN believed that 30 percent of Sportszone visitors were females. To test this hypothesis, it collected audience profile data at the ESPN SportsZone Web site and found that 36% of the visitors were females.
