A poll asked college students in 2016 and again in 2017 whether they believed the First Amendment guarantee of freedom of the press was secure or threatened in the country today. In 2016, 2087 of 3103 students surveyed said that freedom of the press was secure or very secure. In 2017, 1930 of 2988 students surveyed felt this way. b. Use the sample data to construct a 95% confidence interval for the difference in the proportions of college students in 2016 and 2017 who felt freedom of religion was secure or very secure. How does your confidence interval support your hypothesis test conclusion?
About 74% of MCC students believe they can achieve the American dream and about 65% of Ferris State Universtiy students believe they can achieve the American dream. Construct a 95% confidence interval for the difference in the proportions of Montcalm Community College students and Ferris State University students who believe they can achieve the American dream. There were 100 MCC students surveyed and 100 FSU students surveyed. a. With 95% confidence the difference in the proportions of MCC and FSU students who believe they can achieve the American dream is (round to 3 decimal places) and (round to 3 decimal places). b. If many groups of 100 randomly selected MCC students and 100 randomly selected FSU students were surveyed, then a different confidence interval would be produced from each group. About percent of these confidence intervals will contain the true population proportion of the difference in the proportions of MCC students and FSU students who believe they can achieve…
A political researcher takes a survey of 310 randomly selected registered voters in Orlando, and each person was asked who they plan on voting for in the 2024 presidential election. 110 said they plan on voting for Candidate A, 185 said they plan on voting for Candidate B, and 15 were unsure or plan to vote for another candidate. The researcher wants to construct a 95% confidence interval for the proportion of all registered voters in Orlando who plan to vote for Candidate B. What is the point estimate? Round final answer to 3 decimal places.
A university planner wants to determine the proportion of undergraduate students who plan to attend graduate school. She surveys 54 current students and finds that 27 would like to continue their education in graduate school. Which of the following is the correct 90% confidence interval estimate for the proportion of undergraduates who plan to attend graduate school?
A poll of 1,200 voters asked what the most significant issue was in the upcoming election. Sixty-five percent answered the economy. We are interested in the population proportion of voters who feel the economy is the most important Construct a 95 % confidence interval and state the confidence interval and the error .
Toastmasters International cites a report by Gallop Poll that 40% of Americans fear public speaking. A student believes that less than 40% of students at her school fear public speaking. She randomly surveys 361 schoolmates and finds that 135 report they fear public speaking. Conduct a hypothesis test to determine if the percent at her school is less than 40%.
In 2012, the Supreme Court upheld the constitutionality of the Affordable Care Act (ACA), known colloquially as Obamacare. A Gallup poll conducted the day after this decision found that 46% of 1,012 Americans agree with this decision. At a 95% confidence level, this sample has a 3% margin of error. Based on this information, determine if the following four statements are true or false. Explain your reasoning. True or False and why? We are 95% confident that between 43% and 49% of the 1,012 sampled Americans support the decision. True or False and why? We are 95% confident that between 43% and 49% of all Americans support the decision. True or False and why? If we considered many different random samples of 1,012 Americans and, for each one, we calculated the sample proportions of those who support the decision, then 95% of those sample proportions will be between 43% and 49%. True or False and why? The margin of error at a 90% confidence level would be higher than 3%.

Two different market research companies conducted a survey on the same issue. Company A used a 90% confidence level and company B used a 95% confidence level. If both companies used the same sample size, what does this imply about the margin of error for each survey? Select one: O a. Company A will have a lower margin of error. b. They will be the same. c. Company B will have a lower margin of error.
