Researchers conducted a survey to examine the difference between the proportion of females who vote and the proportion of males who vote. They found that 85 of 200 males voted whereas 124 of 220 females voted. Which of the following represents the 95% confidence interval for the difference of proportions females males in this case? O (0.225, 0.402) (0.095, 0.282) O (0.044, 0.233) (0.050, 0.147)

A polling agency is interested in testing whether the proportion of women who support a female candidate for office is greater than the proportion of men. The null hypothesis is that there is no difference in the proportion of men and women who support the female candidate. The alternative hypothesis is that the proportion of women who support the female candidate is greater than the proportion of men. The test results in a p-value of 0.112. Which of the following is the best interpretation of the p-value? A. The p-value is the probability that women will support the female candidate. B. The p-value is the probability that men will support the female candidate. C. The p-value is the probability of getting a result that is as extreme as or more extreme than the one obtained, assuming that the proportion of women who support the female candidate is greater than the proportion of men. D. The p-value is the probability of getting a result that is as…
Political polls typically sample randomly from the U.S. population to investigate the percentage of voters who favor some candidate or issue. The number of people polled is usually on the order of 1000. Suppose that one such poll asks voters how they feel about the President’s handling of environmental issues. The results show that 575 out of the 1280 people polled say they either approve or strongly approve of the President’s handling. a. Find a 95% confidence interval for the proportion of the entire voter population who approve or strongly approve of the President’s handling. b. If the same sample proportion were found in a sample twice as large—that is 1150 out of 2560—how would this affect the confidence interval? How would the confidence interval change if the confidence level were 90% instead of 95%?

a survey is conducted to compare the proportions of men and women whoaccess their bank statements online. Denoting the population propotions by Pm and Pw, a two-proportion z-test is carried out to test Ho: pm = pw against Ha: pm > pw. The values of the test statistic is found to be z = 0.784, and the p-value for the test is found to be 0.216. Which of the following is the correct interpretation of the p-value? a) given that ha is true, the probability of getting a value of z at least as large as 0.784 is 0.216. b) given that ho is true, the probability of getting a value of z at least as large as 0.784 is 0.216. c) given the results of the survey, the probability that Pm > Pw is 0.216. d) given the results of the survey, the probability that Pm = Pw is 0.216. e) none of the above
Example 8.11 For a class project, a political science student at a large university wants to estimate the percent of students who are registered voters. He surveys 500 students and finds that 300 are registered voters. Compute a 90% confidence interval for the true percent of students who are registered voters, and interpret the confidence interval.
In a recent poll six hundred adults were asked a series of questions about the state ofthe economy and their children’s future. One question was, “do you expect your children to have a better life than you have had, a worse life, or a life about the same asyours?” The responses showed 242 better, 310 worse, and 48 about the same. Use thesign test and a =.05 to determine whether there is a difference between the number ofadults who feel their children will have a better life compared to a worse life. What isyour conclusion?
