Several years ago, 53% of parents who had children in grades K-12 were satisfied with the quality of education the students receive. A recent poll asked 1,025 parents who have children in grades K-12 if they were satisfied with the quality of education the students receive. Of the 1,025 surveyed, 488 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 chariged. Ho: P = 53 versus H,:p # 53 (Round to two decimal places as needed.) Use technology to find the 90% confidence interval. The lower bound is The upper bound is (Round to two decimal places as needed.)

Report an appropriate hypothesis test for a positive linear relationship and use a 5% significance level. Explain the potential error in words, in context. In the answer options below I have used the phrase “a certain relationship” because I don’t want to give away exactly what type of relationship it is. Group of answer choices We would be accepting that there was a certain relationship between Sale amount and Tip when actually there wasn’t. We would not be accepting that there was a certain relationship between Sale amount and Tip when indeed there wasn’t. We would not be accepting that there was a certain relationship between Sale amount and Tip when actually there was. We would be accepting that there was a certain relationship between Sale amount and Tip when indeed there was.
A college administrator is interested in determining the proportion of students who receive some sort of financial aid. Instead of examining the records for all students, the administrator randomly draws 120 students and finds that 48 of them are receiving financial aid. Use a 90% confidence interval to estimate the true proportion of students who receive financial aid.
The National Association of Colleges and Employers sponsors the Graduating Student and Alumni Survey.Part of the survey gauges student optimism in landing a job after graduation. According to one year’s surveyresults, published in American Demographics, among the 1218 respondents, 733 said that they expecteddifficulty finding a job. Construct a 90% confidence interval for the proportion of students who expecteddifficulty finding a job. Interpret your result.
2. According to the website Rotten Tomatoes, 94% of people who watched the Netflix show Stranger Things liked it. Since UR students tend to be scientifically minded, we hypothesize that less than 94% of UR students like the show. Out of 219 surveyed UR students, 198 indicated they like Stranger Things. Use the built in prop.test() function to: a. Construct a 90% confidence interval for the proportion of UR students who like Stranger Things. b. Test at the a=0.10 significance level whether the proportion of students who like Stranger Things is LESS THAN 0.94. What conclusion do you reach?
A political scientist claims that 38% of first-year college students characterize themselves as being “moderate” or “middle of the road” as far as their political affiliation is concerned. Believing this claimed value is too high, you survey a random sample of 400 first-year college students and find that 120 characterize themselves as being “moderate” or “middle of the road.” Based on this information, what will the test statistic be? Choose the answer below that is closest to what you calculate, and try not to do a lot of rounding until you get to the very end of your calculations. 1. -0.3 2. -1.2 3. -2.6 4. -3.3 5. None of the other answer options are correct because the test statistic should be positive, not negative.
15. Pain after surgery: In a random sample of 50 patients undergoing a standard surgical procedure, 15 required medication for postoperative pain. In a random sample of 90 patients undergoing a new procedure, only 16 required pain medication. a. Construct a 95% confidence interval for the difference in the proportions of patients needing pain medication between the old and new procedures. b. A physician claims that the proportion of patients who need pain medication is the same for both procedures. Does the confidence interval contradict this claim? 16

A study examined the interactions in a children's museum. (Interactions by visitors to the museum included show-and-tell, learning, teaching, refocusing, participatory play, advocating, and disciplining interactions.) Researchers observed a sample of 154 meaningful interactions, of which 73 were led by children and 81 were led by adult caregivers the target point estimate is 0.474 what is The 90% confidence interval?
In a survey, 19 people were asked how much they spent on their child's last birthday gift. The results were roughly bell-shaped with a mean of $49 and standard deviation of $2. Construct a confidence interval at a 99% confidence level. Give your answers to one decimal place. Interpret your confidence interval in the context of this problem.
Reseacrch commissioned by AT&T and conducted by Braun Research in 2015 polled 2,067 people in the U.S. aged 16-65 who use their smartphone and drive at least once a day. When asked if they used Facebook while driving, 558 respondents answered "yes". a. What is the point estimate for the proportion of drives who access Facebook while driving? b. What is the margin of error for a 95% confidence interval? c. Construct a confidence interval for proportion of all drivers who take pictures while driving. d. Interpret the interval. e. An independent researcher claims that 30% of drivers use Facebook behind the wheel. Based on the interval, is the claim valid? Explain.
