Suppose, upon constructing a 95% confidence interval based on your sample proportion of 0.28, you obtain the following interval: 0.201 to 0.359. Notice that the sample proportion of 0.28 is between the values of 0.201 and 0.359. Does this surprise you? Please explain why or why not.

Description: Imagine that you obtain a random sample of 125 M&M candies, and you notice that 28% ofthese candies are blue. If we convert the sample percentage of 0.28 to a sample proportion (bydividing 28 by 100), we get 0.28. Suppose, upon constructing a 95% co

50 of the 600 medical students who were chosen at random stated they intended to work in a rural area. Calculate the 90% confidence interval for the actual percentage of medical students who intend to practice in rural areas. The responses shown here are estimates.
A survey is taken of 250 students, and a P of 0.45 is found. The same survey is repeated with 1,000 students, and the same value is found. Compare the two 95% confidence intervals. What is the relationship? Is the margin of error for the second one four times smaller? How much smaller is it?
Sam is the manager of a used clothing store. He wants to estimate the average amount a customer spends per visit. A random sample of 70 customers’ receipts gave a mean of = $7.10 with a standard deviation s = $2.30. Find a 99% confidence interval for the average amount spent by all customers. Interpret your findings.
A professor was curious about her students' grade point averages. She took a random sample of 15 students and found a mean GPA of 3.01 with a standard deviation of 0.534. Which of the following formulas gives a 99% confidence interval for the mean GPA of the professor's students?
A survey of 32,782 adults in 2004 indicated that 24.6% of adults were current smokers. A similar study conducted in 1995 of 40,000 adults indicated that 29.7% were current smokers. a. Find and interpret a point estimate of the difference between the proportion of current smokers in 1995, and the proportion of current smokers in 2004. b. A 95% confidence interval for the true difference is (-0.058,-0.045). Interpret. c. What assumptions must you make for the confidence interval i part b to be valid? (…) a. Find a point estimate of the difference between the proportion of current smokers in 1995 and the proportion of current smokers in 2004. (Round to three decimal places as needed.)

Aston’s Career Service wants to find out what proportion of Aston’s students work in a part-time job. A similar survey undertaken 3 years ago found that 60% of Aston students worked in a part-time job. How many students must it include in the sample if it wants to achieve a ±4% accuracy at a 95% confidence level?

Find a confidence interval for μ or p. In the year 2000, a survey of 908 U.S. adults were asked who they felt was the greatest President. Of those surveyed, 184 reported that Abraham Lincoln was the greatest President.
