The second annual Airplane Etiquette Study commissioned by Expedia asked 1000 Americans to rank the most annoying on-board behaviors of fellow passengers. Rear seat kickers topped the list with 67% of those surveyed ranking this annoying behavior as number one. You create a 99% confidence interval and find the population proportion to be within 0.038 of 0.67, or between (0.632, 0.708). Which of the following statements gives a valid interpretation of this interval? There is a 67% chance that between 63.2% and 70.8% of all Americans would rank rear seat kickers as the most annoying on-board behavior of fellow passengers. There is a 99% chance that between 63.2% and 70.8% of all Americans would rank rear seat kickers as the most annoying on-board behavior of fellow passengers. You are 99% confident that between 63.2% and 70.8% of the 1000 sampled passengers ranked rear seat kickers as the most annoying on-board behavior of fellow passengers. You are 99% confident that between 63.2% and 70.8% of all Americans would rank rear seat kickers as the most annoying on-board behavior of fellow passengers.

A Pew Internet Project Data Memo presented data comparing adult gamers with teen gamers with respect to the devices on which they play. The data are from two surveys. The adult survey had 1063 gamers, while the teen survey had 1064 gamers. The memo reports that 54% of adult gamers played on game consoles (Xbox, PlayStation, Wii, etc.), while 89% of teen gamers played on game consoles. Suppose you want to construct a 95% confidence interval for the difference. You want to test were or not the two proportions (adult using consoles vs teens using consoles) are the same. You have to calculate a pooled estimate for the proportion. What would that be? (Please round to three decimal places)
The figure to the right shows the results of a survey in which 1018 adults from Country A, 1025 adults from Country B, 1005 adults from Country C, 999 adults from Country D, and 999 adults from Country E were asked whether national identity is strongly tied to birthplace. Construct a 95% confidence interval for the population proportion of adults who say national identity is strongly tied to birthplace for each country listed.

Suppose the English department of a local university has a total of 105 faculty members. Of this number, 24 (about 23%) are part-time instructors. Is it appropriate to find a confidence interval for the percentage of part-time instructors in the department? Find a 95% confidence interval or explain why you should not find a confidence interval for the percentage of part-time instructors in the English department.

Tourism is extremely important to the economy of Florida. Hotel occupancy is an often-reported measure of visitor volume and visitor activity (Orlando Sentinel, May 19, 2018). Hotel occupancy data for February in two consecutive years are as follows, current year previous year occupied rooms 1470 1458 total rooms 1750 1800 a)What is the 95% confidence interval estimate of the change in occupancy for the one-year period? b)Do you think officials will be pleased with the results? c) Using a 0.05 level of significance, test the hypothesis that there has been an increase in the proportion of rooms occupied over the one-year period.
A college professor would like to estimate the proportion of students who pull an "all-nighter," meaning they study all night for an upcoming exam. She selects a random sample of 100 students from her large college and finds that the 99% confidence interval for the true proportion of students who pull an all-nighter is 0.48 to 0.62. Which of these statements is a correct interpretation of the confidence level? O Approximately 99% of all students have pulled an all-nighter. O There is a 99% probability that the true proportion of all students who pull an all-nighter is between 0.48 and 0.62. If many random samples of size 100 are selected from all students at this college, approximately 99% of the intervals would capture the true proportion who pull an all-nighter. C Approximately 99% of the sample proportions of students who pull an all-nighter, based on random samples of size 100 from the population of all students at this college, will fall between 0.48 and 0.62.
