**Transcription for Educational Website:**Twenty years ago, a very famous psychologist specializing in marriage counseling authored a book detailing the way in which she believed spouses should communicate. She is now interested in the proportion of all couples who bought her book who stayed together. For a random sample of 200 couples who bought her book, she found that 160 of them stayed together. Based on this, compute a 99% confidence interval for the proportion of all couples who bought her book who stayed together. Then find the lower limit and upper limit of the 99% confidence interval.Carry your intermediate computations to at least three decimal places. Round your answers to two decimal places. (If necessary, consult a list of formulas.)- Lower limit: [ ]- Upper limit: [ ]

Given Data Sample Size, n = 200 Number of successes, x = 160.0

Students at a certain college were asked if they have a car. After surveying 501 students, it was found that 20.4% of them have a car. The margin of error was 3.6% with a 95% confidence level. What does this margin of error tell you about the percentage of students at that college who have a car? We can be 95% confident that somewhere between % and % of the students at that college have a car.

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.
Fear of the dark is quite common among children. However, what about adults? One polling agency released the results of a survey that asked people over 30 years old if they keep the lights on at night. Among 452 respondents, 34% indeed leave the light on when going to sleep. What does this margin of error tell you about the percentage of adults who keep the lights on at night? We can be 95% confident that somewhere between % and % of adults keep the lights on at night.
