Use the given degree of confidence and sample data to construct a confidence interval for the population proportion p. A survey of 865 voters in one state reveals that 47.2% favor approval of an issue before the legislature. Construct the 95% confidence interval for the true proportion of all voters in the state who favor approval. O 0.033 < p < 0.034 O 0.471 < p < 0.472 O 0.428 < p < 0.516 O 0.439 < p < 0.505

Suppose a polling agency reported that 47.6% of registered voters were in favor of raising income taxes to pay down the national debt. The agency states that results are based on telephone interviews with a random sample of 1004 registered voters. Suppose the agency states the margin of error for 90% confidence is 2.6%. Determine and interpret the confidence interval for the proportion of registered voters who are in favor of raising income taxes to pay down the national debt. that the proportion of V in favor of raising income taxes to pay down the national debt is between and (Type integers or decimals rounded to three decimal places as needed. Use as ending order.)

In a survey of 2477 adults in a recent year, 1491 say they have made a New Year's resolution. Construct 90% and 95% confidence intervals for the population proportion. Interpret the results and compare the widths of the confidence intervals. The 90% confidence interval for the population proportion p is A researcher wishes to estimate, with 95% confidence, the population proportion of adults who think Congress is doing a good or excellent job. Her estimate must be accurate within 3% of the true proportion. (a) No preliminary estimate is available. Find the minimum sample size needed. (b) Find the minimum sample size needed, using a prior study that found that 38% of the respondents said they think Congress is doing a good or excellent job. (c) Compare the results from parts (a) and (b). (a) What is the minimum sample size needed assuming that no prior information is available? n=
A political researcher takes a survey of 310 randomly selected registered voters in Orlando, and each person was asked who they plan on voting for in the 2024 presidential election. 110 said they plan on voting for Candidate A, 185 said they plan on voting for Candidate B, and 15 were unsure or plan to vote for another candidate. The researcher wants to construct a 95% confidence interval for the proportion of all registered voters in Orlando who plan to vote for Candidate B. What is the point estimate? Round final answer to 3 decimal places.
A random sample of 1,000 voters was drawn and asked on a bipartisan basis about their voting intentions ahead of the recent animal federal election. A total of 610 people said they would vote for the Cat Party. Calculate the 95% confidence interval for the proportion of voters who intend to vote for the Cat Party. Interpret confidence intervals based on this poll and comment on the chances of the Dog Party returning to power.
Out of 500 people sampled, 220 preferred Candidate A. Based on this, find a 90% confidence level for the true proportion of the voting population (pp) prefers Candidate A. Give your answers as decimals, to three places.
Refer to the data set of 20 randomly selected presidents given below. Treat the data as a sample and find the proportion of presidents who were taller than their opponents. Use that result to construct a 95% confidence interval estimate of the population percentage. Based on the result, does it appear that greater height is an advantage for presidential candidates? Why or why not? Construct a 95% confidence interval estimate of the percentage of presidents who were taller than their opponents. If greater height was an advantage, then taller candidates should have won (more than,less than,exactly) 50% of the elections. In this case, greater height (appears,does not appear) to be an advantage for presidential candidates because the confidence interval (does,does not) include 50%.
A poll asked adults in a certain country whether immigration was a good thing or a bad thing for the country. Out of 1093 respondents, 448 said it was a good thing. a. What percentage of those taking the poll said immigration was a good thing? b. Check the conditions to determine whether you can apply the CLT to find a confidence interval. c. Find a 95% confidence interval for the proportion who believe immigration is a good thing. a % of those taking the poll said immigration was a good thing (Round to one decimal place as needed.)
