A human resource manager wants to see if there is a difference in the proportion of minority applicants who get the job and the proportion of Caucasian applicants who get the job. After reviewing the records, she came up with the following confidence interval for the difference between the proportions: [−0.14,−0.04][-0.14,-0.04]. The sample mean difference was -0.09. The error bound is defined by:Right Endpoint - Sample Mean DifferenceFind the error bound.
A survey of folk music fans yield this 95% confidence interval estimate of the proportion of fans who love the music of David Wilcox : 0.74 to 0.86. To the nearer percentage point the margin of error for the survey is
You are trying to calculate a confidence interval to estimate a population mean. After performing the calculation, the interval you created is too wide to allow for any reasonable interpretation about the population mean. You were using a 99% confidence interval, o = 200, and your sample size was 100. What specific actions could you take in order to narrow the confidence interval?

A human resource manager wants to see if there is a difference in the proportion of minority applicants who get the job and the proportion of Caucasian applicants who get the job. After reviewing the records, she came up with the following confidence interval for the difference between the proportions: [ − 0.15 , − 0.07 ] . The sample mean difference was -0.11.

Thelma and Louise are each attempting to estimate the proportion of adults who enjoy listening to country music. They each survey a different random sample of adults, and in each sample, the proportion who say they enjoy listening to country music is 0.29. Thelma and Louise each use their sample data to construct a confidence interval. Thelma’s interval is from 0.242 to 0.338 and Louise’s interval is from 0.237 to 0.323. One of these intervals was computed correctly and the other was not. Which interval must be the correct one?

A sample of 260 observations selected from a population produced a sample proportion equal to 0.85. a. Make a 92 % confidence interval for p. b. Construct a 95 % confidence interval for p. c. Determine a 97 % confidence interval for p. Note 1: Your confidence interval should be given in the format of (a, b) where a andb are two numbers. Note 2: Keep 3 decimal places in your answer for the confidence interval.
