With data from the 2009 National Health Interview Survey, the Centers for Disease Control estimated that 9.4% of U.S. children had asthma. Suppose that 12% of a random sample of 500 U.S. poor children have asthma. We used the estimate from the 2009 National Health Interview Survey to calculate a standard error of 0.013. The data allows the use of a normal model. So we can find an approximate 95% confidence interval for the percentage of all U.S. poor children who have asthma. Which interval is the approximate 95% confidence interval?    1. 0.094 to 0.146   2. 0.107 to 0.133    3. 0.026 to 0.214   4. 0.068 to 0.12

With data from the 2009 National Health Interview Survey, the Centers for Disease Control estimated that 9.4% of U.S. children had asthma. Suppose that 12% of a random sample of 500 U.S. poor children have asthma.

We used the estimate from the 2009 National Health Interview Survey to calculate a standard error of 0.013. The data allows the use of a normal model. So we can find an approximate 95% confidence interval for the percentage of all U.S. poor children who have asthma.

Which interval is the approximate 95% confidence interval?

  
1. 0.094 to 0.146
 
2. 0.107 to 0.133 
 
3. 0.026 to 0.214
 
4. 0.068 to 0.12
