6. In a survey of 2563 adults from France, 1666 said that they believed that the activities of humans are contributing to an increase in global temperatures. A 95% confidence interval for the proportion p of adults in France, who thinks humans are contributing to an increase in global temperatures, is closest to (a) (0.3815, 0.4227) (b) (0.5315,0.7935) (c) (0.6315, 0.6685) (d) (0.1727,0.7819) (e) (0.2500, 0.7500)

In a recent survey, a random sample of OSU football fans was asked if they would consider dating someone who is a fan of a rival football team. Based on the proportion who answered “yes” to this question, a 95% confidence interval was constructed, and this interval was from 0.66 to 0.80. From this information, we can conclude that 1. less than half of the sample said they would consider dating a fan of a rival team. 2. if you randomly select one OSU football fan, there is a 95% chance that fan would consider dating someone who is a fan of a rival football team. 3. the sample proportion is definitely between 0.66 and 0.80. 4. the margin of error is equal to 0.05. 5. there is a 5% chance a mistake was made when constructing the confidence interval.arrow_forward6.

The 90% confidence interval for the proportion of all American River College students who drink coffee on a regular basis is (0.262, 0.438). What will be true about the 95% confidence interval for these data? 1. The 95% confidence interval is narrower than the 90% confidence interval. 2. The 95% confidence interval is wider than the 90% confidence interval. 3. The two intervals will have the same width. 4. It is impossible to say which interval will be wider.arrow_forward1.
