Chapter 8.3, Problem 25E
The article “Younger Adults More Likely than Their Elders to Prefer Reading the News” (October 6, 2016, pewresearch.org/fact-tank/2016/10/06/younger-adults-more-likely-than-their-elders-to-prefer-reading-news/, retrieved March 28, 2018) estimated that only 3% of those age 65 and older who prefer to watch the news, rather than to read or listen to news, watch the news online. This estimate was based on a large sample of adult Americans conducted by the Pew Research Center. Consider the population consisting of all adult Americans age 65 and older who prefer to watch the news and suppose that for this population the actual proportion who prefer to watch online is 0.03. (Hint: See Example 8.9.)
- a. A random sample of n = 100 people will be selected from this population and
mean and standard deviation of the sampling distribution of - b. Is it reasonable to assume that the sampling distribution of
- c. Suppose that the
sample size is n = 400 rather than n = 100, as in Part (b). Does the change in sample size change the mean and standard deviation of the sampling distribution of - d. Is it reasonable to assume that the sampling distribution of

According to the February 2008 Federal Trade Commission report on consumer fraud and identity theft, 23% of all complaints in 2007 were for identity theft. In that year, Arkansas had 1,601 complaints of identity theft out of 3,482 consumer complaints ("Consumer fraud and," 2008). Do these data provide enough evidence to show that Arkansas had a higher proportion of identity theft than 23%? Test at the 5% level.
The Pew Research Center Internet Project, conducted on the 25th anniversary of the Internet, involved a survey of 857 Internet users (Pew Research Center Website, April 1, 2014). It provided a variety of statistics on Internet users. For instance, in 2014, 87% of. American adults \Vere Internet users. In 1995 only 14% of. American adults used the Internet.
a. The sample survey showed that 90% of respondents said the Internet has been a good thing for them personally. Develop a 95% confidence interval for the proportion of respondents who say the Internet has been a good thing for them personally.
b. The sample survey showed that 67% of Internet users said the Internet has generally strengthened their relationship with family and friends. Develop a 95% confidence interval for the proportion of respondents who say the Internet has strengthened their relationship with family and friends.
c. Fifty-six percent of Internet users have seen an online group come together to help a person or…
In a poll conducted March 17-21, 2005, by the Pew Research Center for the People and the
Press, a simple random sample of 1505 American adults were asked whether they were in favor
of tighter enforcement of government rules on TV content during hours when children are most
likely to be watching. Of the 1505 adults, 1129 responded yes.
1. What proportion of those surveyed were in favor of tighter enforcement of government
rules on TV content during hours when children are most likely to be watching?
2. Obtain a 95% confidence interval for the proportion of Americans who are in favor of
tighter enforcement of government rules on TV content during hours when children are
most likely to be watching. (Round the final answer to four decimal places).
P(1-p)
CI = ptz
3. Interpret the confidence interval.
4. What proportion of those surveyed were in favor of tighter enforcement of government
rules on TV content during hours when children are most likely to be watching when we
apply the…
