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.

2) The Director of NJ Division of Elections wants to determine the proportion of college students who vote in elections. In a random sample of 250 college students, it was found that 120 students voted in the last election. Construct a 95% confidence interval for the population proportion of college students who vote in elections. Interpret your results.
Ms. Lisa Fong is considering running in the election for the HKBU Student Union President. Before deciding to run in the election, she decides to conduct a poll of 400 HKBU students to what her chances are that she will win. Out of the 400 HKBU students polled, 250 students said they would vote for her, as opposed to the other candidates.
Find the 90% confidence interval for the population proportion of HKBU students who will vote for Ms. Lisa Fong. State any assumption(s) and/or approximation(s).
Based on the confidence interval you found in part (a), can you say that Ms. Lisa Fong has more than a 50% chance to be President of the HKBU Student Union? Please justify your answer.

- An executive for a large company is considering a change to health insurance plans offered to the employees. To assess employee satisfaction with the current plan, the executive sends an email to all company employees asking their opinion of the current plan. A summary of the results received shows that 27% of company employees are "highly satisfied" with the current health insurance plan. Which statement about the results is most likely to be true? O The results may suffer from undercoverage because the opinions of segments of employees may not be recorded, O The results provide an accurate representation of support because the opinion of all employees has been recorded. O The results may suffer from nonresponse bias because many satisfied employees may choose to not respond to the email survey. O The estimate of 27% for employee support of the health plan is likely accurate because all company employees were contacted via email.
