Most major airlines allow passengers to carry two pieces of luggage onto the plane. One regional airline is considering changing its policy to allow only one carry-on per passenger. A random sample of 40 passengers was selected. Out of the 40 passengers, 8 had more than one bag. Construct a 95% confidence interval estimate for the percentage of the traveling population that had more than one bag. 19.88% - 20.12% 7.60% -32.40% 7.21% - 32.79% 19.22% - 20.78%
a. Based on this sample, develop and interpret a 95% confidence interval estimate for the proportion of the traveling population that would have been impacted had the one-bag limit been in effect. Determine the confidence interval. b. A certain plane has a capacity for 447 passengers. Determine an interval estimate of the number of passengers that you would expect to carry more than one piece of luggage on the plane. Assume the plane is at its passenger capacity. c. Suppose...
