A sample of college students was asked whether they would return the money if they found a wallet on the street. Of the 93 women, 84 said "yes," and of the 75 men, 47 said "yes." Assume that these students represent all college students. (a) Find separate approximate 95% confidence intervals for the proportions of college women and college men who would say "yes" to this question. (Round the answers to three decimal places.) for women for men (b) Find...

The 2000 election fiasco in Florida has raised some serious questions regarding election reform. One poll specifically asked voters if they favor doing away with the Electoral College and choosing the president using a strictly popular vote (in which each vote is counted) of the people. The sample of 1,200 voters was taken and the results are given below. Please note that the results shown are for the proportion of those sampled that favored doing away with the Electoral College...

The following table shows the average number of words understood by later-born and first-born one-year-old children from two random samples. Assume the population variances of the number of words understood are equal. Use the table to complete parts a through c. Later-Born First-Born Sample mean 437.4 556.0 Sample standard deviation 133.8 131.4 Sample size 13 13 a. Construct a 95% confidence interval to estimate the difference between the average number of words understood by first-born and later-born one-year-old children. The...

4 Chapter 7 Test B 16. [Objective: Calculate and interpret confidence intervals for a proportion) A random sample of 950 adult television viewers showed that 48% planned to watch sporting event X. The margin of error is 4 percentage points with a 95% confidence level. Does the confidence interval support the claim that the majority of adult television viewers plan to watch sporting event X? No; the confidence interval means that we are 95% confident that the population proportion of...

A recent opinion poll of funding for the arts asked, “Would you
favor spending more federal tax money on the arts?” In a random
sample of 220 women from the U.S., 59 responded ‘yes.’ In a random
sample of 175 men from the U.S., 56 responded ‘yes.’ Use these data
as follows, to test whether there is any difference in the
proportion of men vs. women who favor spending more for the
arts:
c. From the output, report the test...

Two random samples are taken, one from among first-year students and the other from among fourth-year students at a public university. Both samples are asked if they favor modifying the student Honor Code. A summary of the sample sizes and number of each group answering yes'' are given below: First-Years (Pop. 1):Fourth-Years (Pop. 2):n1=95,n2=93,x1=48x2=58 Is there evidence, at an α=0.05 level of significance, to conclude that there is a difference in proportions between first-years and fourth-years? Carry out an appropriate...

2. Suppose that a random sample of 41 state college students is asked to measure the length of their right foot in centimeters. A 90% confidence interval for the mean foot length for students at this university turns out to be (21.709, 25.091). If we now calculated a 95% confidence interval, would the new confidence interval be wider than or narrower than or the same as the original? b. Suppose two researchers want to estimate the proportion of American college...

You would like to conduct a survey to estimate the average number of hours of sleep UWEC students get per night. You would like a 95% confidence interval whose width is no more than 0.5 hours. a. What is the margin of error, ?? b. What is ?, the level of significance that corresponds to the confidence level? c. What is the multiplier (??/2)? e. Find the smallest sample size that would be reasonable to achieve your goal of a...
