(20 points) A random sample of n = 1400 registered voters and found that 720 would vote for the Republican candidate in a state senate race. Let p represent the proportion of registered voters who would vote for the Republican candidate. Consider testing Ho: p= .50 H,:p> .50 e test statistic is z = (b) Regardless of what you acutally computed, suppose your answer to part (a) was z = 1.28. Using this z, p-value =

In a survey of 500 likely voters, 271 responded that they would vote for the incumbent and 229 responded that they would vote for the challenger. Let pp denote the fraction of all likely voters who preferred the incumbent at the time of the survey, and let p^p^ be the fraction of survey respondents who preferred the incumbent. a. Construct a 95% confidence interval for pp. Keep in mind that you should calculate the standard error making no assumptions of...

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...
