Suppose that 60 percent of voters in a particlular region support a candidate. Find the probability that a sample of 1,000 voters would yield a sample proportion in favor of the candidate within 3 percentage points of the actual proportion.

Suppose we conduct a poll to estimate the proportion of voters who favor a major presidential candidate. Assuming that 50 percent of the electorate could be in favor of the candidate, determine the sample size needed so that we are 95 percent confident that pˆ , the sample proportion of voters who favor the candidate, is within a margin of error of .01 of p, the population proportion of all voters who are in favor of the candidate. n =...

A news article that you read stated that 51% of voters prefer the Democratic candidate. You think that the actual percent is smaller. 127 of the 260 voters that you surveyed said that they prefer the Democratic candidate. What can be concluded at the 0.01 level of significance? a). For this study, we should use _____________ b). The null and alternative hypotheses would be: Ho: (please enter a decimal) H1: (Please enter a decimal) c). The test statistic = (please...

Suppose that a particular candidate for public office is in fact favored by 49% of all registered voters in the district. A polling organization will take a random sample of 750 voters and will use p̂, the sample proportion, to estimate p. What is the approximate probability that p̂ will be greater than 0.5, causing the polling organization to incorrectly predict the result of the upcoming election? (Round your answer to four decimal places.)

1 In the November 2016 election, Donald Trump received 49% of the votes cast in Florida (Hillary Clinton received 47%). Many news organizations conduct surveys before elections to try to predict the winner. Suppose a survey was conducted in Florida shortly before the election such that we can assume that the true proportion of the population who planned to vote for Trump was 49%. The pollsters surveyed 600 likely voters and found that 283 of them planned to vote for...

(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 =
