a) n = 42
= 20/42 = 0.476
n(1 - ) = 42 * 0.476 * (1 - 0.476) = 10.48
Since n(1 - ) > 10, so we can use normal model.
b) At 95% confidence interval the critical value is z* = 1.96
The 95% confidence interval for population proportion is
+/- z* * sqrt((1 - )/n)
= 0.476 +/- 1.96 * sqrt(0.476 * (1 - 0.476)/42)
= 0.476 +/- 0.151
= 0.325, 0.627
c) We are 95% confident that the true proportion for the domestic cats that are "left pawed" lies between the confidence bounds 0.325 and 0.627.
d) Margin of error = 0.06
or, z* * sqrt(p(1 - p)/n) = 0.06
or, 1.96 * sqrt(0.476 * (1 - 0.476)/n) = 0.06
or, n = (1.96 * sqrt(0.476 * (1 - 0.476))/0.06)^2
or, n = 267

photos for each question are all in a row (1 point) In the following questions, use the normal distribution to find a confidence interval for a difference in proportions pu - P2 given the relevant sample results. Give the best point estimate for p. - P2, the margin of error, and the confidence interval. Assume the results come from random samples. Give your answers to 4 decimal places. 300. Use 1.
