A genetic experiment with peas resulted in one sample of offspring that consisted of 439 green peas and 154 yellow peas. a. Construct a 90% confidence interval to estimate of the percentage of yellow peas. b. It was expected that 25% of the offspring peas would be yellow. Given that the percentage of offspring yellow peas from the sample is not 25%, do the results contradict expectations

A marketing survey involves product recognition in New York and California. Of 679 New Yorkers surveyed, 256 knew of the product while 208 of 631 Californians knew of the product. Construct a 99% confidence interval for the difference between the two population proportions, P₁-P₂ (where p₁ is the proportion of New Yorkers who knew of the product, and P₂ is the proportion of Californians who knew of the product). Give your answers as decimals, rounded to 3 places after the decimal point (if necessary). 99% confidence interval for P₁ - P2:
Refer to the following scenario. An epidemiologist is worried about the prevalence of the flu in East Vancouver and the potential shortage of vaccines for the area. She will need to provide a recommendation for how to allocate the vaccines appropriately across the city. She takes a simple random sample of 339 people living in East Vancouver and finds that 33 have recently had the flu. Suppose that the epidemiologist wants to re-estimate the population proportion and wishes for her 95% confidence interval to have a margin of error no larger than 0.04. How large a sample should she take to achieve this? Sample size=?
A genetic experiment with peas resulted in one sample of offspring that consisted of 412 green peas and 152 yellow peas. a. Construct a 95% confidence interval to estimate of the percentage of yellow peas. b. It was expected that 25% of the offspring peas would be yellow. Given that the percentage of offspring yellow peas is not 25%, do the results contradict expectations?

Political polls typically sample randomly from the U.S. population to investigate the percentage of voters who favor some candidate or issue. The number of people polled is usually on the order of 1000. Suppose that one such poll asks voters how they feel about the President’s handling of environmental issues. The results show that 575 out of the 1280 people polled say they either approve or strongly approve of the President’s handling. a. Find a 95% confidence interval for the proportion of the entire voter population who approve or strongly approve of the President’s handling. b. If the same sample proportion were found in a sample twice as large—that is 1150 out of 2560—how would this affect the confidence interval? How would the confidence interval change if the confidence level were 90% instead of 95%?
In a past presidential election, 37,979,113 people voted for Candidate A 37,758,117 for Candidate B; and 206,521 for third-party candidates. a. What percentage of voters chose Candidate A? b. Would it be appropriate to find a confidence interval of voters choosing Candidate A? Why or why not?

2.) A survey of 200 college students revealed that 160 of them eat dessert daily. Construct a 95% confidence interval for the population proportion of college students who eat dessert daily. Can we claim that 75% eart dessert daily?
2) A random sample of 120 students at a high school was asked whether they would ask their father or mother for help with a homework assignment in science. A second random sample of 150 different students was asked the same question for an assignment in history. Fifty-four students in the first sample and 72 students in the second sample replied that they turned to their mother rather than their father for help. Construct a 99% confidence interval for the difference of the two proportions and express it as . (Round both numbers to the 4th decimal plac
