- The percent of people who have generally believed fact A used to be 64%. A campaign to change people's thoughts was put in place and the people running that campaign run a hypothesis test to see if there has been change from the previous percent.

- K A magazine provided results from a poll of 500 adults who were asked to identify their favorite pie. Among the 500 respondents, 14% chose chocolate pie, and the margin of error was given as ±4 percentage points. Describe what is meant by the statement that "the margin of error was given as ±4 percentage points." 身 Choose the correct answer below. OA. The statement indicates that the study is 100% -4% = 96% confident that the true population percentage of people that prefer chocolate pie is 14%. OB. The statement indicates that the true population percentage of people that prefer chocolate pie is in the interval 14% ±4%. OC. The statement indicates that the interval 14% ± 4% is likely to contain the true population percentage of people that prefer chocolate OD. The statement indicates that the study is only 4% confident that the true population percentage of people that prefer chocolate pie is exactly 14%.arrow_forwardStatistical tests are more accurate if there is a sample size of n > 30. how will a sample size of n = 20 effect the results of a test?arrow_forwardThe first pic is the question, since I’ve been receiving some incorrect answers from the tutors, I included an example problem in the second pic.arrow_forward
