A poll asked whether states should be allowed to conduct random drug tests on elected officials. Of 19,035 respondents, 93% said "yes." a. Determine the margin of error for a 99% confidence interval. b. Without doing any calculations, indicate whether the margin of error is larger or smaller for a 90% confidence interval. Explain your answer.

Refer to the accompanying data set of 20 randomly selected presidents. Treat the data as a sample and find the proportion of presidents who were taller than their opponents. Use that result to construct a 95% confidence interval estimate of the population percentage. Based on the result, does it appear that greater height is an advantage for presidential candidates? Why or why not? Click the icon to view the table of heights. Construct a 95% confidence interval estimate of the percentage of presidents who were taller than their opponents.

Students at a certain college were asked if they have a car. After surveying 601 students, it was found that 40.3% of them have a car. The margin of error was 4% with a 95% confidence level. What does this margin of error tell you about the percentage of students at that college who have a car? We can be 95% confident that somewhere between % and % of the students at that college have a car.
