A survey of 200 students is selected randomly on a large university campus. They are asked if they use a laptop in class to take notes. The result of the survey is that 70 of the 200 students responded “yes.” a. What is the value of the sample proportion who responded “yes”? b. Construct a 95% confidence interval for the true proportion who responded “yes”.

B. Identify the value of the margin of error E C. Construct the confidence interval There are 3 part to this question. Other two questions are above.

Social Networking Sites In a survey of 2255 randomly selected US adults (age 18 or older), 1787 of them use the Internet regularly. Of the Internet users, 1054 use a social networking site.7 Find and interpret a 95% confidence interval for each of the following proportions: (a)   Proportion of US adults who use the Internet regularly. (b)   Proportion of US adult Internet users who use a social networking site. (c)   Proportion of all US adults who use a social networking site. Use the confidence interval to estimate whether it is plausible that 50% of all US adults use a social networking site.

A political candidate has asked you to conduct a poll to determine what percentage of people support her. If the candidate only wants a 1.5% margin of error at a 99% confidence level, what size of sample is needed? Enter an integer or decimal number [more..]

A college administrator is interested in determining the proportion of students who receive some sort of financial aid. Instead of examining the records for all students, the administrator randomly draws 120 students and finds that 48 of them are receiving financial aid. Use a 90% confidence interval to estimate the true proportion of students who receive financial aid.

The National Association of Colleges and Employers sponsors the Graduating Student and Alumni Survey.Part of the survey gauges student optimism in landing a job after graduation. According to one year’s surveyresults, published in American Demographics, among the 1218 respondents, 733 said that they expecteddifficulty finding a job. Construct a 90% confidence interval for the proportion of students who expecteddifficulty finding a job. Interpret your result.

A political scientist claims that 38% of first-year college students characterize themselves as being “moderate” or “middle of the road” as far as their political affiliation is concerned.   Believing this claimed value is too high, you survey a random sample of 400 first-year college students and find that 120 characterize themselves as being “moderate” or “middle of the road.”    Based on this information, what will the test statistic be? Choose the answer below that is closest to what you calculate, and try not to do a lot of rounding until you get to the very end of your calculations.   1. -0.3 2. -1.2 3. -2.6 4. -3.3 5. None of the other answer options are correct because the test statistic should be positive, not negative.

A poll was conducted to determine why Americans decide not to go to college. Of the 335 Americans who didn't go to college survey surveyed, 47% decided not to go to college because they couldn't afford it.  Suppose we wanted the margin of error for the 90% confidence level to be about 1.5%. What sample size would you recommend for the survey? Round your answer appropriately.
