According to some car loan statistics, 44% of Americans are relying on an auto loan to pay for their cars. Assuming this finding to be based on a simple random sample of 1500 Americans, construct and interpret the 95% confidence interval for the population proportion of Americans who have a car loan.

The New York Times conducted a nationwide poll of 1048 randomly selected 13- to 17-year-olds. to estimate the proportion of 13- to 17-year-olds who have a television in their room. We can consider the sample to be a simple random sample. Of these 1048 teenagers, 692 had a television in their room. Give a 95% confidence interval for the proportion of all people in this age group who had a TV in their room at the time of the poll, and interpret what your interval means in context.

A college professor would like to estimate the proportion of students who pull an "all-nighter," meaning they study all night for an upcoming exam. She selects a random sample of 100 students from her large college and finds that the 99% confidence interval for the true proportion of students who pull an all-nighter is 0.48 to 0.62. Which of these statements is a correct interpretation of the confidence level? O Approximately 99% of all students have pulled an all-nighter. O There is a 99% probability that the true proportion of all students who pull an all-nighter is between 0.48 and 0.62. If many random samples of size 100 are selected from all students at this college, approximately 99% of the intervals would capture the true proportion who pull an all-nighter. C Approximately 99% of the sample proportions of students who pull an all-nighter, based on random samples of size 100 from the population of all students at this college, will fall between 0.48 and 0.62.
