During a blood-donor program conducted during finals week for college students, a blood-pressure reading is taken first, revealing that out of 300 donors, 43 have hypertension. All answers to three places after the decimal. 1)  A 95% confidence interval for the true proportion of college students with hypertension during finals week is (___ ,___ ) 2) We can be 80% confident that the true proportion of college students with hypertension during finals week is____, with a margin of error of ____.

Suppose a 95% confidence interval for the difference in test scores between Class 1 and Class 2 (in that order) is the following: 9 +/− 2. These results were based on independent samples of size 100 from each class. Now suppose you switch the order of Class 1 and Class 2 in your analysis but keep the data labeled correctly in terms of which class they came from. Which of the following statements is false? A) You can't do it this way. You'll get negative numbers for the difference in the means and/or negative numbers for the standard error. B) You are confident that the average for Class 2 is 7 to 11 points lower than for Class 1.    C) You are still confident that the classes have significantly different mean scores. D) Your 95% confidence interval will now be entirely negative: from −7 to −11.

A random sample of 500 patients with diabetes were weighed before and after switching to a new drug and the change in their weight is computed for each patient. The resulting 90% confidence interval for the average change in the weight of diabetes patients is (1, 5) expressed in pounds. Which of the following can be the 95% confidence interval generated from the same data?

A random sample of n₁ = 224 people who live in a city were selected and 90 identified as a "dog person." A random sample of n₂ = 95 people who live in a rural area were selected and 61 identified as a "dog person." Find the 95% confidence interval for the difference in the proportion of people that live in a city who identify as a "dog person" and the proportion of people that live in a rural area who identify as a "dog person." Round answers to to 4 decimal places. P1 P2

A random sample of n₁ = 269 people who live in a city were selected and 88 identified as a "dog person." A random sample of n2 = 90 people who live in a rural area were selected and 70 identified as a "dog person." Find the 99% confidence interval for the difference in the proportion of people that live in a city who identify as a "dog person" and the proportion of people that live in a rural area who identify as a "dog person." Round answers to to 4 decimal places. < P1 P2 <

Suppose a new treatment for a certain disease is given to a sample of 180 patients. The treatment was successful for 153of the patients. Assume that these patients are representative of the population of individuals who have this disease. Calculate a 98% confidence interval for the proportion successfully treated. (Round the answers to three decimal places.)

According to a Field Poll, 263 out of 569 of California adults feel that "education and our schools" is one of the top issues facing California. We wish to construct a 90% confidence interval for the true proportion of California adults who feel that education and the schools is one of the top issues facing California. The error bound is ___________  rounded to 4 decimal places.
