Question
Fewer young people are driving. In 1983, 87% of 19-year-olds had a driver’s license.
Twenty-five years later that percentage had dropped to 75% (University of Michigan
Transportation Research Institute website, April 7, 2012). Suppose these results are based
on a random sample of 1200 19-year-olds in 1983 and again in 2008.
a. At 95% confidence, what is the margin of error and the
of 19-year-old drivers in 1983?
b. At 95% confidence, what is the margin of error and the interval estimate of the number
of 19-year-old drivers in 2008?
c. Is the margin of error the same in parts (a) and (b)? Why or why not?

- The mean number of sick days an employee takes per year is believed to be about ten. Members of a personnel department do not believe this figure. They randomly survey eight employees. The number of sick days they took for the past year are as follows: 12; 4; 15; 3; 11; 8; 6; 8. Let x = the number of sick days they took for the past year. Construct a 95% confidence interval for the true mean or proportion. Round to the nearest hundredth (2 decimal places).arrow_forwardA researcher surveyed college students in the United States on the typical amount of time each day that they spend interacting with different types of media (television, social media, Internet-connected devices, game consoles, etc.) The researcher found that the mean amount of time that college students spent watching television each day is 135 minutes with a 95% confidence interval of (105, 165). a. State the conclusion the researcher can make from this confidence interval. b. What is the margin of error for the confidence interval?arrow_forwardThe following sample data are from a normal population: 10,9,12,14,13,11,6,5 c.

Construct a 99% confidence interval for the average body temperature ofhealthy people.arrow_forwardIt is calculated that, in order to estimate the true mean amount of money spent on textbooks this semester by U of M students to within $40 with 99% confidence, we need a sample of 100 students. What sample size would be required to estimate the true mean amount of money spent on textbooks to within $10 with 99% confidence?arrow_forward5. A researcher constructed a 95% confidence interval for the true mean number of years students take to earn a bachelor's degree. His results were (4.319, 4.841). a. What is the point estimate for the average number of years to complete a bachelor's degree? b. Does his interval support or contradict the widely held belief that it takes 4 years to complete a bachelor's degree? Why or why not?arrow_forward
