Finding the sample size: Polls are to be conducted in two cities to determine the difference in the proportions of residents who believe that the economy will improve over the next year. A 98% confidence interval will be constructed for the difference between the proportions. If the sample sizes are to be equal in the two cities, how large should each sample be so that the margin of error will be no more than 0.10? Round up your answer to the nearest whole number. Each sample should contain a minimum of residents.

Through polling, it was estimated that the percent of people who will vote for a particular candidate in an upcoming election is 36.2%. If the margin of error is 3.5, give the confidence interval for the percentage of people who will vote for the candidate in the upcoming election.% to %

Siblings Mary and David are each attempting to estimate the proportion of families in their neighborhood who have five or more children. Mary selects a random sample of 50 families to survey, and she observes a sample proportion of 0.10. David selects a random sample of 100 families to survey, and he also observes a sample proportion of 0.10. Mary and David each use their sample data to construct a 95% confidence interval. Who will have the more narrow confidence interval? A. Both intervals will have the same width since the sample proportions are the same. B. Both intervals will have the same width since the level of confidence is the same for each interval. C. Both intervals will have the same width since the sample proportions are the same and the level of confidence is the same for each interval. D. Mary's interval will be more narrow than David's interval. E. David's interval will be more narrow than Mary's interval.

Debbie and Ethan are going to construct confidence intervals from the same simple random sample.  Debbie's confidence interval will have a 98% confidence interval and Ethan's will have a 95% confidence interval. A. Which confidence interval, if there is a difference will have a larger margin of error? B. Which confidence interval is more likely to cover the population mean, if there is a difference   I am using a Ti84 and need to know how to get the answer.

Name: Statistics 1. An investigative reporter contacts a random sample of hotels, and finds a 95% confidence interval for the proportion of hotels in the United States that have reported having bedbugs is (0.04, 0.11). a. Interpret this confidence interval in context. F3 80 b. A national hospitality organization had reported that only 5% of hotels have experienced problems with bedbugs. Does this reporter have compelling evidence that the true proportion is really higher? Explain. c. How could the reporter estimate this proportion with a smaller margin of error? a. Identify the parameter, p, 2. To estimate how often someone runs a red light in Cyber City, a student watched traffic for a while at several randomly selected intersections.
