- Now you are interested in the percent of dogs that were neutered in your sample. For 40 dogs, 30 of them were neutered. What is the LOWER limit for this confidence interval? The statistical value you will need is 1.96. Give your answer as 0.XXarrow_forwardYou are interested in constructing a 90% confidence interval for the proportion of all caterpillars that eventually become butterflies. Of the 378 randomly selected caterpillars observed, 45 lived to become butterflies. Round answers to 4 decimal places where possible. a. With 90% confidence the proportion of all caterpillars that lived to become a butterfly is between and . b. If many groups of 378 randomly selected caterpillars were observed, then a different confidence interval would be produced from each group. About percent of these confidence intervals will contain the true population proportion of caterpillars that become butterflies and about percent will not contain the true population proportion.arrow_forwardDuring the 2009 holiday season, 436 randomly sampled American adults were surveyed regarding their average spending on Black Friday. A 95% confidence interval based on this sample is ($80.31,$89.11). (c) Determine the sample mean x and the sample standard deviation s of the sample. (d) Which would be the confidence level corresponding to an interval ($81.27,$88.15) for the data found in (c)? (e) If the values of the sample mean and sample standard deviation found in (c) do not change, find the sample size N for which a 99% confidence interval would have a margin of error smaller than 5.arrow_forward
- You are interested in constructing a 95% confidence interval for the proportion of all caterpillars that eventually become butterflies. Of the 390 randomly selected caterpillars observed, 60 lived to become butterflies. Round answers to 4 decimal places where possible. a. With 95% confidence the proportion of all caterpillars that lived to become a butterfly is between and . b. If many groups of 390 randomly selected caterpillars were observed, then a different confidence interval would be produced from each group. About percent of these confidence intervals will contain the true population proportion of caterpillars that become butterflies and about percent will not contain the true population proportion.arrow_forwardIn a recent year, 6% of cars sold had a manual transmission. A random sample of college students who owned cars revealed the following: out of 124 cars, 25 had manual transmissions. Estimate the proportion of college students who drive cars with manual transmissions with 90% confidence. Round intermediate and final answers to at least three decimal places.arrow_forwardYou are interested in constructing a 99% confidence interval for the proportion of all caterpillars that eventually become butterflies.

- You are interested in constructing a 99% confidence interval for the proportion of all caterpillars that eventually become butterflies. Of the 418 randomly selected caterpillars observed, 59 lived to become butterflies. Round answers to 4 decimal places where possible. a. With 99% confidence the proportion of all caterpillars that lived to become a butterfly is between and . b. If many groups of 418 randomly selected caterpillars were observed, then a different confidence interval would be produced from each group. About percent of these confidence intervals will contain the true population proportion of caterpillars that become butterflies and about percent will not contain the true population proportion.arrow_forwardA researcher from a national reading program conducted a poll of 650 American adults over the age of 30-years-old and asked how many books they read over the past year. The researcher reported that American adults over the age of 30-years-old read a mean number of 13.5 books. The report included a margin of error of 1.25 books. (Assume 95% confidence was used.) Step 2 of 3 : Express the confidence interval mathematically. Do not round answers.arrow_forwardA random sample of 1000 NAU students in Flagstaff found 470 NAU students who drink coffee daily.
