Question
In order to estimate the proportion of entering students who graduate within six years, the administration at a state university examined the records of 400 randomly selected students who entered the university six years ago, and found that 232 had graduated. Construct a 95% confidence interval for the population proportion of students who graduate within six years.

Of interest is to estimate the mean delay time for the 22.6% of all flights that did not arrive on time during 2013. A simple random sample of 28 late arriving flights was selected, and the mean delay time of this sample of 28 flights was 14.2 minutes, with a sample standard deviation of s= 6.4 minutes. Use this information to calculate and interpret a 98% confidence interval for the mean delay time for all flights that did not arrive on time during 2013.arrow_forwardif n = 42, p = 0.6 then construct the 98% confidence interval for the population proportion.arrow_forward

- The dataset "nurses" is a random sample of 1,000 cases from “Health Care Provider Credential Data” from Washington State Open Data Portal. In the sample, there are 418 CNA's and 278 of the CNA's have expired credentials. Use the statistics from the nurses dataset to answer the following question: "With 90% confidence, what percent of all CNA's on Washington State's healthcare provider list are expired?"arrow_forwardA national research group reported that 36% of 18-24 year olds watch a cable news channel regularly. The director of media relations at a large university wanted to know what proportion of students at her university who watch a cable news channel regularly. If it is less than 36%, then she will unsubscribe to the news channels. She sampled 200 random students and found that 63 watched cable news regularly. Should she conclude that proportion of students at her university who watch cable news regularly is less than 36% at the 8% significance level?
