Question
Looking at a poll, 74% of California adults (374 out of 506 surveyed) believe that education is one of the top issues facing California. We want to construct a 90% confidence interval for the true proportion of California adults who believe that education is one of the top issues facing California.
How do I find the error bound? (note:I must round answer to three decimal places)

- Suppose that a health expert has claimed that 28% of college students smoke cigarettes. To investigate this claim, researchers survey a random sample of college students. Using this sample, a 95% confidence interval for the percentage of college students who smoke is found to be 19% to 24%. On the basis of this interval, explain whether the claim that 28% of all college students smoke is reasonable or not. You may need to use the appropriate table in the Appendix of Tables to answer this question. a) The claim of 28% is reasonable because the value 28% is not in the confidence interval. b) The claim of 28% is not reasonable because the value 28% is in the confidence interval. c) The claim of 28% is not reasonable because the value 28% is not in the confidence interval. d) The claim of 28% is reasonable because the value 28% is in the confidence interval.arrow_forwardA New York Times article reported that a survey conducted in 2014 included 36,000 adults, with 3.72% of them being regular users of e-cigarettes. Because e-cigarette use is relatively new, there is a need to obtain today's usage rate. How many adults must be surveyed now if a confidence level of 95% and a margin of error of 1 percentage point are wanted?

- Many people now turn to the internet to get information on health-related topics. A research article used Flesch reading ease scores (a measure of reading difficulty based on factors such as sentence length and number of syllables in the words used) to score pages on Wikipedia and on WebMD. Higher Flesch scores correspond to more difficult reading levels. The paper reported that for a representative sample of health-related pages on Wikipedia, the mean Flesch score was 26.3 and the standard deviation of the Flesch scores was 14.3. For a representative sample of pages from WebMD, the mean score was 43.3 and the standard deviation was 19.6. Suppose that these means and standard deviations were based on samples of 40 pages from each site. Is there convincing evidence that the mean reading level for health-related pages differs for Wikipedia and WebMD? Test the relevant hypotheses using a significance level of 0.05. (Use ₁ for Wikipedia and #₂ for WebMD.)
