- You are interested in constructing a 90% confidence interval for the proportion of all caterpillars that eventually become butterflies. Of the 371 randomly selected caterpillars observed, 49 lived to become butterflies. Round answers to 4 decimal places where possible. With 90% confidence the proportion of all caterpillars that lived to become a butterfly is between ____ and ____ If many groups of 371 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_forwardTwo intervals are given, A and B, for the same value of the explanatory variable.

The variability of the data was larger, or the investigator wanted to be more confident. C.) The investigator wanted to be more confident of their results, or there was more information. D.) The variability of the data was small, or the sample mean was larger. E.) None of the above.arrow_forwardSuppose 500 different researchers all randomly select samples of n = 300 individuals from a population.
