- You are interested in constructing a 90% confidence interval for the proportion of all caterpillars that eventually become butterflies. Of the 377 randomly selected caterpillars observed, 42 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 377 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_forwardIf we find a 95% confidence interval using a sample, then we can say... 95% of individuals will fall on that interval there is a 5% chance the population proportion is NOT on the interval. 95% of our samples will fall on that interval. No answer text provided.arrow_forwardYou are estimating how much population A's proportion of answering yes to a question exceeds population B's proportion who say yes to the same question by using a confidence interval. You have some ability to control the width of your interval. Which of the following would be most likely to ensure that the confidence interval is narrowed? O a. You increase both sample sizes and you decrease your confidence level. O b. You increase both sample sizes and you increase your confidence level. OC. You decrease both sample sizes and you increase your confidence level. O d. You decrease both sample sizes and you decrease your confidence level.arrow_forward

- You create a 95% confidence interval for the proportion of a population. The confidence interval does not contain 0.10. This means that Group of answer choices a.You have evidence to conclude that the population proportion is equal to 0.10. b.You do not have evidence to conclude that the population proportion is equal to 0.10. c.You have evidence to conclude that the population proportion is not equal to 0.10. d.You do not have evidence to conclude that the population proportion is not equal to 0.10. e.The answer cannot be determined with the information given.arrow_forwardWhen constructing a 90% confidence interval around a sample mean, how many samples out of 100 would you expect to not include the true population mean within their confidence intervals? a. 5 b. 1 c. 0 d. 10arrow_forwardSiblings 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.arrow_forward
