The following summary of a statistical study gives a sample statistic and a margin of error. Find the confidence interval and answer any additional questions. A poll is conducted the day before a state election for senator. There are only two candidates running for this office. The poll results show that 55% of the voters favor the Republican candidate. with a margin of error of 3 percentage points. Should the Republican expect to win? Why or why not? %. The confidence interval is from % to (Simplify your answers. Use ascending order.)

Tina catches a 14-pound bass.  She does not know the population mean or standard deviation.  So she takes a sample of five friends and they say the last bass they caught was 9, 12, 13, 10, and 10 pounds.  Find the t and calculate a 95% (α = .05) confidence interval.

Construct a 95% confidence interval for p1 - p2 for a survey that finds 30% of 240 males and 41% of 200 females are opposed to the death penalty. Group of answer choices a.(-0.200, -0.021) b.(-1.532, 1.342) c.(-1.324, 1.512) d.(-0.561, 0.651)

A magazine provided results from a poll of 1500 adults who were asked to identify their favorite pie. Among the 1500 respondents, 13% chose chocolate pie, and the margin of error was given as +3 percentage points. What values do p, q, n, E, and p represent? If the confidence level is 95%, what is the value of a? The value of p is The value of a is The value of n is The value of E is The value of p is

A new fertilizer was applied to the soil of 276 bean plants. 24% showed increased growth. Find the margin of error and 95% confidence interval for the percentage of all bean plants which show increased growth after application of the fertilizer. Round all answers to 2 decimal places. Margin of Error (as a percentage): Confidence Interval: % to

A political scientist claims that 38% of first-year college students characterize themselves as being “moderate” or “middle of the road” as far as their political affiliation is concerned.   Believing this claimed value is too high, you survey a random sample of 400 first-year college students and find that 120 characterize themselves as being “moderate” or “middle of the road.”    Based on this information, what will the test statistic be? Choose the answer below that is closest to what you calculate, and try not to do a lot of rounding until you get to the very end of your calculations.   1. -0.3 2. -1.2 3. -2.6 4. -3.3 5. None of the other answer options are correct because the test statistic should be positive, not negative.

Statistics students surveyed 135 students at Tallahassee Community College. From their data we are 95% confident that between 44.7% and 61.9% of all TCC students are female. The students realize that this interval contains a large margin of error. What can they do to make a narrower interval? 1. Survey more students.   2. Use a 99% confidence level.   3. Survey more students and use a 99% confidence interval.   4. None of the other choices.

A political researcher takes a survey of 310 randomly selected registered voters in Orlando, and each person was asked who they plan on voting for in the 2024 presidential election. 110 said they plan on voting for Candidate A, 185 said they plan on voting for Candidate B, and 15 were unsure or plan to vote for another candidate. The researcher wants to construct a 95% confidence interval for the proportion of all registered voters in Orlando who plan to vote for Candidate B. What is the point estimate? Round final answer to 3 decimal places.

Name: Statistics 1. An investigative reporter contacts a random sample of hotels, and finds a 95% confidence interval for the proportion of hotels in the United States that have reported having bedbugs is (0.04, 0.11). a. Interpret this confidence interval in context. F3 80 b. A national hospitality organization had reported that only 5% of hotels have experienced problems with bedbugs. Does this reporter have compelling evidence that the true proportion is really higher? Explain. c. How could the reporter estimate this proportion with a smaller margin of error? a. Identify the parameter, p, 2. To estimate how often someone runs a red light in Cyber City, a student watched traffic for a while at several randomly selected intersections.
