Question

Transcribed Image Text:Use the sample data and confidence level given below to complete parts (a) through (d).
K
A drug is used to help prevent blood clots in certain patients. In clinical trials, among 4476 patients treated with the
drug, 190 developed the adverse reaction of nausea. Construct a 95% confidence interval for the proportion of adverse
reactions.
(Round to three decimal places as needed.)
d) Write a statement that correctly interprets the confidence interval. Choose the correct answer below.
OA. There is a 95% chance that the true value of the population proportion will fall between the lower bound and the
upper bound.
OB. 95% of sample proportions will fall between the lower bound and the upper bound.
OC. One has 95% confidence that the interval from the lower bound to the upper bound actually does contain the
true value of the population proportion.
OD. One has 95% confidence that the sample proportion is equal to the population proportion.

- According to recent data by the American Marketing Association, 76.5%of people in the 18-24 age group used social media in 2017. You want to find out what the social media proportion is among your classmates who are all between 18 and 24 years old. Suppose you obtain a random sample of 229 students and find that 202 students in this sample are active social media users. Complete parts a through c below. a. Construct a 99% confidence interval to estimate the actual proportion of social media users. A 99% confidence interval to estimate the actual proportion has a lower limit of------ and an upper limit of------- (Round to three decimal places as needed.) b.
