- The dean of students at a large college is interested in learning about their opinions regarding the percentage of first-year students who should be given parking privileges in the main lot. He sends out an email survey to all students about this issue. A large number of first-year students reply but very few sophomores, juniors, and seniors reply. Based on the responses he receives, he constructs a 90% confidence interval for the true proportion of students who believe first-year students should be given parking privileges in the main lot to be (0.71, 0.79). Which of the following may have an impact on the confidence interval, but is not accounted for by the margin of error? response bias O nonresponse bias O sampling variation O undercoverage biasarrow_forwardA 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.arrow_forwardAnswer Part Barrow_forward
- 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.arrow_forwardIn a random sample of 275 people that were tested for the Norcovirus, it was found that 215 did not have the virus. A 95% confidence interval was constructed to estimate the proportion of the population that does not have the Norcovirus. This confidence interval came out to be (0.73, 0.83). Select the correct intrepretation of this interval. O We are 95% confident that the proportion of people in the sample that tested postitive for the Norcovirus is between 73% and 83%. O We are 95% confident that the proportion of people in the sample that tested negative for the Norcovirus is between 73% and 83%.
