Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

First calculate the mean and standard deviation for each of the six data sets that are given and after that calculate the 95% confidence interval for each set of data.

Concept introduction:

95% of confidence interval can be calculated as follows when s is a good estimate of σ - CI=x¯±zσN

Where

x¯= Mean.

z= Function of quantity.

N= Degree of freedom

CI= Confidence interval.

In a survey of 1000 large corporations, 250 said that, given a choice between a job candidate who smokes and an equally qualified nonsmoker, the nonsmoker would get the job (USA Today).(a) Let p represent the proportion of all corporations preferring a nonsmoking candidate. Find a point estimate for p.(b) Find a 0.95 confidence interval for p.(c) As a news writer, how would you report the survey results regarding the proportion of corporations that hire the equally qualified nonsmoker? What is the margin of error based on a 95% confidence interval?
