According to a report by the PEW Research Center, 85% of adults under 30 feel optimistic about the economy, but the optimism is shared by only 45% of those who are over 50 (Newsweek, September 13, 2010). A research analyst would like to construct 95% confidence intervals for the proportion patterns in various regions of the country. She uses the reported rates by the PEW Research Center to determine the sample size that would restrict the margin of error to...

According to a recent Gallup poll, only 294 out of 1014 adults working full time strongly agree that their performance reviews are fair. A) Based on this finding, what is the best point estimate (in percentage form) for the true estimate of adults working full time that strongly agree that their performance reviews are fair? B) Find the margin of error for this poll assuming 95% confidence (using normal approximation). Carry to four decimal places. C) What is the 95%...
In a sample of n= 11 lichen specimens, the researchers found the mean and standard deviation of the amount of the radioactive element, cesium- 137, that was present to be 0.009 and 0.003 microcurie per milliliter, respectively. Suppose the researchers want to increase the sample size in order to estimate the mean μ to within 0.002 microcurie per milliliter of its true value, using a 95% confidence interval. Complete parts a through c. a. What is the confidence level desired...
8. value: 10.00 points An experiment was conducted to determine the effectiveness of a method designed to remove oil wastes found in soil. Three contaminated soil samples were treated. After 95 days, the percentage of contamination removed from each soil sample was measured, with a mean of 49.3 percent and a standard deviation of 1.5 percent. If we wished to narrow the boundary around u for a 98 percent confidence interval to within 0.5 percent, how many soil samples should...
