When asked, "Do kids regularly carry weapons in your school?" 14,250 students said yes, and 115,339 students said no. With a 95% level of confidence, find the margin of error (MOE) associated with the sample proportions. (Give the answer to one decimal place, if needed.)
Homework Answers
Given : n=115339 , X=14250
The sample proportion is , p=X/n=14250/115339=0.1235
q=1-p=1-0.1235=0.8765
Now , 
; From standard normal distribution table
Therefore , the margin of error (MOE) associated with the sample proportions ia ,

A sample of college students was asked whether they would return the money if they found a wallet on the street. Of the 93 women, 84 said "yes," and of the 75 men, 47 said "yes." Assume that these students represent all college students. (a) Find separate approximate 95% confidence intervals for the proportions of college women and college men who would say "yes" to this question. (Round the answers to three decimal places.) for women for men (b) Find...

Suppose a poll conducted at a certain college during their most recent spring semester asked 695 college students whether or not a privately owned dining hall should be allowed on campus. The response "Yes, it should" was selected by 38% of the respondents.

American women is 139 ± 1.4 pounds. (7 points total) a. When asked to interpret this confidence interval, a student says, “95% of all adult American women would say that their ideal weight is between 137.6 and 140.4 pounds.” Is the student correct? (yes or no) (2 points) b. Another student interprets the confidence interval this way: “We can be 95% confident that future samples of adult American women will say that their mean ideal weight is between 137.6 and...
