A simple random sample of 82 students is taken from a large university on the West Coast to estimate the proportion of students whose parents bought a car for them when they left for college. When interviewed, 54 students in the sample responded that their parents bought them a car. What is a 95% confidence interval for p, the population proportion of students whose parents bought a car for them when they left for college?

A simple random sample of 40 students is taken at a community college. Of those, 25 are females. Use the proportion of females in the sample to construct a 95% confidence interval for the proportion of females enrolled on the campus (the population). Round your boundaries to two decimal places (for example(0.25, 0.35)).

A survey of 300 students is selected randomly on a large university campus. They are asked if they usea laptop in class to take notes. Suppose that based on the survey, 135 of the 300 students responded "yes." a) What is the value of the sample proportion p? b) What is the standard error of the sample proportion? c) Construct an approximate 95% confidence interval for the true proportion p by taking 2 SEs from the sample proportion. a) p...

A random sample of 225 full time students at a large two-year college is taken to estimate the amount they spent on text books this semester. The sampled students spent an average of $200 with a standard deviation of $75. Thus, a 95% confidence interval for the average amount spent by all full time students at that school would be: Group of answer choices $200 ± $0.33 $200 ± $5 $200 ± $10 $200 ± $75

In a random sample of 325 students at a university, 266 stated that they were nonsmokers. Based on this sample, compute a 95% confidence interval for the proportion of all students at the university who are nonsmokers. Then complete the table below. Carry your intermediate computations to at least three decimal places. Round your answers to two decimal places. What is the lower limit of the 95% confidence interval? What is the upper limit of the 95% confidence interval?

2. Suppose that a random sample of 41 state college students is asked to measure the length of their right foot in centimeters. A 90% confidence interval for the mean foot length for students at this university turns out to be (21.709, 25.091). If we now calculated a 95% confidence interval, would the new confidence interval be wider than or narrower than or the same as the original? b. Suppose two researchers want to estimate the proportion of American college...
