You collect a random sample of size n from a population and calculate a 95% confidence
with an increased margin of error?
O Use a 98% confidence level.
O Use a 90% confidence level.
O increase the sample size.
O Use the same confidence level, but compute the interval n times. Approximately 5% 0
© Nothing can guarantee that you will obtain a larger margin of error. You can only say
In a recent telephone survey, 5,000 randomly selected teenagers were asked to cite their primary social network site. Six of 10 teenagers said they use Mybook as
their primary social network site. A 95% confidence interval to estimate the true proportion of teenagers who use Mybook as their primary social network site is found to
be (0.2964, 0.9036). Which of the following is a correct interpretation of the confidence level?
O Ninety-five percent of all samples of this size would yield a confidence interval of (0.2964, 0.9036).
O There is a 95% chance that the true proportion of teenagers who use Mybook as their primary social network site is in the interval (0.2964, 0.9036).
O Ninety-five percent of the time, the procedure used to generate this interval will capture the true proportion of teenagers who use Mybook as their primary
social network site
O Ninety-five percent of all the samples of size 5,000 lie in the confidence interval (0.2964, 0.9036).
O There is a 95% chance that randomly selected teenagers will be part of the 60% who use Mybook as their primary social network site.

Leon wants to estimate the proportion of the seniors at his high school who like to watch football. He interviews a simple random sample of 50 of the 200 seniors on
campus. He finds that 32 like to watch football. Is the random condition for finding confidence intervals met? Explain.
O Yes, the random condition for finding confidence intervals is met because np = 32 and n(1 - P) = 18, both of which are greater than 10
O Yes, the random condition for finding confidence intervals is met because the sample size is greater than 30.
O No, the random condition for finding confidence intervals is not met because np = 32 and n(1 - p) = 18, both of which are less than 100
O No, the random condition for finding confidence intervals is not met because the sample is not at least 50% of the population
O Yes, the random condition for finding confidence intervals is met because the sample is a simple random sample.
Cilantro tastes like soap to some people. This soap taste is inherited through the olfactory receptor gene OR6A2. About 14% of the population has this gene. You wa
to estimate the proportion of Americans who have this gene. How large a sample must you test, with a 3% margin of error and 95% confidence, to estimate the
proportion of people who carry the OR6A2 gene?
O 514 people
O 134 people
O 17.689 people
O 35 people

The faculty members at McAdenville High School want to determine whether there are enough students to have a Winter Formal. Sixty-three of the 150 students
surveyed said they would attend the Winter Formal. Construct and interpret a 99% confidence interval for p.
O The 99% confidence interval is (0.3162, 0.5238). We are 99% confident the true proportion of students attending the Winter Formal is between 31 62% and
52.38%.
© The 99% confidence interval is (0.3162, 0.5238). There is a 99% chance that a randomly selected student who will attend the Winter Formal lies between
31.62% and 52.38%
O The 99% confidence interval is (0.3162, 0.5238). Ninety-nine percent of all samples of this size will yield a confidence interval of (0.3162, 0.5238).
O The 99% confidence interval is (0.4762, 0.6838). We are 99% confident that the true proportion of students attending the Winter Formal is between 47 62%
and 68.38%
O The 99% confidence interval is (0. 4762, 0.6838). Ninety-nine percent of all samples of this size will yield a confidence interval of (0.4762, 0.6838)
