Suppose randomly selected people are surveyed to determine if they own a tablet. Of the surveyed, reported owning a tablet. Using a% confidence level, compute a confidence interval estimate for the true proportion of people who own tablets
Why would the error bound change if the confidence level were lowered to?
Using the same p′ and level of confidence, suppose that n were increased to 100. Would the error bound become larger
or smaller? How do you know?
The mean age for all Foothill College students for a recent Fall term was . The population standard deviation has been pretty consistent at . Suppose that twenty-five Winter students were randomly selected. The mean age for the sample was . We are interested in the true mean age for Winter Foothill College students. Let the age of a Winter Foothill College student.
