Please include steps 7. In a survey of n=550 randomly selected individuals, X=260 felt that Ronald Reagan spent too much time away from Washington. Find a 92% confidence interval for the proportion

Solutions

Expert Solution

1)Level of Significance,   α =    0.08          

2)

Number of Items of Interest,   x =   260          
Sample Size,   n =    550          
                  
Sample Proportion ,    p̂ = x/n =    0.4727          

3)z -value =   Zα/2 =    1.960   [excel formula =NORMSINV(α/2)]      
                  
4) Standard Error ,    SE = √[p̂(1-p̂)/n] =    0.021288          
5) margin of error , E = Z*SE =    1.960   *   0.02129   =   0.0373
                  
92%   Confidence Interval is              
6) Interval Lower Limit = p̂ - E =    0.47273   -   0.03727   =   0.435
7) Interval Upper Limit = p̂ + E =   0.47273   +   0.03727   =   0.510
                  
92%   confidence interval is (   0.4355   < p <    0.5100   )

A sample of n=28 individuals is randomly selected from a population with a mean of µ= 63, and a treatment is administered to the individuals in the sample. After treatment, the sample mean is found to be M=68. a. If the sample variance = 96, are the data sufficient to reject the null and conclude that the treatment has a significant effect using a two-tailed test with alpha = .05?
