A magazine reported the results of a random telephone poll commissioned by a television network. Of the 1144 men who responded, only 32 said that their most important measure of success was their work. Complete parts a through c. a right parenthesis Estimate the percentage of all males who measure success primarily from their work. Use a 95% confidence interval. Don't forget to check the conditions first.

sample proportion, = 0.028
sample size, n = 1144
Standard error, SE = sqrt(pcap * (1 - pcap)/n)
SE = sqrt(0.028 * (1 - 0.028)/1144) = 0.0049

Given CI level is 95%, hence α = 1 - 0.95 = 0.05
α/2 = 0.05/2 = 0.025, Zc = Z(α/2) = 1.96

Margin of Error, ME = zc * SE
ME = 1.96 * 0.0049
ME = 0.01

CI = (pcap - z*SE, pcap + z*SE)
CI = (0.028 - 1.96 * 0.0049 , 0.028 + 1.96 * 0.0049)
CI = (0.0184 , 0.0376)
Therefore, based on the data provided, the 95% confidence interval for the population proportion is 0.0184 < p < 0.0376 , which indicates that we are 95% confident that the true population proportion p is contained by the interval (0.0184 , 0.0376)

Time magazine reported the result of a telephone poll of 800 adult Americans. The question posed of the Americans who were surveyed was: "Should the federal tax on cigarettes be raised to pay for health care reform?" The results of the survey were: Smokers: n = 605, 351 said yes. non smokers: n=195, 41 said yes Is there sufficient evidence at the α = 0.05 level, say, to conclude that the two populations — smokers and non-smokers — differ significantly...

A researcher reported the results of a telephone poll of 1000 adult Americans. The question posed of those who were surveyed was: "Should the federal tax on cigarettes be raised to pay for health care reform?" Of 600 non-smokers, 362 said yes. Of 400 smokers, 80 said yes. What is the test statistic, at alpha = .05, if you want to determine that the proportion of non-smokers who said yes is greater than the proportion of smokers who said yes?

A national television network took an exit poll of 1460 voters after each had cast a vote in a state gubernatorial election. Of them, 680 said they voted for the RepublicanRepublican candidate and 780 said they voted for the DemocraticDemocratic candidate. Treating the sample as a random sample from the population of all voters, a 95% confidence interval for the proportion of all voters voting for the DemocraticDemocratic candidate was (0.509, 0.560). Suppose the same proportions resulted from n=146146 (instead...
