Select either the Republican or Democratic Party then use the survey result to give a 90% , 95% and 99% confidence interval for the percent of Americans who view the party you selected favorably.

a) 90% confidence interval

Margin of error Interval

b) 95% confidence interval

Margin of error Interval

c) 99% confidence interval

2. According to a Gallup poll conducted in 2008, 78.3% of Americans felt satisfied with the way things were going in their personal lives. A researcher wonders of the percentage satisfied is lower today. To find out, the researcher surveys a random sample of 1,173 Americans, and finds that 895 feel satisfied with the way things are going in their personal lives. The researcher wishes to test the null hypothesis at a significance level of 0.05. (a) Conduct a large...
