For any confidence interval make sure that you interpret the interval in context, in addition to using it for inference.

A survey is given to 300 random SCSU students to determine their opinion of being a “Tobacco Free Campus.” Of the 300 students surveyed, 228 were in favor a tobacco free campus.

  1. Find a 95% confidence interval for the proportion of all SCSU students in favor of a tobacco free campus.
  2. Interpret the interval in part a.
  3. Find the error bound of the interval in part a.
  4. The Dean claims that at least 70% of all students are in favor of a tobacco free campus. Can you support the Dean’s claim at the 95% confidence level? Justify!

For this project you will estimate parameters using confidence intervals. For each confidence interval, make sure you report   The confidence interval limits rounded as directed (Use StatCrunch to find all confidence interval limits. Use Stat>Proportion Stats to find confidence interval limits for proportions. Use Stat>T Stats to find confidence interval limits for means.) Refer to the resources on the course home page for more information about confidence intervals and how to find them using StatCrunch. An interpretation of the confidence...
