How much area is in both tails (combined)?
132. Public Policy Polling recently conducted a survey asking adults across the U.S. about music preferences. When asked, of the participants admitted that they have illegally downloaded music.
a. Create a confidence interval for the true proportion of American adults who have illegally downloaded music.
b. This survey was conducted through automated telephone interviews on May 6 and 7,2013. The error bound of the survey compensates for sampling error or natural variability among samples. List some factors that could affect the survey's outcome that is not covered by the margin of error.
c. Without performing any calculations, describe how the confidence interval would change if the confidence level changed from .
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.
Construct a Confidence Interval for the true mean age of Winter Foothill College students.
