Calculate and Interpret the Confidence Interval for a Population Proportion Question Suppose 260 randomly selected people are surveyed to determine whether or not they took a college entrance exam. Of the 260 surveyed, 205 reported taking a college entrance exam. Identify the values needed to calculate a confidence interval at the 95% confidence level. Then find the confidence interval. z0.10 | z0.05 | z0.025 | z0.01 | z0.005 1.282 | 1.645 | 1.960 | 2.326 | 2.576 Use the table of common z-scores above. • Round the final answer to three decimal places.

Use the given degree of confidence and sample data to construct a confidence interval for the population mean μ. Assume that the population has a normal distribution. Thirty randomly selected students took the calculus final. If the sample mean was 81 and the standard deviation was 10.2, construct a 99% confidence interval for the mean score of all students. Round to two decimal places. A. 75.87 < μ < 86.13 B. 76.42 < μ < 85.59 C. 75.89 < μ < 86.11 D. 77.84 < μ < 84.16

Use the given degree of confidence and sample data to construct a confidence interval for the population proportion p. Of 88 adults selected randomly from one town, 69 have health insurance. Find a 90% confidence interval for the true proportion of all adults in the town who have health insurance. 0.682 < p < 0.886 0.698 < p < 0.870 0.671 < p < 0.897 0.712 < p < 0.856 Find the indicated critical z value. Find the value of -z_{alpha/2} that corresponds to a confidence level of 89.48%. 1.62 -1.25 0.0526 -1.62

Construct the appropriate confidence interval. A simple random sample of size $n=210$ is drawn from a population. The sample mean is found to be $\bar{x}=20.1$ and the sample standard deviation is found to be $s=3.2$ Construct a $90 \%$ confidence interval about the population mean.
