Calculate a ""Plus-Four"" Confidence Interval for a Population Proportion Question In a recent survey of US adults, 36 people were asked whether they need corrective lenses (glasses or contact lenses). Of those surveyed, 27 responded that they do need corrective lenses. Use the ""plus-four"" method and the table below to find a 99% confidence interval for the true proportion of US adults who need corrective lenses. $z_{0.10}$ $z_{0.05}$ $z_{0.025}$ $z_{0.01}$ $z_{0.005}$ 1.282 1.645 1.960 2.326 2.576 Round to three decimal places, if necessary. Provide your answer below:

Constructing a Confidence Interval for a Population Proportion We wish to estimate what percent of adult residents in a certain county are parents. Out of 300 adult residents sampled, 18 had kids. Based on this, construct a 95% confidence interval for the proportion ̀̑ of adult residents who are parents in this county. Provide the interval estimate in the form: Sample Proportion ± Margin of Error Give your answers as decimals, rounded to three places.

Find the necessary confidence interval for a population mean for the following values. (Round your answers to three decimal places.) a 90% confidence interval, n = 80, x = 28.3, s^2 = 3.25 Interpret the interval that you have constructed. There is a 90% probability that the population mean is within the interval. We are 90% confident that the sample mean is within the interval. We are 90% confident that the population mean is within the interval. We know that 90% of the population is within the interval. There is a 90% probability that the sample mean is within the interval. You may need to use the appropriate appendix table or technology to answer this question.
