A sample selected from a population gave a sample proportion equal to 0.59. Round your answers to three decimal places. a. Make a 97% confidence interval for $p$ assuming $n = 175$. ( ) b. Construct a 97% confidence interval for $p$ assuming $n = 550$. ( ) c. Make a 97% confidence interval for $p$ assuming $n = 1400$. ( ) d. Does the width of the confidence intervals constructed in parts a through c decrease as the sample size increases?

A random sample selected from a population gave a sample proportion equal to .73. a. Make a 99% confidence interval for p assuming n = 100. b. Construct a 99% confidence interval for p assuming n = 600. c. Make a 99% confidence interval for p assuming n = 1500. d. Does the width of the confidence intervals constructed in parts a through c decrease as the sample size increases? If yes, explain why.

A sample selected from a population gave a sample proportion equal to .31. a. Make a 95% confidence interval for p assuming n = 1200. b. Construct a 95% confidence interval for p assuming n = 500. c. Make a 95% confidence interval for p assuming n = 80. d. Does the width of the confidence intervals constructed in parts a through c increase as the sample size decreases? If yes, explain why.

The random sample shown below was selected from a normal distribution: 9, 5, 4, 3, 8, 7 Complete parts a and b. a) Construct a 95% confidence interval for the population mean. 3.52, 8.48 (Round to two decimal places as needed) b) Assume that the sample mean and sample standard deviation remain exactly the same as those you just calculated, but are based on a sample of n = 25 observations. Repeat part a. What is the effect of increasing the sample size on the width of the confidence intervals? The confidence interval is (Round to two decimal places as needed)
