A.   117
B.   114
C.   116
D.   115
Question #3
Construct the indicated confidence interval for the difference between population proportions p1−p2. Assume that the samples are independent and that they have been randomly selected. x1= 22, n1= 38 and x2= 31, n2= 52; Construct a 90% confidence interval for the difference between population proportions p1−p2.
A.   0.406 < p1 -p2 < 0.752
B.   0.785 < p1 - p2 < 0.373
C.   -0.190 < p1 - p2 < 0.156
D.   0.373 < p1 - p2 < 0.785
Question #4
Construct the indicated confidence interval for the difference between population proportions p1−p2. Assume that the samples are independent and that they have been randomly selected. x1= 36, n1= 64 and x2= 47, n2= 71; Construct a 95% confidence interval for the difference between population proportions p1−p2.
A.   -0.263 < p1 -p2 < 0.064
B.   -0.294 < p1 -p2 < 0.757
C.   0.399 < p1 -p2 < 0.726
D.   0.368 < p1 -p2 < 0.757
Question #5
Construct the indicated confidence interval for the difference between population proportions p1−p2. Assume that the samples are independent and that they have been randomly selected. A marketing survey involves product recognition in New York and California. Of 558 New Yorkers surveyed, 193 knew the product while 196 out of 614 Californians knew the product. Construct a 99% confidence interval for the difference between the two population proportions.
A.   0.0247 < p1 - p2 < 0.0286
B.   -0.0443 <p1 - p2 < 0.0976
C.   -0.0034 < p1 - p2 < 0.0566
D.   -0.0177 < p1 - p2 < 0.1243
Question #6
Construct the indicated confidence interval for the difference between population proportions  p1−p2.  Assume that the samples are independent and that they have been randomly selected. In a random sample of 300 women, 49% favored stricter gun control legislation. In a random sample of 200 men, 28% favored stricter gun control legislation. Construct a 98% confidence interval for the difference between the population proportions p1−p2.
A.   0.126 < p1 - p2 < 0.294
B.   0.110 < p1 - p2 < 0.310
C.   0.099 < p1 - p2 < 0.321
D.   0.122 < p1 - p2 < 0.298
