Review - Prob/Stats

A recent study of 750 Internet users in Europe found that 35% of Internet users were women.  What is the 95% confidence interval of the true proportion of women in Europe who use the Internet? 

• 0.321 < p < 0.379
• 0.316 < p < 0.384
• 0.309 < p < 0.391
• 0.305 < p < 0.395

In a survey of 104 students, it was found that 79 went to the homecoming game this year.

A 99% confidence interval for p is (0.652, 0.868). Interpret this interval.

• 99% of the time the true proportion of people who went to the homecoming game this year is between 65.2% and 86.6%.

• The probability that the population proportion of people who went to the homecoming game this year is between 65.2% and 86.6% is 95%.

• Based on this sample, I am 99% confident that the true proportion of people who went to the homecoming game this year is between 65.2% and 86.6%.

• 99% of all possible intervals calculated this way will capture the true proportion of people who went to the homecoming game this year
