If, instead of constructing a 95% confidence interval, the physician constructed a 90% confidence interval, would the 90% interval be wider, narrower, or the same width as the 95% interval?

• Wider

• The same width

• Larger

• Narrower

Identify the conditions that must be met to use this procedure.

• Random, less than 10% of population, large counts

• Non-random, less than 10% of population, small counts

• Random, more than 50% of population, small counts

• Non-random, more than 50% of population, large counts

Find the appropriate critical value and standard error of the sample proportion.

• z* = 1.645, SE = 0.0357

• z* = 1.96, SE = 0.0114

• z* = 1.282, SE = 0.0598

• z* = 1.96, SE = 0.1784

Give the 95% confidence interval.

• (0.345, 0.397)

• (0.206, 0.265)

• (0.289, 0.372)

• (0.258, 0.302)
