A Population Proportion · Exercise 46
A national survey of 1,000 adults was conducted by Rasmussen Reports. It concluded with 95% confidence that 49% to 55% of Americans believe that big-time college sports programs corrupt the process of higher education.
(a) Find the point estimate and the error bound for this confidence interval.
(b) Can we (with 95% confidence) conclude that more than half of all American adults believe this?
(c) Use the point estimate from part a and n = 1,000 to calculate a 75% confidence interval for the proportion of American adults that believe that major college sports programs corrupt higher education.
(d) Can we (with 75% confidence) conclude that at least half of all American adults believe this?
