A publishing company is interested in the number of books read each year by people. They collect a random sample of 20 people and determine the number of books that group read in the previous year. After running some simulations, the company estimates that the mean number of books read is 12.4 with a margin of error of 2.4. Based on these values, what interval is likely to contain the true mean number of books read in the previous year by the population?
Based on a survey from people in a town, the proportion of people interested in a new chain restaurant opening in their town is 0.42. After running a simulation, the sample distribution has a standard deviation of 0.07. Which of these is the smallest interval that likely describes the range of values we estimate for the population proportion using the margin of error from this unit?
0.21 to 0.63
0.28 to 0.56
0.35 to 0.49
0.41 to 0.43
A sample of 20 people is used to estimate the proportion of people who support the local soccer team over other soccer teams in the league. Based on that sample, simulations are done to get a sense of the sampling distribution. The proportions for 10 of those simulated samples are listed here.
A scientific report says that the proportion of the population that is left-handed is 0.10 with a margin of error of 0.02.
Create a dot plot that displays a symmetric distribution with at least 9 data values.
