(Use this information to answer questions Q36- Q39)
Suppose a graduate student in political science is interested in determining the proportion of voting adults in his community who identify as moderate. He believes that the proportion of the 2,543 voting adults in the community who identify as moderate is about 0.3. To investigate this claim, he selects a random sample of 400 voting adults and constructs a confidence interval for the proportion of voting adults in the community who identify as moderate.
(Hint: For a 90% confidence interval, use 1.645 as the multiplier. For a 95% confidence interval, use 1.960. For a 99% confidence interval, use 2.576.)
1. If the sample produces a total of 132 voting adults who identify as moderate, then The proportion of adults in the sample who are moderate isp=^ [ Select ] ["0.87", "0.67", "0.33", "0.13"].
2. Using the proportion of the sample in Q36, the standard error of the sample proportions, or SEP, is [ Select ] ["0.0165", "0.0169", "0.0235", "0.2211"] .
3. Using the SEP in Q37, the standard error of the margin of error, or ME, is [ Select ] ["0.000", "0.039", "0.046", "0.061"] .
4. You can be 99% confident that the interval [ Select ] ["0.291", "0.284", "0.269"] to
[ Select ] ["0.369", "0.376", "0.391"] includes the population proportion P.
