In a survey of 4860 U.S. adults, 77% said they would date or have already dated someone whose religion was different from theirs. (Source: Pew Research Center)
Construct a 95% confidence interval for the proportion of U.S. adults who say they would date or have already dated someone whose religion was different from theirs.
Translating Statements In Exercises 29–34, translate the statement into a confidence interval. Approximate the level of confidence.
In a survey of 1052 parents of children ages 8–14, 68% say they are willing to get a second or part-time job to pay for their children’s college education, and 42% say they lose sleep worrying about college costs. The survey’s margin of error is ±3%. (Source: T. Rowe Price Group, Inc.)
Since 1935, the Gallup Organization has conducted public opinion polls in the United States and around the world. The table shows the results of Gallup’s World Affairs Poll of 2021, in which 1021 U.S. adults were polled. The remaining percentages not shown in the results are adults who were not sure.

Find the minimum sample size needed to estimate, with 95% confidence, the population proportion of adults who feel that China’s economic power is a critical or an important economic threat to the United States. Your estimate must be accurate within 2% of the population proportion.
Constructing Confidence Intervals In Exercises 27 and 28, use the figure, which shows the results of a survey in which 1021 U.S. adults were asked whether they see each of the possible threats to the vital interests of the United States as a critical threat in the next 10 years. (Source: Gallup)
Critical Threats Construct a 95% confidence interval for the population proportion of U.S. adults who gave each response.
In Exercises 9–12, construct the indicated confidence intervals for (a) the population variance and (b) the population standard deviation . Assume the sample is from a normally distributed population.
