Using the estimate from the 2013 YRBS, we calculate a standard error of 0.020. Since the data allows the use of the normal model, we can determine an approximate 95% confidence interval for the percentage of all U. S. public high school students who are obese. Which interval is the approximate 95% confidence interval?a. 0.097 to 0.177b. 0.117 to 0.157c. 0.110 to 0.190d. 0.013 to 0.170

The right answer is

c) 0.110 to 0.190

Step-by-step explanation:

The question is incomplete:

Teen obesity: The 2013 National Youth Risk Behavior Survey (YRBS) reported that 13.7% of U.S. students in grades 9 through 12 who attend public and private school were obese. Suppose that 15% of a random sample of 300 U.S. public high school students were obese.

Kann, L., Kinchen, S., Shanklin, S.L., Flint, K.H., Hawkins, J., Harris, W.A., et. al.(2013) YRBS 2013 Report. http://www.cdc.gov/healthyyouth/yrbs/index.htm

Using the estimate from the 2013 YRBS, we calculate a standard error of 0.020. Since the data allows the use of the normal model, we can determine an approximate 95% confidence interval for the percentage of all U.S. public high school students who are obese. Which interval is the approximate 95% confidence interval?

a) 0.097 to 0.177

b) 0.117 to 0.157

c) 0.110 to 0.190

d) 0.013 to 0.170

We have to calculate a 95% confidence interval for the proportion.

The sample size is n=300 and the sample proportion is p=0.15.

The standard error of the proportion is calculated from the 2013 YRBS and has a value of σp=0.020.

The critical z-value for a 95% confidence interval is z=1.96.

The margin of error (MOE) can be calculated as:

Then, the lower and upper bounds of the confidence interval are:

The 95% confidence interval for the population proportion is (0.110, 0.190).

hi i’m going tomorrow morning and i can come over and you out with this stuff for me haha ya day is going crazy and i’ll tell you what i’m talking about you don’t wanna go do you think i’m going to be a good friend i just don’t know how much you mean about the stuff you want to do and stuff you know i just want you and you know that i’m going crazy i don’t think i’m going crazy about going tomorrow and i’ll tell ya hey i don’t think i’m going crazy about going tomorrow and i’ll tell you what i’m done
