The Pew Research Center Internet Project, conducted on the 25th anniversary of the Internet, involved a survey of 857 Internet u

sers (Pew Research Center website, April 1, 2014). It provided a variety of statistics on Internet users. For instance, in 2014, 87% of American adults were Internet users. In 1995 only 14% of American adults used the Internet.
a. The sample survey showed that 90% of respondents said the Internet has been a good thing for them personally. Develop a 95% confidence interval for the proportion of respondents who say the Internet has been a good thing for them personally (to 4 decimals).

b. The sample survey showed that 67% of Internet users said the Internet has generally strengthened their relationship with family and friends. Develop a 95% confidence interval for the proportion of respondents who say the Internet has strengthened their relationship with family and friends (to 4 decimals)

c. Fifty-six percent of Internet users have seen an online group come together to help a person or community solve a problem whereas only 25% have left an online group because of unpleasant interaction. Develop a 95% confidence interval for the proportion of Internet users who say online groups have helped solve a problem (to 4 decimals).

d. Compare the margin of error for the interval estimates in parts (a), (b), and (c). How is the margin of error related to sample proportion (to 2 decimals)?

Answer:

a) 95% confidence interval for the proportion of respondents who say the Internet has been a good thing for them personally:

0.8801\leq \pi \leq 0.9199

b) 95% confidence interval for the proportion of respondents who say the Internet has strengthened their relationship with family and friends:

0.6386\leq \pi \leq 0.7014

c) 95% confidence interval for the proportion of Internet users who say online groups have helped solve a problem:

0.5267\leq \pi \leq 0.5933

d) margin of error for the interval estimates in parts (a) e=0.02, (b) e=0.05, and (c) e=0.06.

Step-by-step explanation:

a) We have a sample proportion of 90% (p=0.90).

The sample size is n=857.

For a 95% CI, the z-value is z=1.96.

The standard deviation for the proportion is:

\sigma_p=\sqrt{\frac{p(1-p)}{n}}=\sqrt{\frac{0.9*0.1}{857}}=0.0102

Then the upper and lower limit of the 95% CI is:

UL=p+z\cdot \sigma_p=0.9+1.96*0.0102=0.9+0.0199=0.9199\\\\\\LL=p-z\cdot \sigma_p=0.9-1.96*0.0102=0.9-0.0199=0.8801

b) We have a sample proportion of 67% (p=0.67).

The sample size is n=857.

For a 95% CI, the z-value is z=1.96.

The standard deviation for the proportion is:

\sigma_p=\sqrt{\frac{p(1-p)}{n}}=\sqrt{\frac{0.67*0.33}{857}}=0.0160

Then the upper and lower limit of the 95% CI is:

UL=p+z\cdot \sigma_p=0.67+1.96*0.0160=0.67+0.0314=0.7014\\\\\\LL=p-z\cdot \sigma_p=0.67-1.96*0.0160=0.67-0.0314=0.6386

c) We have a sample proportion of 56% (p=0.56).

The sample size is n=857.

For a 95% CI, the z-value is z=1.96.

The standard deviation for the proportion is:

\sigma_p=\sqrt{\frac{p(1-p)}{n}}=\sqrt{\frac{0.56*0.44}{857}}=0.0170

Then the upper and lower limit of the 95% CI is:

UL=p+z\cdot \sigma_p=0.56+1.96*0.0170=0.56+0.0333=0.5933\\\\\\LL=p-z\cdot \sigma_p=0.56-1.96*0.0170=0.56-0.0333=0.5267

d)

For a), the relative margin of error is:

e=\frac{z\sigma_p}{p} =\frac{0.0199}{0.9}= 0.02

For b), the relative margin of error is:

e=\frac{z\sigma_p}{p} =\frac{0.0314}{0.67}= 0.05

For c), the relative margin of error is:

e=\frac{z\sigma_p}{p} =\frac{0.0333}{0.56}= 0.06

Number 3.) The answer to this one is x=-14
That is because when a line is undefined it goes as x = (whatever number it is on)
Currency Ln. is undefined and you have to find a line parallel so that's why it's x = -14

Number 4.)
So it says that the new street will be parallel to Market Blvd. meaning that they will have the same slope
Find the slope of Market Blvd. 
Rise/Run
the slope is negative as it goes down from left to right
it goes down 7 and over 1 
slope = -7
and it will pass through the point (-1, 5)
to find the y-intercept we plug in the points to y = mx + b
5 = -7(-1) + b 
5 = 7 + b
subtract 7 from both sides
-2 = b
Plug all the info into the slope intercept we get:
y = -7x -2
So your answer is G

Number 5.) 
If a line is parallel to another line, that means they have the same slope
So here you just need to find the slope of the line named "Bear Street"
Slope is the change in y over the change in x
or the rise/run

The rise is 1
and the run is 7
it is a positive slant as the line goes up from left to right
so the slope is 
1/7
Or D.) 1/7

Hope this helps :)
