Question 1

A random sample of 350 registered voters found that 196 support a proposed transit tax, and a 95 percent confidence interval for the proportion of all registered voters who support it was computed to be 0.508 to 0.612. Which of the following conclusions about majority support is best supported by this interval?

Question 2

A simple random sample of 120 households finds that 42 subscribe to a streaming service (p^=0.35\hat{p} = 0.35). A 95%95\% confidence interval is (0.265,0.435)(0.265, 0.435). Assuming conditions are met, which of the following actions would produce a confidence interval with a smaller margin of error and a lower confidence level than 95%95\%?

Question 13 / 4 pts
Part a1 / 1 pts
Point 1: Earned
Grader confidence 94% sure

Reason: Correctly identifies demand for gasoline as inelastic.

Evidence: "The price of gasoline rises and the quantity falls only a little."

Part b2 / 3 pts
Point 1: Earned
Grader confidence 91% sure

Reason: Graph shows relatively inelastic demand.

Evidence: Draws a steep demand curve.

Point 2: Earned
Grader confidence 88% sure

Reason: Correct new equilibrium price.

Evidence: Shifts supply left, P1 → P2.

Point 3: Not earned
Grader confidence 82% sure

Reason: With inelastic demand, a price increase raises total revenue.

Evidence: "Revenue goes down."
