Additional Exercises

A credit card company is planning a marketing campaign that will target a population of 30,088,500 Hispanic American adults. The Excel data file “Xr09-14” contains sample data on 475 Hispanic Americans who were asked how they usually pay for purchases. Their responses are coded as follows: 1. Cash, 2. Check, 3. Visa, 4. MasterCard, 5. Other Credit Card.

· Label a column “Credit Card”, where you will indicate whether or not each respondent usually pays with a credit card. To create the first entry, type “=IF(A2>2, 1, 0)”, which will result in a value of “1” if a credit card is typically used, and zero otherwise. Complete the column.

· Calculate the sample proportion of Hispanic Americans who usually pay by credit card (the “SUM” function will be helpful here).

· Estimate the standard error of the sample proportion.

· Use the “NORM.S.INV” function to find Z0.025.

· Create a 95% Confidence Interval estimate for the population proportion of Hispanic Americans who usually pay by credit card.

· In a complete sentence, carefully interpret the confidence interval you constructed for part (e).
