In New York City on October 23rd, 2014, a doctor who had recently been treating Ebola patients in Guinea went to the hospital with a slight fever and was subsequently diagnosed with Ebola. Soon thereafter, an NBC 4 New York/The Wall Street Journal/Marist Poll found that 82% of New Yorkers favored a mandatory 21-day quarantine for anyone who has come in contact with an Ebola patient”. This poll included responses of 1,042 New York adults between Oct 26th and 28th, 2014.
What is the point estimate in this case? What is the sample size? Are the central limit theorem conditions met? Explain. Calculate the standard error for ˆpp^. Construct a 95% confidence interval for pp, the proportion of New York adults who supported a quarantine for anyone who has come into contact with an Ebola patient. With ______ % confidence, the proportion of all New York adults who supported a quarantine for anyone who has come into contact with an Ebola patient is between____  and ____.
