Nikki’s friend says that, since this survey is about sports facilities, a sample of students should be chosen from the school sports teams. State, giving a reason, whether you agree with Nikki’s friend.
Nikki selects an appropriate random sample of 60 students. She discovers that 45 of these students think that the sports facilities are good. Calculate an approximate 95% confidence interval for the proportion of students who think that the sports facilities are good.
For a different investigation, Nikki uses another large random sample to find a 99% confidence interval and an $x\%$ confidence interval. The width of the 99% confidence interval is twice the width of the $x\%$ confidence interval. Calculate the value of $x$.
