These questions are likely part of a larger problem set related to hypothesis testing or confidence intervals. ### Title: Analysis of Revenue Data from Forbes' Largest Private Companies#### IntroductionThis section provides information on how Investment Operating Programs (IOP) generate substantial new wealth. Despite many companies transitioning from private ownership, a significant number remain private. The table below displays revenue data from a random sample of 15 companies from Forbes' list of 441 Largest Private Companies.#### Revenue Data of Sample Companies| Company | Revenue (in billions) ||--------------|-----------------------|| Enterprise | 13.1 || FlyingJ | 14.32 || Tenaska | 11.6 || Wawa | 5.05 || Ergon | 4.49 || Brookshire | 2.2 || BrightStar | 3.66 || Bose | 2.18 || MaryKay | 2.4 || LLBean | 1.62 || RoomToGo | 1.75 || SAS | 2.15 || BlueTee | 1.1 || Printpack | 1.36 || USOil | 2.19 |#### Tasks**a. Describe the population from which the random sample was drawn.**The population comprises companies listed in Forbes' 441 Largest Private Companies, a collection of businesses that remain privately owned with substantial revenues. These entities span various industries and provide insight into the financial landscape of large, privately held companies.**b. Use a 98% confidence interval to estimate the mean revenue of the population of companies in question.**To calculate this, you will need to compute the sample mean and standard deviation. Then, apply the formula for the confidence interval of the mean for large samples (assuming normal distribution):\[ \text{CI} = \bar{x} \pm Z \times \left(\frac{s}{\sqrt{n}}\right) \]Where:- $ \bar{x} $ = sample mean- $ Z $ = Z-value for 98% confidence (approximately 2.33)- $ s $ = sample standard deviation- $ n $ = sample size (15 in this case)This calculation will offer an estimate of the average revenue with a specified level of confidence.

A health statistics agency in a certain country tracks the number of adults who have health insurance. Suppose according to the agency, the uninsured rates in a recent year are as follows: 5.2% of those under the age of 18, 12.9% of those ages 18-64, and 1.3% of those 65 and older do not have health insurance. Suppose 22.4% of people in the county are under age 18, and 62.3% are ages 18-64.
