Suppose that a manager is interested in estimating the average amount of money customers spend in her store. After sampling 36 transactions at random, she found that the average amount spent was $32.15. She then computed a 90% confidence interval to be between $29.18 and $35.12. Which statement gives a valid interpretation of the interval? O There is a 90% chance that the mean amount spent by all customers is between $29.18 and $35.12. O There is a 90% chance that a randomly selected customer will spend between $29.18 and $35.12.

Refer to the data set of 20 randomly selected presidents given below. Treat the data as a sample and find the proportion of presidents who were taller than their opponents. Use that result to construct a 95% confidence interval estimate of the population percentage. Based on the result, does it appear that greater height is an advantage for presidential candidates? Why or why not? Construct a 95% confidence interval estimate of the percentage of presidents who were taller than their opponents. If greater height was an advantage, then taller candidates should have won (more than,less than,exactly) 50% of the elections. In this case, greater height (appears,does not appear) to be an advantage for presidential candidates because the confidence interval (does,does not) include 50%.
