### Constructing a 95% Confidence Interval for Teenage Drivers in Auto AccidentsAn insurance company examines police records for a sample of 579 auto accidents selected at random. The records reveal that teenagers were driving in 95 of these accidents. Based on this data, our task is to complete parts (a) through (d).#### a) Confidence Interval CalculationTo estimate the percentage of all auto accidents involving teenage drivers, we need to construct a 95% confidence interval (CI).#### **Formula:**The 95% confidence interval is calculated using the formula:\[ 95\% \text{ CI} = [\_\_\_ \%, \_\_\_ \%]\]- **Note:** Ensure to round your final answers to one decimal place as needed.This exercise requires you to determine the confidence interval that will reflect the percentage estimate of teenage involvement in auto accidents accurately, using appropriate statistical methods.#### Instructions:- Calculate the sample proportion for teenage drivers.- Use the sample proportion to compute the standard error.- Apply the margin of error for a 95% CI using the critical value.- Substitute these into the formula above to complete the confidence interval estimation. Please refer to the resources provided below for additional guidance and examples:- **View an example**- **Get more help** Finally, verify your calculated interval using the provided option to clear or check your answer.

A survey described the results of a poll of working adults in Canada. Each person in a random sample was classified according to gender and the number of vacation days he or she usually took each year. The resulting data are summarized in the given table.

You are interested in constructing a 99% confidence interval for the proportion of all caterpillars that eventually become butterflies. Of the 431 randomly selected caterpillars observed, 50 lived to become butterflies. Round answers to 4 decimal places where possible. a. With 99% confidence the proportion of all caterpillars that lived to become a butterfly is between___ and___ . b. If many groups of 431 randomly selected caterpillars were observed, then a different confidence interval would be produced from each group. About____ percent of these confidence intervals will contain the true population proportion of caterpillars that become butterflies and about ____ percent will not contain the true population proportion.

A study examined parental influence on teenagers' decisions to smoke. A group of students who had never smoked were asked about their parents' attitudes to smoking. The students were questioned two years later to see if they had started smoking. The study found that, of the 287 students whose parents disapproved, 58 became smokers. Of the 48 students with lenient parents, 11 smoked. Complete parts a through c below. a) Create a 95% confidence interval for the difference between the proportion of children with lenient parents who later smoked, p1, and the proportion of children with disapproving parents who later smoked, p2. The confidence interval for p1−p2 is −0.101negative 0.101,0.1550.155. (Round to three decimal places as needed.) b) Interpret your interval in this context. Select the correct choice below and fill in the answer boxes within your choice. (Round to one decimal place as needed.) A. There is 95% confidence that the proportion of teens…
