A state-by-state survey found that the proportions of adults who are smokers in state A and state B were 23.1% and 17.2%, respectively. (Suppose the number of respondents from each state was 2000.) At α=0.05, can you support the claim that the proportion of adults who are smokers is greater in state A than in state B? Assume the random samples are independent

(3-B is needed to answer it I am only asking for question 4.) 3) You go out and collect the following estimates of earthworms / acre:54,276 57,378 51,108 66,190 66,232 59,018 57,159These data yield the following: ̄y = 59,765.86, and s = 5,689.606a) Construct a 90% CI for these data.b) Construct a 99% CI for these data.c) Darwin once estimated that an acre of soil had about 50,000 worms in it. Is his estimateconsistent with the data above? (Historical note: His estimate was considered way too high inhis day). 4) Consider the results of 3(b). Notice that all the data fit within the 99% confidence interval. Is thisusually the case (in other words, will a 99% CI contain most of the observations)?Caution: a lot of people get this wrong! Here's a hint: suppose you had measured the worms in6000 acres (instead of just 7). What happens to the confidence interval? If you're not sure,substitute 6,000 for 7 in your calculation for (b) to see what happens.

The parameters of my population distribution are: µ = 20 and σ = 5. The parameters of my sample are: Mean = 24 and n = 25. Calculate my sample's Z score on the comparison distribution.
