In a survey funded by the UW school of medicine, 750 of 1,000 adult Seattle residents said they did not believe they could contract a sexually transmitted infection (STI) and 893 of 1,123 Denver residents said they did not believe they could contract an (STI). Construct a 95% confidence interval of the difference in proportions of Seattle and Denver residents who do not believe they could contract a STI. (Use a z score of 1.96 for your computations.)

Find the critical t value to use in making an 80% confidence interval for a mean if the sample size is 35. Write your answer with 3 decimal places.
A study was designed to compare the smoking habits of married men with those married women. A random sample of 240 men revealed that 180 smoked. A random sample of 220 women indicate that 54 smoked. At the 0.01 significance level does the evidence show that a higher proportion of men smoke?
A study was performed to determine the percentage of people who wear life vests while out on the water. A researcher believed that the percentage was different for those who rode jet skis compared to those who were in boats. Out of 400 randomly selected people who rode a jet ski, 88% wore life vests. Out of 250 randomly selected boaters, 82.4% wore life vests. Using a 0.01 level of significance, test the claim that the proportion of people who wear life vests while riding a jet ski is not the same as the proportion of people who wear life vests while riding in a boat. Let jet skiers be Population 1 and let boaters be Population 2. Step 1 of 3: State the null and alternative hypotheses for the test. Fill in the blank below.

A study of 40 English professors showed that they spend, on average, 12.6 minutes correcting a student's term paper. The standard deviation was 2.5 minutes. Construct the 99% confidence interval of the mean for all term papers.
An apartment hunter is shopping for either a one-bedroom or two-bedroom apartment in varying apartment buildings. She wants to estimate the additional amount she would have to pay, on average, for a two-bedroom apartment versus a one-bedroom apartment. The table shows the prices, in dollars, for one- and two-bedroom apartments from the nine buildings she visited. A 95% confidence interval for the true mean difference between two-bedroom and one-bedroom apartments for apartment buildings like the ones in the sample was (255.93, 508.51). A friend of the apartment hunter tells her to expect to pay about $500 more per month for a two-bedroom apartment than for a one-bedroom apartment. Does the confidence interval provide evidence for the friend’s claim? A. No, the confidence interval does not contain 0, so the friend’s claim is not plausible. B. No, the confidence interval contains many more numbers below 500 than above 500, so it is unlikely that the friend’s assertion is correct. C.…

A sports news station wanted to know whether people who live in the North or the South are bigger sports fans. For its study, 121 randomly selected Southerners were surveyed and found to watch a mean of 4.6 hours of sports per week. In the North, 176 randomly selected people were surveyed and found to watch a mean of 3.2 hours of sports per week. Find a 90% confidence interval for the true difference between the mean numbers of hours of sports watched per week for the two regions if the South has a population standard deviation of 1.6 hours per week and the North has a population standard deviation of 1.4 hours per week. Let Population 1 be people who live in the South and Population 2 be people who live in the North. Round the endpoints of the interval to one decimal place, if necessary.
