Independent random samples of 50 boys and 50 girls in a school were asked if they are depressed for more than a week after they got broken up with by their significant other. Of the 50 boys, 26 said yes, and of the 50 girls, 35 said yes. Which of the following is a 95% confidence interval for the difference in the proportion of boys compared to the proportion of girls who are depressed for more than a week after they have been broken with by their significant other in this school?

A team of researchers aims to understand whether a sleep treatment drug has an effect on the number of hours of REM sleep. Five subjects were randomly selected and their time in REM sleep (in minutes) was measured before treatment and after treatment. The before treatment measurements are: (30, 45, 90, 60, 100). The after-treatment measurements for the same five patients are: (35, 30, 80, 70, 110). Your boss looks at the confidence interval you computed and says that it is too wide to be useful for decision making. You propose a list of changes to your methodology that may result in a narrower interval.
