Suppose in 2011 a survey of 1037 workers in the city of Vancouver found that 225 used public transport to commute to work. Part (a) Estimate the percentage of workers in Vancouver who use public transport to commute to work. Give your answer in percentages (without the percentage sign, and to four significant digits). Part (b) Find a 95% confidence interval for the percentage of workers in Vancouver using public transport to commute to work. Use the sample proportion in your estimate of the standard error. Provide the upper and lower bounds for your confidence interval. Give your answer in percentages (without the percentage sign, and to four significant digits) (

You want to estimate the average difference in the number of complaints filed by women at work and the number of complaints filed by men at work. You took an SRS of 7 businesses and collected the following data for number of complaints in a year: men 1 3 2 4 6 3 5 women 8 7 6 3 5 12 15 Create a 90% confidence interval for the average difference in the number of complaints filed by women at work and the number of complaints filed by men at work (in a year). You must do this using table C. If this is a 2 sample interval, be sure to specify who is population 1 and who is population 2. If this is a matched pairs interval, be sure to state the order you subtracted your data. Once you create your interval, give a sentence explaining the meaning of the interval (what the numbers in the interval mean, NOT the meaning of 95%) in context of this problem. Round to any appropriate number of decimals.
10. Several years ago, 51% of parents who had children in grades K-12 were satisfied with the quality of education the students receive. A recent poll asked 1,075 parents who have children in grades K-12 if they were satisfied with the quality of education the students receive. Of the 1,075 surveyed, 472 indicated that they were satisfied. Construct a 99% confidence interval to assess whether this represents evidence that parents' attitudes toward the quality of education have changed. What are the null and alternative hypotheses? Ho: p (1) versus H1: p (2) (Round to two decimal places as needed.) Use technology to find the 99% confidence interval. The lower bound is The upper bound is (Round to two decimal places as needed.) What is the correct conclusion? O A. Since the interval contains the proportion stated in the null hypothesis, there is insufficient evidence that parents' att O B.
