The career center at a large university surveyed a random sample of students who graduated theprevious year. Of the 125 surveyed students who majored in engineering, 90 were able to find a jobwithin six months of graduating. Of the 68 surveyed students who majored in business, 51 were ableto find a job within six months of graduating. Which of the following expressions gives a 90%confidence interval for the difference in the proportion of engineering and business majors whocould find jobs within six months of graduating?(0.72)(0.28)125(A) 0.03±0.05,(0.75)(0.25)68(B) 0.03±1.645(0.72)(0.28) (0.75)(0.25)12568(C) 0.03±1.645,(0.731)(0.269) (0.731)(0.269)+(D) 0.03±1.96+125(0.72)(0.28) (0.75)(0.25)1256868(E) 0.03±1.96,(0.731)(0.269) (0.731)(0.269)+12568

CNN is conducting a poll, and wants to produce a 90% confidence interval for the proportion of all New York residents who favor legalizing recreational marijuana. Of the 602 randomly selected New Yorkers surveyed, 394 were in favor of the initiative. a.
