In a random sample of 392 people that were tested for the Norcovirus, it was found that 314 did not have the virus. A 97% confidence interval was constructed to estimate the proportion of the population that does not have the Norcovirus. This confidence interval came out to be (0.76,0.84).
You work for a company that produces electronics with integrated circuits. One of your products is called a "shift register." This product is designed to automatically shut down if its operating temperature exceeds 175 degrees Celsius.

In a science fair project, Emily conducted an experiment in which she tested professional touch therapists to see if they could sense her energy field. She flipped a coin to select either her right hand or her left hand, and then she asked the therapists to identify the selected hand by placing their hand just under Emily's hand without seeing it and without touching it. Among285 trials, the touch therapists were correct 130 times. Construct a 95% confidence interval estimate of the proportion of correct responses made by touch therapists.

A recent survey of two countries in South America reports on data about foreign-born citizens. Of 500 randomly selected people in Peru, 125 reported as being born in another country; meanwhile, 75 of 800 randonly selected Argentinians reported as being foreign-born. Use this information to create a 95% confidence interval for the true difference in proportions of foreign born citizens between Peru and Argentina.
