Chapter 10.2, Problem 20E
Social media: A Pew poll found that in a sample of 1002 adults, 621 had a social media account.
The study repeated a year later. and 631 out of 971 adults has social media accounts.
- Construct a confidence interval for the increase in the proportion of adults with social media accounts during the year between the surveys.
- An executive at a social media company claims that the proportion of adults with social media accounts increased by more than 0.10 during the year. Does the confidence interval contradict this claim?

The accompanying table contains the data for the amounts (in oz) in cans of a certain soda. The cans are labeled to indicate that the contents are 20 oz of soda. Use the sign test and
0.05 significance level to test the claim that cans of this soda are filled so that the median amount is 20 oz. If the median is not 20 oz, are consumers being cheated?
