Chapter 16.1, Problem 1JC
A Pew Research study regarding cell phones asked about cell phone experience. One growing concern is unsolicited advertising in the form of text messages. Pew asked cell phone owners, “Have you ever received unsolicited text messages on your cell phone from advertisers?” and 17% reported that they had. Pew estimates a 95% confidence interval to be 0.17 ± 0.04, or between 13% and 21%.
Are the following statements about people who have cell phones correct interpretations of that confidence interval? Explain.
4. In Pew’s sample, somewhere between 13% and 21% of respondents reported that they had received unsolicited advertising text messages.

The adult survey had 1063 gamers, while the teen survey had 1064 gamers. The memo reports that 54% of adult gamers played on game consoles (Xbox, PlayStation, Wii, etc.), while 89% of teen gamers played on game consoles. Suppose you want to construct a 95% confidence interval for the difference. You want to test were or not the two proportions (adult using consoles vs teens using consoles) are the same.
