by the United States, Canada and Mexico. This trade agreement has been controversial since its inception
and Americans remain split on the issue. In a Gallup Poll conducted February 1-5, 2017, 472 out of 1025
randomly selected Americans aged 18 or older stated that they believed that NAFTA was bad for the United
States.
a. Find the point estimate for the proportion of Americans who believe that NAFTA was bad for the
United States. Round your answer to 4 decimal places.
b. Find the margin of error for a 95% confidence interval. Round your answer to 4 decimal places.
c. Construct the 95% confidence interval for the proportion of Americans who believe that NAFTA was
bad for the United States. Enter your answer as an open interval of the form (a,b) and round to 3
decimal places.

A popular Italian eatery has had a dispute among the wait staff regarding the amount of tips waiters receive on the lunch shift
and on the dinner shift. Before making any adjustments in schedules or other policies, the restaurant manager wants to
estimate the difference in the average tips eamed by waiters on the lunch schedule and on the dinner schedule. To do this,
she randomly selected 60 tip reports for lunch servers over the past year and 50 tip reports from dinner servers. The results
given below were observed. Assuming equal population variances, develop and interpret an 80% confidence interval estimate
for the difference between the population mean tips earned by lunch servers and by dinner servers.
Mean Tips
St. Dev. Tips
Lunch
$64.40
$11.90
The mean tips earned
Dinner
$101.90
$13.02
Let sample 1 be the sample from the lunch servers and let sample 2 be the sample from the dinner servers.
The 80% confidence interval is
