Local TV News Pew Research reported that 46 % of Americans surveyed in 2016 got their news from local television. A similar survey conducted in 2017 found that 37 % of Americans got their news from local television. Assume the sample size for each poll was 1200. a. Construct the 95 % confidence interval for the difference in the proportions of Americans who get their news from local television in 2016 and 2017. b. Based on your interval, do you think there has been a change in the pro-portion of Americans who get their news from local television? Explain.

b. Based on your interval, do you think there has been a change in the pro-portion of Americans who get their news from local television? Explain.
Definition Definition Number of subjects or observations included in a study. A large sample size typically provides more reliable results and better representation of the population. As sample size and width of confidence interval are inversely related, if the sample size is increased, the width of the confidence interval decreases.
65% of all violent felons in the prison system are repeat offenders. If 43 violent felons are randomly selected, find the probability that
a. Exactly 28 of them are repeat offenders.
b. At most 28 of them are repeat offenders. c. At least 28 of them are repeat offenders. d. Between 22 and 26 (including 22 and 26) of them are repeat offenders.

Examine the Variables: Carefully review and note the names of all variables in the dataset. Examples of these variables include:
Mileage (mpg)
Number of Cylinders (cyl)
Displacement (disp)
Horsepower (hp)
Research: Google to understand these variables.
Statistical Analysis: Select mpg variable, and perform the following statistical tests. Once you are done with these tests using mpg variable, repeat the same with hp

Document Your Results:
In RStudio: Before running each statistical test, provide a heading in the format shown at the bottom. “# Mean of mileage – Your name’s command”
In Microsoft Word: Once you've completed all tests, take a screenshot of your results in RStudio and paste it into a Microsoft Word document. Make sure that snapshots are very clear. You will need multiple snapshots. Also transfer these results to the…
