Chapter 8, Problem 52SE
The Health Care Cost Institute tracks health care expenditures for beneficiaries under the age of 65 who are covered by employer-sponsored private health insurance (Health Care Cost Institute website, November 4, 2012). The data contained in the DATAfile named DrugCost are consistent with the institute’s findings concerning annual prescription costs per employee. Analyze the data using Excel and answer the following questions.
- a. Develop a 90% confidence interval for the annual cost of prescription drugs.
- b. Develop a 90% confidence interval for the amount of out-of-pocket expense per employee.
- c. What is your point estimate of the proportion of employees who incurred no prescription drug costs?
- d. Which, if either, of the confidence intervals in parts (a) and (b) has a larger margin of error. Why?

Oh dear! I shall be late!” (when she thought it over afterwards, it occurred to her that she ought to have wondered at this, but at the time it all seemed quite natural); but when the Rabbit actually took a watch out of its waistcoat-pocket, and looked at it, and then hurried on, Alice started to her feet, for it flashed across her mind that she had never before seen a rabbit with either a waistcoat-pocket, or a watch to take out of it, and burning with curiosity, she ran across the field after it, and fortunately was just in time to see it pop down a large rabbit-hole under the hedge."
