"Streaming" of television programs is trending upward. According to The Harris Poll (August 26, 2013), over one-
third of American's qualify as "subscription streamers," i.e., those who watch streamed TV programs through a
subscription service such as Netflix, Hulu Plus, or Amazon Prime. The poll included 2,242 adult TV viewers, of
which 785 are subscription streamers. On the basis of this result, can you conclude that the true fraction of adult
TV viewers who are subscription streamers differs from one-third? Carry out the test using a Type I error rate of a
a = 0.10. Be sure to give the null and alternative hypotheses tested, test statistic value, rejection region or p-value,
and conclusion.

The National Center for Health Statistics, housed within the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), tracks the number of adults in the United States who have health insurance. According to this agency, the uninsured rates for Americans in 2018 are as follows: 5.1% of those under the age of 18, 12.4% of those ages 18-64, and 1.1% of those 65and older do not have health insurance (CDC website). Approximately 22.8% of Americans are under age 18, and 61.4% of Americans are aged 18-64. Given that the person is an uninsured American, what is the probability that the person is 65 or older (to 3 decimals)?
The Transportation Security Administration (TSA) collects data on wait time at each of its airport security checkpoints. For flights departing from Terminal 3 at John F. Kennedy International Airport (JFK) between 3:00 and 4:00 PM on Wednesday, the mean wait time is 12 minutes, and the maximum wait time is 16 minutes.

- The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety issued a news release titled “TeenDrivers Often Ignoring Bans on Using Cell Phones” (June 9, 2008). The following quoteis from the news release:Just 1–2 months prior to the ban’s Dec. 1, 2006, start, 11% of teen driverswere observed using cell phones as they left school in the afternoon. About 5months after the ban took effect, 12% of teen drivers were observed using cellphones. Suppose that the two samples of teen drivers (before the ban, after the ban) are repre-sentative of these populations of teen drivers. Suppose also that 200 teen drivers were observed before the ban and that 150 teen drivers were observed after the ban.(a) Construct and interpret a 95% large-sample confidence interval for thedifference in the proportion using a cell phone while driving before the ban and theproportion after the ban.
