1. Because of uncertainty in real estate markets, many homeowners are considering remodeling and constructing additions rather than selling. Probably the most expensive room in the house to remodel is the kitchen, with an average cost of around $23, 400. In terms of resale value, is remodeling the kitchen worth the cost? Below are cost and resale figures published by Remodeling magazine for 11 cities. Use these data to construct a 90% confidence interval for the difference between cost and added resale value of kitchen remodeling. Resale $25,163 24,625 12,600 24,588 City Atlanta Cost $20,427 27,255 22,115 23,256 21,887 22,786 19,852 23,624 25,885 28,999 20,836 Boston Des Moines Kansas City, MO Louisville 19,267 20,150 22,500 18,667 26,875 35,333 16,292| Newark, NJ Raleigh-Durham Reno Ridgewood, NJ San Francisco Tulsa

Suppose that a safety group surveyed 800 drivers. Among those surveyed, 83% said that careless or aggressive driving was the biggest threat on the road, and 34% said that cell phone usage by other drivers was the driving behavior that annoyed them the most. Based on these data and assuming that the sample was a simple random sample, construct and interpret a 95% confidence interval estimate for the true proportion in the population of all drivers who are annoyed by cell phone users. The confidence interval estimate is ??––––––?? (Round to three decimal places as needed. Use ascending order.) Interpret the confidence interval estimate. A. There is a 0.95 probability that the population proportion of drivers who are annoyed by cell phone users is in the interval. B. There is 95% confidence that the population proportion of drivers who are annoyed by cell phone users is in the interval. C. There is a 0.95 probability that the sample proportion of drivers…

Vitamin D, whether ingested as a dietary supplement or produced naturally when sunlight falls upon the skin, is essential for strong, healthy bones. The bone disease rickets was largely eliminated during the 1950s, but now there is concern that a generation of children more likely to watch TV or play computer games than spend time outdoors is at increased risk. A recent study of 2300 children randomly selected found 22% of them deficient in vitamin D. Complete parts a through c below. Construct a 98% confidence interval for the true proportion of children who are deficient in vitamin D. Select the correct choice below and fill in any answer boxes within your choice Explain carefully what the interval means. Explain what "98% confidence" means
