A recent poll found that 664 out of 1026 randomly selected people in a particular country felt that colleges and universities with big sports programs placed too much emphasis on athletics over academics. Assuming the conditions for the CLT are met, use the accompanying Minitab output to complete parts a and b below. N Event Sample p 95% CI for p 1026 664 0.647173 (0.617934, 0.676413) Question content area bottom b. Suppose a sports blogger wrote an article claiming that a majority of adults from this country believe that colleges and universities with big sports programs place too much emphasis on athletics over academics. Does this confidence interval support the blogger's claim? Explain your reasoning. A. No, it is not a plausible claim because the confidence interval contains 50%. B. No, it is not a plausible claim because the confidence interval does not contain only values above 50%. C. Yes, it is a…

A study is made of residents in Phoenix and its suburbs concerning the proportion of residents who subscribe to Sporting News. A random sample of 87 urban residents showed that 13 subscribed, and a random sample of 95 suburban residents showed that 20 subscribed. Does this indicate that a higher proportion of suburban residents subscribe to Sporting News? Use a 10% level of significance. \
