From telephone interviews with 980 teenagers, it was found that 765 of those teenagers supported legalization of marijuana. Does this survey substantiate that more than 75% of the teenage population are in favour of legalizing marijuana? Use significance level a = 0.05. State all assumptions. Construct a 95% confidence interval to estimate the true population proportion of teenagers supporting the legalization of marijuana.

The research group asked the following question of individuals who earned in excess of $100,000 per year and those who earned less than $100,000 per year: "Do you believe that it is morally wrong for unwed women to have children?" Of the 1,205 individuals who earned in excess of $100,000 per year, 712 said yes; of the 1,310 individuals who earned less than $100,000 per year, 693 said yes.

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.
