A bank report looks at what strategies and measures financial institutions are pursuing to provide mobile financial services to their customers. In a response to a survey question about barriers hindering greater consumer adoption of mobilebanking, in a survey of 126 financial institutions, 85 said security concerns are a barrier, 78 said lack of trust in the technology is a barrier, and 13 said difficulty of use was a barrier.

Suppose that a safety group surveyed 1,100 drivers. Among those surveyed, 65% said that careless or aggressive driving was the biggest threat on the road, and 25% 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 95% confidence that the population proportion…
In a recent Zogby International Poll, nine of 48 respondents rated the likelihood of a terrorist attack in their community as “likely” or “very likely”.
