n a sample conducted in States with primary enforcement seat belt laws, 571 out of 653 randomly selected drivers were observed wearing their seat belt. In a sample conducted in States without primary enforcement seat belt laws, 454 out of 596 randomly selected drivers were observed wearing their seat belt. Estimate how much higher the proportion of drivers in States with primary enforcement seat belt laws wear their seat belt than drivers in States without primary enforcement seat belt laws using a 95% confidence interval. Express the estimate both symbolically and verbally.

A farmer wants to test the effectiveness of a pest control method in allowing strawberry blooms to yield marketable strawberries. Of a random sample of 100 blooms,77 yield marketable strawberries. Is this evidence that two-thirds or more of all blooms grown with this pest control method ends up as marketable strawberries? The 95% large-sample confidence interval for the proportion of blooms that yield marketable strawberries is?
A computer software magazine compares the rates of malware infection for computers protected by security software A with the rates of infection for computers protected by security software B.They found that out of 787 computers with security software A, 72 became infected with some type of malware after 1000 hours of internet interaction. For security software B, 37 out of 834 computers became infected after 1000 hours of internet interaction.Assuming these to be random samples of infection rates for the two security software packages, construct a 98% confidence interval for the difference between the proportions of infection for the two types of security software packages. Interpret the results. Does the confidence interval contradict the claim that the proportion of infections is the same for the two types of security software?
The production manager in an automobile plant is concerned with the number of cars that do not pass the final quality control inspection. In the last two hours he noted that in a sample of 120 cars only 92 were acceptable. The lower and upper limit of a 95% confidence interval for the true percentage of all cars that would not pass the final quality control inspection would be:

In order to judge the effectiveness of an advertising campaign for a certain brand of pretzel, a company obtained a simple random sample of 95 convenience store receipts the week before the ad campaign began, and found that 28 of them showed a purchase of the pretzels. Another simple random sample of 65 receipts was taken the week after the ad campaign, and 33 of them showed a pretzel purchase. Construct a 98% confidence interval for the difference between the proportions of customers purchasing pretzels before and after the ad campaign. Interpret the results. A marketing manager claims that the proportion of customers who purchased pretzels did not change after the ad campaign. Does the confidence interval contradict this claim?
