The Health Care Cost Institute tracks health care expenditures for beneficiaries under the age of 65 who are covered by employ­ er­sponsored private health insurance. The data contained in the file DrugCost are con­ sistent with the institute’s findings concerning annual prescription costs per employee. Analyze the data using Excel and answer the following questions.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                       a. Develop a 90% confidence interval for the annual cost of prescription drugs.                                                                                             b. Develop a 90% confidence interval for the amount of out­of­pocket expense per employee                                                                 c. What is your point estimate of the proportion of employees who incurred no pre­ scription drug costs?                                     d. Which, if either, of the confidence intervals in parts (a) and (b) has a larger margin of error.
