The highway department wants to estimate the proportion of vehicles on Interstate 25 between the hours of midnight and 5:00 A.M. that are 18-wheel tractor trailers. The estimate will be used to determine highway repair and construction considerations and in highway patrol planning. Suppose researchers for the highway department counted vehicles at different locations on the interstate for several nights during this time period. Of the 3,263 vehicles counted, 1,009 were 18-wheelers.a. Determine the point estimate for the proportion of vehicles traveling Interstate 25 during this time period that are 18-wheelers.b. Construct a 99% confidence interval for the proportion of vehicles on Interstate 25 during this time period that are 18-wheelers.
More shoppers do the majority of their grocery shopping on Saturday than any other day of the week. However, is there a difference in the various age groups in the proportion of people who do the majority of their grocery shopping on Saturday? A study showed the results for the different age groups. The data were reported as percentages. Assume that 200 shoppers for each age group were surveyed. At the 0.05 level of significance, what is the p-value (the data is in sheet 14)? the data is in sheet 14 Age Major Shopping Day Under 35 over 35 Saturday 24% 28% A day other than Saturday 76% 72% a) 42% b) 95% c) 5% d) 36%
