The World Bank reports that 1.7% of the US population lives on less than $2 per day. The Governor of Utah wants to know if Utah differs from this national average. To investigate this question, researchers take a random sample of 500 households in Utah and find that 10 of the 500 households live on less than $2 per day. Is there evidence that Utah differs from the national average? Use a 95% confidence level.

A tech company believes that the percentage of residents in the town XYZ that own a cell phone is 70%. A marketing manager believes the value to be different.

A researcher surveys 50 individuals in Smithville and 40 in Amherst, finding that 30% of smithville residents moved last year, while only 22% of Amherst residents did.

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 a study designed to determine whether there was a cluster of brain cancer cases at a Pratt & Whitney plant, record from 223,000 employees were studied and 723 employees with brain tumors were found. Treat those employees as a random sample and construct a 95% confidence interval estimate of the proportion of all adults who develop such tumors. write a brief statement interpreting that confidence interval.

In 2003, an organization surveyed 1,500 adult Americans and asked about a certain war, "Do you believe the United States made the right or wrong decision to use military force?" Of the 1,500 adult Americans surveyed, 1,085 stated the United States made the right decision. In 2008, the organization asked the same question of 1,500 adult Americans and found that 570 believed the United States made the right decision. Construct and interpret a 90% confidence interval for the difference between the two population proportions, p2003−p2008.
