The authorities want to study the true proportion of households using the drop-off location for plastic recycling. They have taken a random sample of 120 households and asked them if they use drop-off facility. Of the sampled households, 45 said they use the drop-off bins.  Find a 95% confidence interval for the true proportion of households using the drop-off location for plastic recycling. Interpret the above calculated interval in the context of the problem. The authorities believe about 35% of the households in the town are using the drop-off location for plastic recycling. Based on the interval in part 1, are the authorities correct? Explain using the interval.

Data for two major business segments of company, North and South, appear below:   Sales revenues, North $ 759,000   Variable expenses, North $ 440,500   Traceable fixed expenses, North $ 90,900         Sales revenues, South $ 586,800   Variable expenses, South $ 334,900   Traceable fixed expenses, South $ 76,000   In addition, common fixed expenses totaled $206,000 and were allocated as follows: $107,000 to the North business segment and $99,000 to the South business segment.A properly constructed segmented income statement in a contribution format would show that the segment margin of the North business segment is:
