A random sample of 250 residents of a Culver City indicate that 82 are satisfied with the services provided by the city.  A random sample of 325 residents of Santa Monica indicate that 129 are satisfied with the services provided by the city.  Assume that the conditions are met to calculate the 95% confidence interval for the difference in the proportions of Culver City and Santa Monica residents that are satisfied with the services provided by the city.   1. Are these considered dependent or independent populations?  [dep] 2. What is the point estimate of the difference in the proportions of Culver City residents and Santa Monica residents that are satisfied with services provided by the city?  [point] 3. We are 95% confident that the difference in the proportion of Culver City residents and Santa Monica residents who are satisfied with the services provided by their city is between [lower] and [upper] 4. Because the interval [is] we [conclude].

It is estimated that 82% of college students check their social media accounts at least once per day.  You believe that the proportion could be higher.  A random sample of 1072 college students indicates that 83.4% of the sample says that they check their social media accounts at least once per day.   Find the 95% confidence interval estimate of the proportion of college students that check their social media accounts at least once per day and explain whether, based on the interval, is the actual percentage being greater than 82% is supported by the interval.  1. The 95% confidence interval is from [lower] to [higher]. 2. The interval [supports] the actual percentage being greater than 82% because [why].

The contingency table (also called the table of observed values) below shows the results of a random sample of registered voters that was conducted to see whether their opinions on a proposed law are related to their party affiliation. Use α = 0.05 to test if party opinion and approval of the law are independent.  Use the words and methods from the class.  Approve Disapprove No opinion Republican 35 55 42 Democrat 62 47 46 Other 15 17 20 Complete the following for the hypothesis test.  What are the null and alternative hypothesis?
