When looking at my friend group, it appears that in more (traditional) marriages these days, the woman is the younger spouse.  I wonder if the proportion of women who are the younger spouse is more than 50%. To test this theory, I sample 100 married couples, and find that in 56 of them the women is younger than the man.      To help answer this question, please create a 95% confidence interval for the proportion of women who are younger than their spouse.    Using this interval, can you say that the proportion of women who are the younger spouse is more than 50%?  Support your answer.   

A 2015 Georgetown study found that the average college student worked 30 hours per week. The Dean of Students at Reynolds suspects that Reynolds students work more than this average. To test this believe, a random sample of 66 Reynolds students were surveyed and it was found that the average hours a week these students worked was 34 with a standard deviation of 8. Do these results indicate Reynolds students work more than the Georgetown study found? Test at the 5% level of significance. Write your answer in a sentence in context of the original question (all your work is still required for credit):

When you are traveling delays in airlines can be problematic. For my upcoming Christmas break trip, I have the choice between traveling through Chicago, or traveling through Atlanta. I want to see if there is a difference in the average delay time of flights delayed between these two airports. I sampled 46 flights which flew from Chicago and found the average delay time was 53 minutes (s=11) and I sampled 33 flights which flew from Atlanta and found the average delay time was 44 minutes (s =9). Do these results indicate that two airports have a difference in the average delay for a flight? Test at a .10 level of significance.   Mark the best choice below.  All work must be submitted, however, for credit.
