3. The US. Department of Transportation, National Highway Safety Traffic Safety Administration reported that 77% of all fatally injured automobile drivers were intoxicated. A random sample of 65 automobile driver fatalities in Dallas County (1996) showed that 43 involved an intoxicated driver. Construct a 96% confidence interval to estimate the proportion of all Dallas County automobile driver fatalities who were intoxicated. Based on your interval, do you think that the Dallas County rate is substantially lower than the national rate?...

A random sample of 100 voters is taken to estimate the proportion of a state's electorate in favor of increasing the gasoline tax to provide additional revenue for highway repairs. Suppose that it is decided that a sample of 100 voters is too small to provide a sufficiently reliable estimate of the population proportion. It is required instead that the probability that the sample proportion differs from the population proportion (whatever its value) by more than 0.06 should not exceed...
