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? Justify your answer.
4. In a random sample of 100 voters in a school district, 40
of them stated they were in favor of the school district bond
election. Find a 95% confidence interval for the true proportion of
all district voters who favor the bond election. Interpret the
interval in the context of the problem.
