Question

Fewer young people are driving. In 1983, 87% of 19 -year-olds had a driver's license. Twenty-five years later that percentage had dropped to 75% (University of Michigan Transportation Research Institute website, April 7, 2012). Suppose these results are based on a random sample of 1200  19-year-olds in 1983 and again in 2008.

a. At 95% confidence, what is the margin of error and the interval estimate of the number of 19 -year-old drivers in 1983? Round your intermediate answers to four decimal places.

Margin of error (four decimal places)

Interval estimate (to four decimal places) to

b. At 95% confidence, what is the margin of error and the interval estimate of the number of -year-old drivers in 2008? Round your answers to four decimal places.
