1. The Hartford Insurance Company wants to estimate the percentage of drivers who change tapes or CDs while driving. A random sample of 850 drivers results in 544 who change tapes or CDs while driving. Find a 90% interval estimate of the percentage of all drivers who change tapes or CD's while driving. 2. When 500 college students are randomly selected and surveyed, it is found the 135 of them own personal computers. Find a 95% confidence interval for the true proportion of all college students who own personal computers.

Question
### Understanding Standard Normal Distribution

#### Reference Graph
Use the graph of the Standard Normal Distribution above for reference. In questions 7-10, shade the area described. Include only the z score (or scores) mentioned in the question.

Next, load Statdisk, click OK, and minimize the Sample Editor Window. Then, select Analysis, Probability Distributions, and Normal Distribution. Let \( z = 3 \) and click Evaluate. 

All of the answers you need for questions 7-10 are on the screen.

**Remember: Do not round the answers! Show all decimal places!**

---

#### Graph Explanation

The Standard Normal Distribution graph (Figure 6-4) depicts a bell-shaped curve centered around a mean of zero. The x-axis represents the z score (standard deviations from the mean), ranging from -3 to 3. The y-axis represents the probability density. The highest point on the graph is at \( z = 0 \), which corresponds to the mean of the distribution.

#### Questions

7. **The region from \( z = -\infty \) to \( z = 3 \)**

   ![Normal Curve](part_of_curve.png)
   
   `Area ______________________`
   
   - Shade the area under the curve from the leftmost end of the graph (approaching negative infinity) to \( z = 3 \).

8. **The region from \( z = 3 \) to \( z = \infty \)**

   ![Normal Curve](another_part_of_curve.png)
   
   `Area ______________________`
   
   - Shade the area under the curve from \( z = 3 \) to the rightmost end of the graph (approaching infinity).

---

### Instructions Recap:
1. **Use the provided Standard Normal Distribution graph.**
2. **Shade the indicated regions.**
3. **Use Statdisk to compute the area for the regions specified in the questions without rounding the answers.**

### Note: 
Ensure to demonstrate all decimal places in your answers as specified.
