- Treating the 2015 Tobacco rate data as a sample, construct a 95% confidence interval for the mean tobacco rate for males and for females. Interpret each interval. Does it appear that males use tobacco at a higher rate than females? Justify your answer, using the confidence intervals in your explanation. Construct the same confidence interval for males at the 99% confidence level. Compare to the male 95% confidence interval from the previous question. What happened to the interval when the confidence level increased? Explain why.
