A large automobile insurance company selected samples of single and married male policyholders and recorded the number who made an insurance claim over the preceding three-year period. Z-value p-value Single Policyholders n₁ = 440 Number making claims = 88 a. Use a = 0.05. Test to determine whether the claim rates differ between single and married male policyholders. (to 2 decimals) (to 4 decimals) X Married Policyholders n2 = 840 Number making claims 126 We can conclude ✔ that there is the difference between claim rates. b. Provide a 95% confidence interval (to 4 decimals) for the difference between the proportions for the two populations. Enter negative answer as negative number. X * )

A pediatrician wants to determine the relation that exists between a child's height (x) and head circumference (y). She randomly selects 11 children from her practice and measures their height and head circumference in inches.
