7.) Do You Find Solitude Distressing?
"For many people, being left alone with their thoughts is a most undesirable activity,." says a
psychologist involved in a study examining reactions to solitude. In the study, 146 college
students were asked to hand over their cell phones and sit alone, thinking, for
about 10 minutes. Afterward, 76 of the participants rated the experience as unpleasant. Use
this information to estimate the proportion of all college students who would find it
unpleasant to sit alone with their thoughts. (This reaction is not limited to college students: in
a follow-up study involving adults ages 18 to 77, a similar outcome was reported.)
(a) Give notation for the quantity that is being estimated.
(b) Give notation for the quantity that gives the best estimate.
:>

(d) Give a 95% confidence interval for the quantity being estimated, given that the margin of
error for the estimate is 5%.
