Do teachers find their work rewarding and satisfying? An article reports the results of a survey of 399 elementary school teachers and 264 high school teachers. Of the elementary school teachers, 223 said they were very satisfied with their jobs, whereas 127 of the high school teachers were very satisfied with their work. Estimate the difference between the proportion of all elementary school teachers who are satisfied and all high school teachers who are satisfied by calculating a 95% CI. (Use pelementary − phigh school. Round your answers to four decimal places.)

If he shoots 25 arrows, what is the probability that he hits the bull's-eye exactly 12 times? Assume each shot is independent of the others. Don't forget to identify the values of n, x, p, and q before computing. If the rate is given to you as a percent, remember to convert to decimal before using as your value for p. Use the binomial probability formula and write your answer as a decimal rounded to four places.arrow_forward
