Fewer young people are driving. In 1983, 87% of 19-year-olds had a driver's license. Twenty-five years later that percentage had dropped to 75% (University of Michigan Transportation Research Institute website, April 7, 2012). Suppose these results are based on a random sample of 1200 19-year-olds in 1983and again in 2008. a. At 95% confidence, what is the margin of error and the internal estimate of the number of 19-year old drivers in 19SS? b. At 95 6 confidence, what is the margin of error and the interval estimate of the number of 19-year old drivers in 2008? c.Is the margin of error the same in parts (a) and (b)? Why or why not?

The Kaiser Family Foundation comissioned an extensive survey in 2004 that investigated the degree to which American youth from ages 8 - 18 have access to various forms of media. They distributed written questionnaires to a random sample of 2032 youths in this age range. Among the 2032 youths who were sampled, 49 % reported having a video game player and 31 % reported having a computer in their bedroom. Round your answers to three decimal places, if required. a. Determine a 90 % confidence interval for the population proportion of American youths who have a video game player in their bedrooms. b. Repeat part a for the proportion who have a computer in their bedrooms. c. Determine the margin-of-error (half-width) for each of these confidence intervals. The margin-of-error for the 90 % CI for the population proportion of American youths who have a video game player in their bedroom is The margin-of-error for the 90 %0 CI for the population proportion of American youths who have a computer…
