The sample proportion that responded "more strict" was 0.61 (61%). This result will be used to estimate the proportion of all adults in the United States who think that penalties for underage drinking should be more strict. The sample consisted of n = 500 randomly selected adults in the United States Calculate a 95% confidence interval that estimates the population proportion who think that penalties for underage drinking should be more strict.

An investigative reporter examines an SRS of the DMV records for 125 teens; 86 of them passed the test on their first try. A hypothesis test of Ho: P = 0.60 Ha:p # 0.60 where p = the true proportion of teens who pass their driving test on the first attempt using a = 0.05 gives a P-value of 0.0444. A 95% confidence interval for the true proportion of teens who pass the driving test on the first attempt is 0.607 to 0.769. Which is the following statements is not true with regards to the 95% confidence interval provided and the result of the hypothesis test? OA two-sided test only allows us to reject (or fail to reject) a hypothesized value for a particular population parameter. The value 0.60 is not a plausible value because it falls outside the 95% confidence interval.
