Question
A yogurt company claims that it prints a free yogurt coupon under a randomly selected 20% of its lids. A loyal customer purchases 85 yogurt cups, and records whether each was a winner. After consuming all 85 cups, he is disappointed to see that only 12 (14.1%) of his yogurt cups contained coupon codes. He performs a 99% confidence interval for the proportion of yogurt cups containing coupon codes, obtaining (0.044, 0.238). What conclusion can the customer draw about the yogurt company’s claim?
The company’s claim may be justified because 0.2 is in the confidence interval.
The company’s claim is definitely justified because 0.2 is in the confidence interval.
The company’s claim is not justified because the upper endpoint of the confidence interval is 0.238.
The company’s claim is not justified because 12 out of 85 (0.141) is far less than 0.2.

- In a survey of 40 students in an introductory statistics class, a professor asks how many states in the United States each student has visited. Using the data from the professor's sample, a 99% confidence interval for the average number of states all students at the professor's school have visited is found to be (6.78, 12.18). Determine whether each of the following statements is valid or invalid. You may assume that the sample is representative of all students at the professor's school. (a) We are 99% confident that the average number of states visited by the 40 students the professor surveyed is between 6.78 and 12.18. Valid Invalid (b) Based on the 99% confidence interval, there is evidence that the average number of states visited by all students at the professor's school is different from 16.
