Question
Fear of the dark is quite common among children. However, what about adults? One polling agency released the results of a survey that asked people over 30 years old if they keep the lights on at night. Among 452 respondents, 34% indeed leave the light on when going to sleep.
What does this margin of error tell you about the percentage of adults who keep the lights on at night?
We can be 95% confident that somewhere between % and % of adults keep the lights on at night. |

The data are from two surveys. The adult survey had 1063 gamers, while the teen survey had 1064 gamers. The memo reports that 54% of adult gamers played on game consoles (Xbox, PlayStation, Wii, etc.), while 89% of teen gamers played on game consoles. Suppose you want to construct a 95% confidence interval for the difference. You want to test were or not the two proportions (adult using consoles vs teens using consoles) are the same. You have to calculate a pooled estimate for the proportion. What would that be?
