Based on survey of a representative sample of 1000 adult Americans, YouGov estimated that the proportion of adult Americans who have less than $1000 in savings is 0.430 (“People More Likely to Save with an Opt-Out System,” today.yougov.com/news/2016/04/25/savings/). The margin of error for a 95% confidence level associated with this estimate is 0.03. Show how this margin of error was calculated.

Estimate the true mean GPA of the freshman class with 99% confidence.
A Fair Isaac Corporation (FICO) score is used by credit agencies such as banks to determine whether to lend money and the interest rate to charge. Its value ranges
from 300 to 850 and if you have a score over 700, you are considered to be a "quality" credit risk. The mean credit score of average income earners in California is
estimated by Fair Isaac to be 664. A recent survey of 47 high income earners in California had a mean FICO score of 677 and a standard deviation of s=60. Use a 0.05
significance level to test the claim that the mean FICO score of high income earners in California is equal to 664, the mean score of average income earners in
California.
A recent survey found that 35 people out of a sample of 410 South Africans suffer from diabetes. Construct a 95% confidence interval for the true proportion of all South Africans who suffer from diabetes.
