Question:

Refer to Exercise 51.

a. Construct and interpret a 95% confidence interval for the true proportion p of all teens in the state who passed their driving test on the first attempt. Assume that the conditions for inference are met.

b. Explain why the interval in part (a) provides more information than the test in Exercise 51.


Exercise 51.

A state’s Division of Motor Vehicles (DMV) claims that 60% of all teens pass their driving test on the first attempt. An investigative reporter examines an SRS of the DMV records for 125 teens; 86 of them passed the test on their first try. Is there convincing evidence at the α = 0.05 significance level that the DMV’s claim is incorrect?
