For this assignment we will find an article which has a confidence interval. It can be a confidence interval for the proportion or the mean. Then do the following:

1. Include link or paste article into document.
2. Explain the context of the confidence interval. In other words, state clearly what the particular confidence interval represents. Please look at chapter 8 to find examples of how confidence intervals are used and interpreted. Use those examples as a guide to explain the context of the confidence interval you've chosen in the article.
3. Is it possible that the true population proportion or population mean (depending on what you're estimating) is not contained in the interval?
4. If you're told that a particular proportion or mean is supposed to be the correct population parameter, but your confidence interval doesn't contain that value, what might you conclude about the given parameter? To answer this question, give two explanations (labeled a and b) of why the given parameter (proportion or mean) would not be in the interval, and which of the two explanations is more likely given a random and representative sample.
