The advocacy group the National Safety Council (NSC) reports that cell phone use while driving leads to 1.6 million crashes each year and an astounding out of every 4 car accidents in the United States is caused by texting and driving. Hoping to show that their campaign to create awareness about the dangers of distracted driving is working and that less people are texting and driving, the advocacy group the National Safety Council (NSC) did a study of accidents that occurred in states in which they ran public service announcements and states that they did not. Using the data below, test the hypothesis, at a 95% Confidence Level, that the NSC public service announcements cause a decrease in the average number of crashes. States with NSC Public Service Announcements States without NSC Public Service Announcements n1 = 20 states n2 = 30 states x ̅1 = 785,000 accidents x ̅2 = 815,000 accidents σ1 = 12,000 accidents σ2 = 11,000 accidents Please show all 6 steps of your work.

Many traffic accidents are blamed on motorists who are
distracted by cell phone use while driving. In a 1999 survey, 30%
of adults said that they make phone calls sometimes or frequently
while driving alone. A recent random sample of 500 adults showed
that 165 of them make phone calls sometimes or frequently while
driving alone. At the 1% level of significance, can you conclude
that the current proportion of adults who make such phone calls
exceeds .3?

The National Safety Council routinely analyzes the benefit of
seat belt use on driver safety. Their data showed that among 2823
drivers not wearing seat belts, 31 died as a result of injuries,
and among 7765 drivers wearing seat belts 16 were killed. Test the
hypothesis (at 95% confidence) that there is no difference in the
proportion of deaths between the 2 groups. What do you conclude?
Calculate the margin of error (E) at 95%.

A major insurance company looked at teen cell phone use,
specifically while driving. Eighty-two percent were using phones in
the sample of fifty drivers.
a. Construct the 95% confidence interval for
the proportion of all teenagers that have used cell phones while
driving. (Round answers to 2 decimal
places.)
b. What is the margin of error with 95%
confidence? (Round answer to 2 decimal
places.)

Researchers observed a random sample of drivers and recorded
data about their phone usage while driving. The researchers saw 160
of the 800 women using phones, while 300 of the 1200 men were seen
using phones. The researchers want to test at the 0.05 level of
significance if these results suggest a significant difference
between the proportions of men and women that use their phones
while driving. Assume that all requirements have been met. Give the
null and alternative hypotheses....
