men and 537 of 1064 women suffered from some form of arthritis.

​a) Are the assumptions and conditions necessary for inference​ satisfied? Why?

​b) Create a​ 95% confidence interval for the difference in the proportions of senior men and women who have this disease.

A researcher has selected a random sample of 120 older residents (age 65+) in Nebraska and asked them how many times they’ve been victimized by crime in the past year. He found that the senior citizens averaged 2.8 victimizations last year. The researcher also has information on the amount of victimization experienced in the entire state. On average, the population of Nebraskans experienced 2.4 victimizations last year, with a standard deviation of 2.7. The researcher wonders whether senior citizens are...
