In a representative sample of 50 American households, 32 households had a pet. Use this sample data to answer the following questions. A. Use Minitab Express to construct a 95% confidence interval to estimate the proportion of all American households with a pet. Show how you checked assumptions. If assumptions were met, use the normal approximation method. Remember to include all relevant Minitab Express output and to clearly identify your answer. Other than checking assumptions, do not do any hand...

Lucy Baker is analyzing demographic characteristics of two television programs, American Idol (population 1) and 60 Minutes (population 2). Previous studies indicate no difference in the ages of the two audiences. (The mean age of each audience is the same.) Her staff randomly selected 100 people from each audience, and reported the following: sample mean for population 1 = 43 years and sample mean for population 2 = 45 years. Assume that σ 1 = 5 and σ 2 =...
