1) One Proportion          (8.2)                 Nationally, roughly 14% of adults fail to wear their seatbelt on every car trip. Suppose we find that 6 of 31 drivers in Rochester are not wearing their seatbelt. a) What sample proportion of drivers weren’t wearing their belt?                 b) Run the following hypothesis test from your sample. (z*=1.650 1-tail)                                 H0: p=0.14                                 HA: p>0.14                 c) Explain what your conclusion means in the context of this situation.

3.    You would like to estimate the proportion of student loan debts that are in default. You randomly select 211 people who have student loans and find that 25 are in default. A.    Construct a 95% confidence interval to estimate the proportion of student loans that are in default. (Round your sample proportion to 4 decimal points as well as round your margin of error to 4 decimal points. For example, .23916 would be .2392 and this represents...
