Suppose someone tells you they know that thumbtacks land up 70% of the time. You throw 50 thumbtacks in the air, and find that 41 of them land pointing up. Use the sample collected to conduct a hypothesis test with an α = 0.05 significance level to test the validity of the claim. Be sure to check the conditions of the test and state your conclusion in context.

Consider researching the maximum distance that prospective professional quarterbacks can throw a football. Suppose that 41 NFL draft prospect quarterbacks were asked to throw a football as far as they could. For this sample, the mean distance was 68.9 yards and the sample standard deviation was 5.2 yards. Find a 90% confidence interval for the true mean maximum distance that the population of NFL prospect quarterbacks can throw a ball. Also, find a 90% confidence interval for the true population...
