The 2010 General Social Survey asked the question: “For how many days during the past 30 days was your mental health, which includes stress, depression, and problems with emotions, not good?” Based on responses from 1,151 US residents, the survey reported a 95% confidence interval of 3.40 to 4.24 days in 2010.

(a) Interpret this interval in the context of the data.

(b) What does “95% confidence” mean? Explain in the context of the application.

(c) Suppose the researchers think a 99% confidence level would be more appropriate for this interval. Will this new interval be smaller or larger than the 95% confidence interval?

Workers are compensated by firms with benefits in addition to wages and salaries. the most prominent benefit offered by many firms is health insurance. Suppose that in 2000 workers at one steel plant were paid $20 per hour and in addition received health benefits at the rate of $4 per hour. Also suppose that by 2010 workers at that plant were paid $21 per hour but received $9 in health insurance benefits.
a. By what percentage did total compensation(wages plus benefits) change at this plant from 2000 to 2010? What was the approximate average annual percentage change in total compensation?

Al’s son filed his 2010 Federal income tax return on February 28, 2011. On that return, the son claimed a personal exemption deduction for himself. He also claimed $1,129 in refundable tax credits and $75 withheld tax, resulting in a refund of $1,204.

Al’s daughter also filed her 2010 Federal income tax return on February 28, 2011. She reported gross income of $11,892 and claimed a personal exemption deduction for herself and a dependent exemption deduction for Candy(her daughter and Al’s granddaughter). The daughter also claimed $4,450 in refundable credits and $840 withheld tax, resulting in a refund of $5,290.
