A survey conducted by a research team was to investigate how the education level, tenure in current employment, and age are related to annual income. The estimated multiple linear regression equation that can be used to predict the annual income given number of years school completed (Education), length of tenure in current employment, and age can be written as
ŷ =−143481.19+10011.92Education−2193.88Tenure+2689.24Age{"version":"1.1","math":"\hat y = -143481.19 + 10011.92 Education - 2193.88 Tenure + 2689.24 Age"}
The standard error on the education coefficient is 2570. We can say that
a. the coefficient on education is statistically significant at the one percent level
b. none of the above
c. as the length of tenure increases annual income rises
d. the coefficient on education is not statistically significant

Resistance training is a popular form of conditioning aimed at enhancing sports performance and is widely used among high school, college, and professional athletes, although its use for younger athletes is controversial. Researchers obtained a random sample of 4094 patients between the ages of 8 and 30 who were admitted to U. S. emergency rooms with injuries classified by the Consumer Product Safety Commission code "weight-lifting." These injuries were further classified as " accidental" if caused by dropped weight or improper equipment use. Of the 4094 weight-lifting injuries, 1681 were classified as accidental.
What is a 95% confidence interval for the proportion of weight-lifting injuries in this age group that were accidental?
The 95% confidence interval (±±0.001) is from to
