Question #1
A marketing survey involves product recognition in New York and California. Of 558 New Yorkers surveyed, 193 knew the product while 196 out of 614 Californians knew the product. Construct a 99% confidence interval for the difference between the two population proportions.
A.   (-0.0443, 0.0976)
B.   (-0.0177, 0.1243)
C.   (-0.0034, 0.0566) 
D.   (0.0247, 0.0286)
Question #2
The concentration of hexane (a common solvent) was measured in units of micrograms per liter for a simple random sample of fourteen specimens of untreated ground water taken near a municipal landfill. The sample mean was 241.8 with a sample standard deviation of 8.8. Ten specimens of treated ground water had an average hexane concentration of 149.5 with a standard deviation of 7.4. It is reasonable to assume that both samples come from populations that are approximately normal. Construct a 95% confidence interval for the reduction of hexane concentration after treatment.
A.   (84.8, 99.8)
B.   (91.0, 93.6)
C.   (89.7, 94.9)
D.   (88.6, 96.0)
