Speedy News survey was used to collect data on how Namibians feel about the quality of newspaper and television news coverage. One question asked whether the respondent believes that the news coverage of the Namibian economy is balanced, too negative, or too Positive.

Use 2 97% confidence. (15) The 8. Tie Tavern wants to estimate the average spending per customer. A sample of 100 ‘customers spent an average of NS35.00 each with a sample standard deviation of NS7.50.

According to a certain survey, 74% of business travelers state that having a smoke-free room is the most important factor.

What is the probability that the sample proportion will be within-t.04 of the population proportion?
