Question 6 1.5
/ 1.5 pts

You asked a sample of individuals what kind of animal is their favorite.

Of the 167 individuals in your sample, 52 of them answered "dog". 

Which of the following gives a 95% confidence interval for the true
percentage of individuals whose favorite animal is a dog.

 
(23.4%, 38.9%)

 
(16.8%, 32.3%)

 
(3.16%, 3.26%)

Question 7 1.5
/ 1.5 pts

A news article reports that 52% of voters plan to vote for Vicente and
48% of voters plan to vote for Raul. 

The margin of error is 3%.

Is there enough statistical evidence to say that Vicente is in the lead?

 
Yes. Because the confidence intervals don't overlap we have enough
evidence to say the parameters are different.
