The following data represents these sales figures in thousands of dollars.

If Population 1 is defined as the year 2012 and Population 2 is defined as the year 2011, the 90% confidence interval for the difference in population means is ________. Round values to two decimal places.

A. (0.36, 15.64)

B.(-3.46, 19.46)

C. (3.45, 12.55)

2) A telephone company would like to test the hypothesis that the proportion of 18-to 34-year-olds that own a cell phone is less than the proportion of 35-to 49-year-olds. A random sample of 200 18-to 34-year-olds found that 126 owned a smartphone. A random sample of 175 35-to 49-year-olds found that 119 owned a smartphone. If Population 1 is defined as 18-to 34-year-olds and Population 2 is defined as 35-to 49-year-olds, the pooled estimate for the overall proportion is ________. Round to three decimal places.

A. 0.680

B. 0.608

C. 0.653

D. 0.627

3) A telephone company would like to test the hypothesis that the proportion of 18-to 34-year-olds that own a cell phone is less than the proportion of 35-to 49-year-olds. A random sample of 200 18-to 34-year-olds found that 126 owned a smartphone. A random sample of 175 35-to 49-year-olds found that 119 owned a smartphone. If Population 1 is defined as 18-to 34-year-olds and Population 2 is defined as 35-to 49-year-olds, the p-value for this hypothesis test is ________.

A. 0.1025
