Tonight, please complete the "Pop Quiz" worksheet provided in class! This just counts as homework for tonight, but it would've been a quiz--so these are some things I expect you to know how to do at this point!

**Also, please be sure to add (and answer) the following questions! If these are missing you will only earn half credit!**

6.) Create a 90% confidence interval using your graphing calculator. (Press STAT, go to TESTS, choose ONE PROP Z INT, then enter the x, n, and confidence level; then choose calculate). You should get (0.72924, 0.75076).

7.) Interpret the meaning of the 90% confidence interval (0.72924, 0.75076).


And here are the rest of the homework questions in case you lost yours:
