As the automobile accident rate increases, insurers are forced to increase their premium rates. Companies such as Allstate have recently been running a campaign they hope will result in fewer accidents by their policyholders.
 
  For each six-month period that a customer goes without an accident, Allstate will reduce the customer's premium rate by a certain percentage. Companies like Allstate have reason to be concerned about driving habits, based on a survey conducted by Drive for Life, a safety group sponsored by Volvo of North America, in which 1,100 drivers were surveyed. Among those surveyed, 74 said that careless or aggressive driving was the biggest threat on the road. One-third of the respondents said that cell phone usage by other drivers was the driving behavior that annoyed them the most.Based on these data, assuming that the sample was a simple random sample, construct and interpret a 95 confidence interval estimate for the true proportion in the population of all drivers who are annoyed by cell phone users.A) (0.313, 0.347 )
  B) (0.306, 0.354 )
  C) (0.302, 0.358 )
  D) (0.316, 0.344 )

Question 2

Three events occur with probabilities P(E1 ) = 0.35, P(E2 ) = 0.15, P(E3 ) = 0.40. If the event B occurs, the probability becomes P(E1B) = 0.25, P(B) = 0.30.
 
  Assume that E1, E2, and E3 are independent events. Calculate P(E1 and E2 and E3 ).
  A) 0.575
  B) 0.075
  C) 0.021
  D) 0.475

Dogs have been used in studies to detect various cancers in human subjects. They have been trained to sniff breath samples from humans that were collected by having them breathe into special tubes. These people included 55 lung cancer patients, 31 breast cancer patients, and 83 cancer-free patients. The dogs detected 54 of the 55 lung cancer patients as having cancer, detected 28 of the 31 breast cancer patients, and gave only three false-positive results (detecting cancer in people who didn't have it).
