[second test]

p. 280 - 3, 5, 7, 13, 15, 17 [I shall cover this section with confidence intervals for proportions (section 7.3, p. 312); I included problems 13, 15, 17 so you will know that data and questions can be expressed either in terms of proportions or raw count, but you must convert everything to proportions (or everything to raw count) to solve the problem]
p. 294 - 1, 3, 5, 7
p. 304 - 1 (I do not cover the t-distribution, this is a reminder that if the population standard deviation sigma is known, you use the normal distribution no matter how small n is if the underlying population is normal)
