  1. In a poll of 1961 randomly selected U.S. adults, 1137 said that they do not believe that abstinence programs are effective in reducing or preventing AIDS.\r\n

    1. At the 2% significance level, do the data provide sufficient evidence to conclude that a majority of all U.S. adults feel that way?<\/li>\r\n \t
    2. Obtain a 98% confidence interval for the percentage of U.S. adults who believe that abstinence programs are effective in reducing or preventing AIDS.<\/li>\r\n \t
