The owner of a popular coffee shop wants to determine if there is a difference between the proportion of customers
who use their own cups when they purchase a coffee beverage, and the proportion of customers who use their own
cups when they purchase an espresso beverage. Customers using their own cups get a 5% discount, which is
displayed on the receipt. The owner randomly selects 50 receipts from all coffee purchases and 50 receipts from all
espresso purchases. For coffee purchases, 24 receipts showed that the customer used their own cup. For espresso
purchases, 18 receipts showed that the customer used their own cup. Assuming the conditions for inference have
been met, what is the 99% confidence interval for the difference in proportion of customers who use their own cups?

- In 2018, a consumer goods giant had more than 20 brands with more than $1 billion in annual sales. How does the company create so many successful consumer products? They effectively invests in research and development to understand what consumers want. One method used to determine consumer preferences is called conjoint analysis. Conjoint analysis allows a company to ascertain the utility that a respondent in the conjoint study places on a design of a given product. The higher the utility, the more valuable a respondent finds the design.

Of the 350 elementary school teachers, 142 said they were satisfied with their jobs. Of the 243 high school teachers, 119 said they were satisfied with their jobs. Because of the number of students in elementary classrooms, it is believed that the proportion of elementary school teachers satisfied with their jobs is less than the proportion of high school teachers who are satisfied with their jobs.
