Math Problem Statement
A simple random sample of front-seat occupants involved in car crashes is obtained. Among 2975 occupants not wearing seat belts, 35 were killed. Among 7864 occupants wearing seat belts, 16 were killed. Compute a 95% confidence interval to investigate whether occupants not wearing seat belts are more likely to be killed in a car crash.
We can be 95% confident that front-seat occupants not wearing seatbelts are between
