Researchers with Oceana, a group dedicated to preserving the ocean ecosystem, reported finding that 33% of fish sold in retail outlets, grocery stores, and sushi bars throughout the United States had been mislabeled (SAN Francisco Chronicle website, February 21, 2013). Does this mislabeling differ for different species of fish? The following data show the number labeled incorrectly for samples of tuna and mahi mahi.

a. What is the point estimate of the proportion of tuna that is mislabeled?
b. What is the point estimate of the proportion of mahi mahi that is mislabeled?
c. Provide a 95% confidence interval estimate of the difference between the proportion of tuna and mahi mahi that ismislabeled.
