1.State the 95% confidence interval for the population proportionpin 1994.

2.Consider the relationship between the two confidence intervals for proportions you computed. Do they suggest that we can be fairly confident that the population proportion of divorced Tennesseans in 2004 is actually higher than it was in 1994? Or, is it more statistically sound to say that we can't determine whether the proportion of divorced Tennesseans increased between 1994 and 2004? Explain, using a complete sentence or two.
