a. Conditions 2 and 3 needed for the sampling distribution of P^{^} to be approximately normal are met because this result is based on a large random sample of adults. Explain how Condition 1 is also met.

b. The article also said that (based on the same survey) "37 percent of adults report being so sleepy during the day that it interferes with their daytime activities." If in truth, 40% of all adults have this problem, find the interval in which about 95% of all sample proportions should fall, based on samples of size 1027. Does the result of this survey fall into that interval?

c. Suppose that a survey based on a random sample of 1027 college students was conducted and 25% reported being so sleepy during the day that it interferes with their daytime activities. Would it be reasonable to conclude that the population proportion of college students who have this problem differs from the proportion of all adults who have the problem [using p = .4 from part (b)]? Explain.
