QUESTION:

For Exercises 27 to 30, check whether each of the conditions is met for calculating a confidence interval for the population proportion p. Whelks and mussels The small round holes you often see in sea shells were drilled by other sea creatures, who ate the former dwellers of the shells. Whelks often drill into mussels, but this behavior appears to be more or less common in different locations. Researchers collected whelk eggs from the coast of Oregon, raised the whelks in the laboratory, then put each whelk in a container with some delicious mussels. Only 9 of 98 whelks drilled into a mussel.11 The researchers want to estimate the proportion p of Oregon whelks that will spontaneously drill into mussels.
