84) A random sample of 40 adults with no children under the age of 18 years results in a mean daily leisure time of 5.22 hours, with a standard deviation of 2.31 hours. A random sample of 40 adults with children under the age of 18 results in a mean daily leisure time of 4.29 hours, with a standard deviation of 1.58 hours. Construct and interpret a 90% confidence interval for the mean difference in leisure time between adults with no children and adults with children (μ
1 - μ
2)
What is the interpretation of this confidence interval?
A. There is 90% confidence that the difference of the means is in the interval. Conclude that there is insufficient evidence of a significant difference in the number of leisure hours
B. There is a 90% probability that the difference of the means is in the interval. Conclude that there is a significant difference in the number of leisure hours
C. There is 90% confidence that the difference of the means is in the interval. Conclude that there is a significant difference in the number of leisure hours

85) The first significant digit in any number must be 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, or 9. It was discovered that first digits do not occur with equal frequency. Probabilities of occurrence to the first digit in a number are shown in the accompanying table. The probability distribution is now known as Benford's Law. For example, the following distribution represents the first digits in 231 allegedly fraudulent checks written to a bogus company by an employee attempting to embezzle funds from his employer.
| Digit | Probability |
| 1 | 0.301 |
| 2 | 0.176 |
| 3 | 0.125 |
| 4 | 0.097 |
| 5 | 0.079 |

| 7 | 0.058 |
| 8 | 0.051 |
| 9 | 0.046 |

| 4 | 20 |
| 5 | 24 |
| 6 | 36 |
| 7 | 15 |
| 8 | 16 |
| 9 | 7 |
Complete parts (a) and (b).
(a) Using the level of significance α = 0.05, test whether the first digits in the allegedly fraudulent checks obey Benford's Law. Do the first digits obey the Benford's Law?
Yes or No
Based o the results of part (a), could one think that the employe is guilty of embezzlement?
