6. Are sexually active teenagers any better informed about AIDS and other potential health problems related to sex than teenagers who are sexually inactive? A 15 -item test of general knowledge about sex and health was administered to non-random samples of teens who are sexually inactive, teens who are sexually active but with one single partner (going steady) and teens who are sexually active with more than one partner. Is there a significant difference in test scores? What do the results suggest? \begin{tabular}{|l|c|c|c|c|c|c|} \hline Inactive & 10 & 12 & 8 & 10 & 8 & 5 \\ \hline \begin{tabular}{l} Active with one \\ Partner \end{tabular} & 11 & 11 & 6 & 5 & 15 & 10 \\ \hline \begin{tabular}{l} Active with more \\ than one partner \end{tabular} & 12 & 12 & 10 & 4 & 3 & 15 \\ \hline \end{tabular}

A recent survey in the United States reported the prevalence of a sexually transmitted disease called chlamydia among 14 to 39-year-olds is 1.7% (95% CI = 1.4% – 2.0%). What is the margin of error associated with this survey's estimate of the prevalence of chlamydia? Suppose the prevalence of chlamydia among 14 to 39-year-olds in Great Britain is 1%. Do you think that the United States and Great Britain have the same true population prevalence of chlamydia among 14-39-year-olds, why?
