Direct mail advertisers send solicitations ("junk mail") to thousands of potential customers in the hope that some will buy the company's product. The response rate is usually quite low. Suppose a company wants to test the response to a new flyer and sends it to 1020 people randomly selected from their mailing list of over 200,000 people. They get orders from 117 of the recipients. Create a 95% confidence interval for the percentage of people the company contacts who may buy something. (Round to one decimal place) (___%,___%)

Privacy is a concern for many users of the Internet. One survey showed that 95% of Internet users are somewhat concerned about the confidentiality of their e-mail. Based on this information, what is the probability that for a random sample of 10 Internet users, 6 are concerned about the privacy of their e-mail?

Surveys tend to suffer from low response rates. Based on past experience, a researcher determines that the typical response rate for an e-mail survey is $40 \% .$ She wishes to obtain a sample of 300 respondents, so she e-mails the survey to 1500 randomly selected e-mail addresses. Assuming the response rate for her survey is $40 \%,$ will the respondents form an unbiased sample? Explain.
