4. Estimate the parameters below: a. Give a 95% confidence interval estimate for the mean of a population based on a sample of size 100 with sample mean 40 and standard deviation 64. b. Give a 95% confidence interval estimate for the proportion of "yes" votes in a population based on a sample of 1000 with 400 'yes' votes and 600 'no' votes. [This is how exit polling works - get a sample of people who have voted and estimate the voting proportions of those yet to vote.]
