2. The manager of a quick service convenience store wants to estimate the difference in the proportion of customers who
would purchase a specialty drink if a pop-up advertisement appeared on the self-service kiosk screen before the
customer completed the order. To investigate, the kiosk was programmed to flip a virtual coin for each customer. If
the virtual coin toss came up heads, the kiosk would display an advertisement for a specialty drink. If the virtual coin
toss came up tails, no advertisement was displayed. For each customer, the kiosk recorded whether or not an
advertisement was displayed and whether or not a specialty drink was ordered
* 2- Prop. Z - Int
(a) The manger found that 48 of the 82 customers who received an advertisement purchased a specialty drink and 31
of the 86 customers who did not receive an advertisement purchased a specialty drink. Construct and interpret a

specialty drink when shown the advertisement and the proportion who would purchase the specialty drink without
