3. In 2005, the Gallup Poll estimated that 32% of adults believe in ghosts. In a random sample of 200 young adults (ages 18-29), 38% said they believed in ghosts. Is this evidence that young adults are more likely to believe in ghosts?

Part III (Focusing on Chapter 18-19) 

4. Insurance companies are interested in knowing the mean weight of cars currently licensed in the United States; they believe it is 3000 pounds. To see if the estimate is correct, they check a random sample of 80 cars. For that group, the mean weight was 2910 pounds with a standard deviation of 532 pounds. Is this strong evidence that the mean weight of all cars is not 3000 pounds?
