a. Suppose a random sample of 100 Americans is asked, "Are you satisfied with the way things are going in your life?" Is the response to this question qualitative or quantitative? Explain.

c. Describe the sampling distribution of p, the proportion of Americans who are satisfied with the way things are going in their life. Be sure to verify the model requirements.
d. In the sample obtained in part (a), what is the probability the proportion who are satisfied with the way things are going in their life exceeds 0.85?
