(b) Suppose a random sample of 493 television ads in the United States reveals that 134 of these ads use humor. Find a point estimate of and a 95 percent confidence interval for the proportion of all U.S. television ads that use humor. (Round your answers to 3 decimal places.)

  = The 95 percent confidence interval is [ , ].  

(c) Do the confidence intervals you computed in parts a and b suggest that a greater percentage of U.K. ads use humor, the U.K. 95 percent confidence interval is the maximum value in the confidence interval for the U.S.
