Question

n a survey of 3300 adults, 1499 say they have started paying bills online in the last year. Construct a 99% confidence interval for the population proportion. Interpret the results. A 99% confidence interval for the population proportion is OD Round to three decimal places as needed.) nterpret your results. Choose the correct answer below. O A. The endpoints of the given confidence interval show that adults pay bills online 99% of the time. O B. With 99% confidence, it can be said that the sample proportion of adults who say they have started paying bills online in the last year is between the endpoints of the given confidence interval

Explanation / Answer

Ans:

Given that

sample proportion=1499/3300=0.4542

99% confidence interval for population proportion,p

=0.4542+/-2.58*sqrt(0.4542*(1-0.4542)/3300)

=0.4542+/-0.0224

=(0.432, 0.477)

Option C is correct.
