Question
marginal error=.01662443, porportion of red candy 5 red candy /38 total candy=.132 red candy total number of candy=38 Use that result to construct a 90% confidency interval
C.Construct a confidence interval. ___ < p <. (Round to three decimal places as needed)
D) Write a statement that correctly interprets the confidence interval. Choose the correct answer bellow
a) One has 99% conficence that the interval from the lower bound to the upper boundactually does contain the true value of the population proportion.
b) 99% of sample proportions will fall between the lower bound and the upper bound.
c) there is a 99% chance that the true value of the population proportion will fall between the lower bound and the upper bound.
d) One has 99% confidence that the sample proportion is equal to the population proportion
Explanation / Answer
p=0.132
and n=38
here std error=(p(1-p)/n)1/2 =0.0548
for 90% CI; z-1.645
therefore 90% confidence interval = p -/+ z*std error =0.041 <p<0.222
D)
a) One has 99% conficence that the interval from the lower bound to the upper boundactually does contain the true value of the population proportion.
