CNN is conducting a poll, and wants to produce a 90% confidence interval for the proportion of all New York residents who favor legalizing recreational marijuana. Of the 602 randomly selected New Yorkers surveyed, 394 were in favor of the initiative. a. With 90% confidence, the proportion of New York residents who favor legalizing recreational marijuana is between BLANK and BLANK. b. Suppose that we survey 602 randomly selected Americans many times, and calculate a confidence interval for each group. About Blank . percent of these confidence intervals will contain the true population proportion of New Yorkers who favor legalizing recreational marijuana, and about BLANK percent will not contain the true population proportion.
