Question
A student would like to estimate the proportion of the senior class that plans to attend prom this year. The student goes to the guidance office and gets a list of the names of all 274 seniors. Using the list, she selects a simple random sample of 50 students and finds that 76% of the selected students plan to attend prom this year. She would like to construct a 95% confidence interval for the proportion of the entire senior class that plans to attend prom this year. Are the conditions for inference met?
- (A) Yes, all conditions for inference are met.
- (B) No, although the random and large counts conditions are met, the 10% condition is not met.
- (C) No, although the random and 10% conditions are met, the large counts condition is not met.
- (D) No, there are two conditions for inference that are not met.
- (E) No, none of the conditions for inference are met.
