The researchers defined “frequent binge drinking” as having five or more drinks in a row three or more times in the past two weeks. According to this definition, 2486 students were classified as frequent binge drinkers. Construct and interpret a 99% confidence interval for the proportion of students who are classified as binge drinkers. (Use the four-step process and Table A to get your z* value.) Using the interval that you calculated in the last question, conclude in context for the question.arrow_forward1.
