- Students at a certain college were asked if they have a car. After surveying 601 students, it was found that 40.3% of them have a car. The margin of error was 4% with a 95% confidence level.

A recent poll asked 1,035 parents who have children in grades K-12 if they were satisfied with the quality of education the students receive. Of the 1,035 surveyed, 497 indicated that they were satisfied. Construct a 90% confidence interval to assess whether this represents evidence that parents' attitudes toward the quality of education have changed. What are the null and alternative hypotheses? HP versus H₁: p (Round to two decimal places as needed.) Use technology to find the 90% confidence interval. The lower bound is The upper bound is (Round to two decimal places as needed.) What is the correct conclusion? OA. Since the interval contains the proportion stated in the null hypothesis, there is sufficient evidence that parents' attitudes toward the quality of education have changed. OB. Since the interval does not contain the proportion stated in the…arrow_forwardIn a sample of 480 adults, 384 had children.
