The FBI wants to determine the effectiveness of their 10 Most Wanted list. To do so, they need to find out the fraction
of people who appear on the list that are actually caught.
Step 2 of 2: Suppose a sample of 306 suspected criminals is drawn. Of these people, 100 were captured. Using the
data, construct the 85% confidence interval for the population proportion of people who are captured after
appearing on the 10 Most Wanted list. Round your answers to three decimal places.

Expert Solution
Step 1

We need to construct the confidence interval for the population proportion. 

confidence interval for population proportion for large random samples is given by

CI=p^±zcp^(1-p^)n

Where p^ is sample proportion
