Question
For this problem, carry at least four digits after the decimal in your calculations. Answers may vary slightly due to rounding.
A random sample of 5400 permanent dwellings on an entire reservation showed that 1606 were traditional hogans.
(a) Let p be the proportion of all permanent dwellings on the entire reservation that are traditional hogans. Find a point estimate for p. (Round your answer to four decimal places.)
(b) Find a 99% confidence interval for p. (Round your answer to three decimal places.)
Give a brief interpretation of the confidence interval.
(c) Do you think that np > 5 and nq > 5 are satisfied for this problem? Explain why this would be an important consideration.
(b) Find a 99% confidence interval for p. (Round your answer to three decimal places.)

Give a brief interpretation of the confidence interval.
1% of the confidence intervals created using this method would include the true proportion of traditional hogans.99% of the confidence intervals created using this method would include the true proportion of traditional hogans. 99% of all confidence intervals would include the true proportion of traditional hogans.1% of all confidence intervals would include the true proportion of traditional hogans.
(c) Do you think that np > 5 and nq > 5 are satisfied for this problem? Explain why this would be an important consideration.
No, the conditions are not satisfied. This is important because it allows us to say that p̂ is approximately normal.Yes, the conditions are satisfied. This is important because it allows us to say that p̂ is approximately binomial. Yes, the conditions are satisfied.

- You are interested in constructing a 95% confidence interval for the proportion of all caterpillars that eventually become butterflies. Of the 390 randomly selected caterpillars observed, 60 lived to become butterflies. Round answers to 4 decimal places where possible. a. With 95% confidence the proportion of all caterpillars that lived to become a butterfly is between and . b. If many groups of 390 randomly selected caterpillars were observed, then a different confidence interval would be produced from each group. About percent of these confidence intervals will contain the true population proportion of caterpillars that become butterflies and about percent will not contain the true population proportion.arrow_forwardIf n=17, x bar = 39, and s=8, find the margin of error at a 99% confidence level.
