Construct a 90% confidence interval estimate of the population percentage of candies that are red
___% < p < __%
(An integer or round to 1 decimal place as needed)
Is the result consistent with the 34% rate that is reported by the candy maker?
a) Yes, because the confidence interval includes 34%
b) No, because the confidence interval doesn't include 34%

- CNN is conducting a poll, and wants to produce a 90% confidence interval for the proportion of all New York residents who favor legalizing recreational marijuana. Of the 602 randomly selected New Yorkers surveyed, 394 were in favor of the initiative. a. With 90% confidence, the proportion of New York residents who favor legalizing recreational marijuana is between BLANK and BLANK. b.
