Answer to Problem 108E

  0.5397<p<0.7063

Explanation of Solution

Given:

  n=130p^=62.3%=0.623p=0.5

Formula used:

  E=zα/2×p^(1p^)n

Calculation:

There are total three conditions when performing a significance test about a population proportion: Random, Normal and Independent.

Random: Satisfied, because of given random sample.

Normal: Satisfied, because the number of successes np=130(0.5)=65 and the number of failures n(1p)=130(10.5)=65 are both greater than 10.

Independent: Satisfied, because the sample size of 130 is less than 10% of the population size.

Therefore it is observed that all three conditions have been met.

For confidence level 1α=0.95 , determine zα/2=z0.025 using table II (look up 0.025 in the table, the z-score is then they found z-score with opposite sign):

  zα/2=1.96

The margin of error is then:

  E=zα/2×p^(1p^)n=1.96×0.623(10.623)130=0.0833

The confidence interval then becomes:

  0.5397=0.6230.0833=p^E<p<p^+E=0.623+0.0833=0.7063
