3. In a recent poll of 900 randomly selected adults, 333 reported that they could not swim 24 yards (the length of a typical gymnasium lap pool). We want to construct a 95% confidence interval for the proportion of adults that cannot swim 24 yards. [Note: Assume the conditions required for this procedure have been satisfied.] a. Calculate the margin of error for the 95% confidence interval. Round to the nearest thousandth (third decimal place). b. Construct the 95% confidence interval for the proportion of adults who cannot swim 24 yards. Round to the nearest thousandth (third decimal place). c. A life guard claims that 30% of all adults cannot swim 24 yards. Does the confidence interval in part (c) support that claim? Explain.
