5. Suppose a larger (independent) random sample of 100 Ann Arbor residents is taken and the 90% confidence interval was calculated to be (0.54, 0.70). How many of the 100 Ann Arbor residents in this sample plan on reading a book next month? Additionally, what is the 90% margin of error for this 90% confidence interval? Hint: don't overthink this one!

Expert Solution
Step 1: Introduction

The number of random samples is n=100

The 90% confidence interval is (0.54,0.70)so the 

lower limit =0.54

Upper limit =0.70

α=0.1

Now, the confidence interval for the mean is given as 

x-Zα2sn<μ<x+Zα2sn    (for n>30)
