The findings revealed that 32% of the respondents were in favor of taxing these types of foods. > "32% favor ‘sin taxes’ on soda, junk food”, Rasmussen Reports, April 1, 2011.### Statistical Analysis**(a) 90% Confidence Interval Calculation:**To determine the confidence interval for the proportion of US adults who favor taxes on soda and junk food, follow these steps:1. **Identify the sample proportion (p):** - Proportion (p) = 0.322. **Determine the standard error (SE) using the formula:** - SE = sqrt [ p(1 - p) / n ] - Where n is the sample size (1000 adults)3. **Calculate the margin of error (ME) for a 90% confidence level:** - For a 90% confidence level, the z-value (z*) is approximately 1.645. - ME = z* * SE4. **Construct the confidence interval:** - Lower limit = p - ME - Upper limit = p + ME**Compute the confidence interval and round the results to three decimal places:**The 90% confidence interval is \(\_\_\_\) to \(\_\_\_\).

Confidence interval is a type of estimate computed from the statistics of the observed data. This…
