Question

A survey of 1000 people was conducted. 44% said they found it hard to adopt a child in the US. margin of sampling is + or - 3%. with a 95% confidence level.

Use the margin of error for a confidence interval estimate.

Whart population parameter are we estimating for this sample statistic

Expert Solution
Step 1: Mentioning the given data and stating the objective

The given data is as follows:

Sample size, straight n equals 1000

Sample proportion, straight p with hat on top equals 44 percent sign space or space 0.44

Margin of error, straight E equals plus-or-minus 3 percent sign space or space plus-or-minus 0.03

Confidence level, CL equals 0.95


The objective is to use the margin of error for estimating the confidence interval and to determine the population parameter that is being estimated for this sample statistic
