An article reported that, in a study of a particular wafer inspection process, 356 dies were examined by an inspection probe and 185 of these passed the probe. Assuming a stable process, calculate a 95% (two-sided) confidence interval for the proportion of all dies that pass the probe. (Round your answers to three decimal places.)

It was reported that in a survey of 4799 American youngsters aged 6 to 19, 18% were seriously overweight (a body mass index of at least 30; this index is a measure of weight relative to height). Calculate a confidence interval using a 99% confidence level for the proportion of all American youngsters who are seriously overweight. (Round your answers to three decimal places.)

 
  ,  
 



Interpret the resulting interval.

We are 99% confident that the true proportion of American youngsters who are seriously overweight is outside this interval.We are 99% confident that the true proportion of American youngsters who are seriously overweight is above this interval.    We are 99% confident that the true proportion of American youngsters who are seriously overweight is within this interval.We are 99% confident that the true proportion of American youngsters who are seriously overweight is below this interval.
