Question

For this problem, carry at least four digits after the decimal in your calculations. Answers may vary slightly due to rounding.

In a random sample of 522 judges, it was found that 285 were introverts.

(a) Let p represent the proportion of all judges who are introverts. Find a point estimate for p. (Round your answer to four decimal places.)

(b) Find a 99% confidence interval for p. (Round your answers to two decimal places.)

  • lower limit
  • upper limit

(c) Give a brief interpretation of the meaning of the confidence interval you have found.

  • 1. We are 1% confident that the true proportion of judges who are introverts falls above this interval.
  • 2. We are 99% confident that the true proportion of judges who are introverts falls within this interval.    
  • 3. We are 1% confident that the true proportion of judges who are introverts falls within this interval.
  • 4. We are 99% confident that the true proportion of judges who are introverts falls outside this interval.
