Question
100%
Use the sample data and confidence level given below to complete parts (a) through (d).
A research institute poll asked respondents if they felt vulnerable to identity theft. In the poll, n = 958 and x = 572 who said "yes." Use a 95% confidence level.
Click the icon to view a table of z scores.
a) Find the best point estimate of the population proportion p.
0.597
(Round to three decimal places as needed.)
b) Identify the value of the margin of error E.
E=0.031
(Round to three decimal places as needed.)
c) Construct the confidence interval.
0.566 <p< 0.628
(Round to three decimal places as needed.)
d) Write a statement that correctly interprets the confidence interval. Choose the correct answer below.
OA. One has 95% confidence that the interval from the lower bound to the upper bound actually does contain the true value of the population proportion.
OB. One has 95% confidence that the sample proportion is equal to the population proportion.
OC. There is a 95% chance that the true value of the population proportion will fall between the lower bound and the upper bound.
OD. 95% of sample proportions will fall between the lower bound and the upper bound.
