Question

The Fox TV network is considering replacing one of its prime-time crime investigation shows with a new family-oriented comedy show. Before a final decision is made, network executives commission a sample of 450 viewers. After viewing the comedy, 200 indicated they would watch the new show and suggested it replace the crime investigation show.

A.Estimate the value of the population proportion. (Round your answer to 3 decimal places.)

Population proportion__________

B.Determine the 99% confidence interval for the population proportion. (Round your answers to 3 decimal places.)

Confidence interval________and_______

Explanation / Answer

Population proportion = 200/450

=0.44

Confidence interval = ( p - z*sqrt( (p(1-p))/n ), p + z*sqrt( (p(1-p))/n ) )

=(0.44-2.5758*sqroot(0.44*(1-0.44))/400, 0.44+2.5758*sqroot(0.44*(1-0.44))/400))

= (0.4431 , 0.4368) is the required interval
