Population proportion__________

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

Confidence interval________and_______

Explanation / Answer

(a) Estimate the value of the population proportion.

Solution: sample size(n) = 450

population Proportion = 200/450 = 0.445

(b) Develop a 99 percent confidence interval for the population proportion.

Solution: Let X = the number of people want a new show. X is binomial. X ~ B(450, 200/450)

To calculate the confidence interval, WE must find p', q', and EBP.

n = 450

x = the number of successes = 200

p
