Explanation / Answer

Solution:- Given n = 633 , X = 397
  
p = 397/633 = 0.627 , q = 1 - p = 1 - 0.627 = 0.373
  
90% confidence interval for Z is 1.645

95% confidence interval for Z is 1.96

=> The 90% confidence interval for the population proportion p is (0.595 , 0.659)
=> p +/- Z * sqrt(pq/n)
= 0.627 +/- 1.645 * sqrt(0.627*0.373/633)
= (0.595 , 0.659)

=> The 95% confidence interval for the population proportion p is (0.589 , 0.665)
=> p +/- Z * sqrt(pq/n)
= 0.627 +/- 1.96 * sqrt(0.627*0.373/633)
= (0.589 , 0.665)

=> option B.

=> option B. The 95% confidence interval
