a random sample of 1000 car owners in a particular city found 150 car owners who received a speeding ticket this year. find a 95% confidence interval for the true percent of car owners in this city who received a speeding ticket this year.

Respuesta :

The confidence interval for the true percent of car owners in the city  who received a speeding ticket be, (139.27 , 160.73).

Subtract 1 from your sample size. 1000 – 1 = 999. This provides the degrees of freedom.

Subtract the confidence level from 1, and then divide by two.

(1 – .95) / 2 = .025

Now, df = 999 and α = 0.025

from the table at df = 999 we got 2.262.

Divide your sample standard deviation by the square root of your sample size.

150 / √(10) = 4.74

Now, 2.262 × 4.74 = 10.73

So, the confidence interval be,

(150 - 10.73 , 150 + 10.73) = (139.27 , 160.73)

Hence, the confidence interval for the true percent of car owners in the city  who received a speeding ticket be, (139.27 , 160.73).
