The data given to the right includes data from 34 ​candies, and 10 of them are red. The company that makes the candy claims that 29​% of its candies are red. Use the sample data to construct a 95​% confidence interval estimate of the percentage of red candies. What do you conclude about the claim of 29​%? Construct a 95 % confidence interval estimate of the population percentage of candies that are red.

Respuesta :

Answer:  We conclude that we have evidence to support the claim of 29% .

95 % confidence interval estimate of the population percentage of candies that are red: (0.141,0.447)

Step-by-step explanation:

The confidence interval for population proportion is given by :-

[tex]\hat{p}\pm z_{\alpha/2}\sqrt{\dfrac{\hat{p}(1-\hat{p})}{n}}[/tex]

Given :- Sample size :[tex]n=34[/tex]

Number of red candies = 10

Proportion of red candies in sample : [tex]\hat{p}=\dfrac{10}{34}\approx0.294[/tex]

Significance level : [tex]\alpha=1-0.95=0.05[/tex]

Critical value : [tex]z_{\alpha/2}=1.96[/tex]

Now, the 95 % confidence interval estimate of the population percentage of candies that are red will be :-

[tex]0.294\pm (1.96)\sqrt{\dfrac{0.294(1-0.294)}{34}}\\\\\\\approx0.294\pm0.153\\\\=(0.294-0.153,0.294+0.153)\\\\=(0.141,0.447)[/tex]

Since , [tex]0.29\ \epsilon\ (0.141,0.447)[/tex]

Therefore, we conclude that we have evidence to support the claim.

We conclude that we have evidence to support the claim of [tex]29[/tex] % .

[tex]95%[/tex] % confidence interval estimate of the population percentage of candies that are red: [tex](0.141,0.447)[/tex]

The confidence interval for population proportion is given by :-

[tex]\hat{p}\pm z_{\alpha /2}{\sqrt{\frac{\hat{p}(1-\hat{p})}{n}}}[/tex]

Given :- Sample size : [tex]n=34[/tex]

Number of red candies =[tex]10[/tex]

Proportion of red candies in sample : [tex]\hat{p}=\frac{10}{34}\approx 0.294[/tex]

Significance level : [tex]\alpha =1-0.95=0.05[/tex]

Critical value : [tex]z_{\alpha /2}=1.96[/tex]

Now, the [tex]95[/tex] % confidence interval estimate of the population percentage of candies that are red will be :-

[tex]0.294\pm (1.96)\sqrt{\frac{0.294(1-0.294)}{34}}[/tex]

[tex]\approx 0.294\pm 0.153\\ \\ =(0.294-0.153,0.294+0.153)\\ \\ =(0.141,0.447)[/tex]
