Answer:
95% Confidence interval: (0.8449,0.9951)
Step-by-step explanation:
We are given the following in the question:
Sample size, n = 50
Number of times the dog is right, x = 46
[tex]\hat{p} = \dfrac{x}{n} = \dfrac{46}{50} = 0.92[/tex]
95% Confidence interval:
[tex]\hat{p}\pm z_{stat}\sqrt{\dfrac{\hat{p}(1-\hat{p})}{n}}[/tex]
[tex]z_{critical}\text{ at}~\alpha_{0.05} = 1.96[/tex]
Putting the values, we get:
[tex]0.92 \pm 1.96(\sqrt{\dfrac{0.92(1-0.92)}{50}})\\\\ = 0.92\pm 0.0751\\\\=(0.8449,0.9951)[/tex]
(0.8449,0.9951) is the required 95% confidence interval for the proportion of times the dog will be correct.
