Answer:

The correct answer is "0.3410, 0.4990".

Step-by-step explanation:

Given values are:

[tex]n=150[/tex]

[tex]p=\frac{63}{150}[/tex]

  [tex]=0.42[/tex]

At 95% confidence interval,

C = 95%

z = 1.96

As we know,

⇒ [tex]E=z\sqrt{\frac{p(1-p)}{n} }[/tex]

By substituting the values, we get

       [tex]=1.96\sqrt{\frac{0.42\times 0.58}{150} }[/tex]

       [tex]=1.96\sqrt{\frac{0.2436}{150} }[/tex]

       [tex]=0.0790[/tex]

hence,

The confidence interval will be:

= [tex]p \pm E[/tex]

= [tex]0.42 \pm 0.079[/tex]

= [tex](0.3410,0.4990)[/tex]
