In a survey of 2317 adults, 729 say they believe in UFOs. Construct a 99%
confidence interval for the population proportion of adults who believe in UFOs.
Solution:
n = 2317
p = 729 / 2317 = 0.3146
z = 2.576
99% confidence interval = p z
= 0.3146 2.576
= 0.3146 0.0248
= ( 0.2829 , 0.3394 )
With 99% confidence, it can be said that the sample proportion of adults who believe in UFOs is between the endpoints of the given confidence interval
