In a survey of 650 males ages 18-64, 392 say they have gone to the dentist in the past year. Construct 90% and 95% confidence intervals for the population proportion. Interpret the results and compare the widths of the confidence intervals. If convenient, use technology to construct the confidence intervals.
Sample proportion ()
= 0.603
Sample size (n) = 650
Confidence interval(in %) = 90
z @ 90% = 1.645
Since we know that
Required confidence interval = (0.603-0.0316, 0.603+0.0316)
Required confidence interval = (0.5714, 0.6346)
Confidence interval(in %) = 95
z @ 95% = 1.96
Since we know that
Required confidence interval = (0.603-0.0376, 0.603+0.0376)
Required confidence interval = (0.5654, 0.6406)
