( , ) b) If there are 1,316,000 lawyers in the U.S., what would your confidence interval predict for the number of lawyers who exceed the pro bono requirement? Express your answer as an interval, rounded to the nearest whole number. ( , )
(a)
(b)
To find the confidence interval for number of lawyers we need to multiply above confidence interval by 1316000.
The required confidence interval is
(0.3931 * 1316000 , 0.5069 * 1316000) = (517319.6, 667080.4)
Answer: ( 517320, 667080)
