Answer #1

here

P=proportion worker say that they are interested in doing work in summer vacation out of total number of survey n=349

Here

p=0.14 n=349

What is the margin of error for the survey?

And

#here we considere the 95%CI

ME=margin of error

ME=±

%

=1-0.95=0.05

=Z0.025=1.96

value of z is obtained from standard normal table

ME=0.019

95% interval that is likely to contain the exact percent of all U.S. teenagers who worked during their summer vacation is

(P-ME,P+ME)

(0.14-0.019,0.14+0.019)

(0.121,0.159)

Between 12.1 % and 15.9 %
