Question

In a recent survey, 1100 adult Americans were randomly selected and examined for high blood pressure. The number of patients classified with hypertension (high blood pressure) is 418. The department of Health and Human services has a target of 36% for hypertension prevalence. Based on the 95% confidence interval, is there any evidence to suggest that the prevalence of hypertension is different from the target value?

Let p be the true proportion of adult Americans with hypertension.

Answer choice:

95% CI: (0.3801, 0.4263), there is not sufficient evidence to suggest that p is different from 0.36.
95% CI: (0.3801, 0.4263), there is evidence to suggest that p is different from 0.36.
95% CI: (0.3513, 0.4087), there is not sufficient evidence to suggest that p is different from 0.36.
95% CI: (0.3513, 0.4087), there is evidence to suggest that p is different from 0.36.
