A simple random sample of 200 third graders in a large school district was chosen to participate in an after-school program to improve reading skills. After completing the program, the children were tested, and 142 of them showed improvement in their reading skills a) Construct a 95% confidence interval for the proportion of third graders in the school district whose reading scores would improve after completing the program. Answer: 0.647< p< 0.773 b) Is it reasonable to conclude that more than 60% of the students would improve their reading scores after completing the program? Answer: Yes, please explain.
