A) Read carefully the text and provide each of the following:

The sample size ?=
,
from the sample, the number of college students who own a car is ?=
,
the confidence level is CL =
%.

B) Find the sample proportion ?ˆ=
and ?ˆ=1−?ˆ=

Expert Solution
Step 1

(A)

The sample size is, n = 1300

The number of college students who own a car is,
