Question Help ▼
In a poll conducted, 439 of 1007 adults in a certain country polled said they were "picky eaters." Complete parts (a) through (d) below.
(Round to two decimal places as needed.)
b. Find a 95% confidence interval for the population proportion of adults in the country who say they are picky eaters. Assume the poll used a simple random sample (SRS). (In fact, it used
random sampling, but a more complex method than SRS.)
A 95% confidence interval for the population proportion is ( ).
(Round to two decimal places as needed.)
c. Would a 90% confidence interval based on this sample be wider or narower than the 95% interval? Give a reason for your answer.
O A. A 90% confidence interval would be wider than the 95% interval because a 90% confidence interval includes less of the sampling distribution.
