The Scenario The Georgia state legislature is considering running their upcoming Senate runoff as a vote by mail only election. The legislators have asked the Election board to commission a study to determine, with 90% confidence, what percentage of voters will support a vote by mail only election. The Election board surveys a sample of Georgia voters. They survey 2086 registered voters, 1266 of which responded to the survey. Of the respondents, 993 said they would support a vote by mail only election. Part A Compute the confidence interval for the sample at a 90% confidence level and provide all your computations. You may use an app to do the computations. Provide a screenshot of any app you use and all computation you do. Use your confidence interval to answer the follow: What is p-hat? Please give your answer exact to three decimal places. What is the standard error for this interval? Please give your answer exact to four decimal places. What is the confidence interval? Please give your answer in proper interval format exact to four decimal places. Put your interval into context of the scenario.

The Election board surveys a sample of Georgia voters.

They survey 2086 registered voters, 1266 of which responded to the survey. Of the respondents, 993 said they would support a vote by mail only election.

Part A

Compute the confidence interval for the sample at a 90% confidence level and provide all your computations. You may use an app to do the computations. Provide a screenshot of any app you use and all computation you do. Use your confidence interval to answer the follow:

  1. What is p-hat? Please give your answer exact to three decimal places.
  2. What is the standard error for this interval? Please give your answer exact to four decimal places.
  3. What is the confidence interval? Please give your answer in proper interval format exact to four decimal places.
  4. Put your interval into context of the scenario.
