Sagot :
Using the z-distribution, the 95% confidence interval to describe the total percentage of students who do not like ice cream is:
(8.34%, 17.66%).
What is a confidence interval of proportions?
A confidence interval of proportions is given by:
[tex]\pi \pm z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}}[/tex]
In which:
- [tex]\pi[/tex] is the sample proportion.
- z is the critical value.
- n is the sample size.
In this problem, we have a 95% confidence level, hence[tex]\alpha = 0.95[/tex], z is the value of Z that has a p-value of [tex]\frac{1+0.95}{2} = 0.975[/tex], so the critical value is z = 1.96.
For this problem, the estimate and the sample size are given, respectively, by:
[tex]\pi = 0.13, n = 200[/tex]
Hence the bounds of the interval are:
- [tex]\pi - z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}} = 0.13 - 1.96\sqrt{\frac{0.13(0.87)}{200}} = 0.0834[/tex]
- [tex]\pi + z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}} = 0.13 + 1.96\sqrt{\frac{0.13(0.87)}{200}} = 0.1766[/tex]
As a percentage, the interval is:
(8.34%, 17.66%).
