An article regarding interracial dating and marriage recently appeared in the Washington Post. Of the 1,709randomly selected adults, 315identified themselves as Latinos, 323identified themselves as blacks, 254identified themselves as Asians, and 779identified themselves as whites. In this survey, 86%of blacks said that they would welcome a white person into their families. Among Asians, 77%would welcome a white person into their families, 71%would welcome a Latino, and 66%would welcome a black person.

a. We are interested in finding the 95%confidence interval for the percent of all black adults who would welcome a white person into their families. Define the random variables Xand P', in words.

b. Which distribution should you use for this problem? Explain your choice.

c. Construct a 95%confidence interval.

i. State the confidence interval.

ii. Sketch the graph.

iii. Calculate the error bound.

a.

The percentage of black adults who would welcome a white family member isP',Xis The percentage of black adults who would welcome a white family member into their home is a random variable.

b. Contribution is N0.86,0.860.14323.N0.86,0.860.14323.

c. Confident level is localid="1649856649792" 0.822p0.898,

Graph is ,

Error bound is0.038.

Step by step solution

01

Explanation (part a)

a).

323of the1709adults chosen at random described themselves as black.

The percentage of black adults who would welcome a white person into their family is p^.

As a result, the true population proportion point estimate is

p^=86%=0.86.

Variable at random is the percentage of black adults who would accept a white family member into their home.

Therefore,

n=332

And x=3320.86

=285.52.

02

Explanation  (part b)

b)

Given p^=0.86and n=323,

The distribution we should apply for predicting a proportion is,

N0.86,0.860.14323.

03

Explanation part (c)

c)

If the proportion of observations in a random sample of sizenthat belong to a class of interest is p^,

An approximate 100(1-)%confidence interval on the proportion pof the population that belongs to this class is p^

localid="1649855567861" p^-z2p^(1-p^)npp^+z2p^(1-p^)n.........1

Where

2=1-0.952=0.025

and

localid="1649855580829" z2=1.96.......2

Therefore, from Equations 1and 2

0.86-1.960.86(1-0.86)323p0.86+1.960.86(1-0.86)323

A 95%CI is

0.822p0.898
