Use the following information to answer the next two exercises: Five hundred and eleven (511)homes in a certain southern California community are randomly surveyed to determine if they meet minimal earthquake preparedness recommendations. One hundred seventy-three (173)of the homes surveyed met the minimum recommendations for earthquake preparedness, and 338did not.

Find the confidence interval at the 90%Confidence Level for the true population proportion of southern California community homes meeting at least the minimum recommendations for earthquake preparedness.

a. (0.2975,0.3796)

b.(0.6270,0.6959)

c. (0.3041,0.3730)

d.(0.6204,0.7025)

Short Answer

Expert verified

The population proportion has a 90%confidence interval of0.627p0.696

Step by step solution

01

Introduction

A confidence interval is a range for assessing an undetermined parameter in likelihood ratio statistics.

From one or both sides, it can be bounded. At a given confidence level, a confidence interval is calculated.

The 95percent threshold is the most commonly utilized, however other amounts are occasionally used as well.

02

Explanation

If the proportion of observed in a random sample of size nthat relate to a class of interest is p^, an estimate 100(1)%confidence interval on the fraction pof the population which belongs to this class is

Equation 1

p^z2p^(1p^)npp^+z2p^(1p^)n

where z2denotes the normally distributed distribution's top 2basis point.

Three hundred thirty-eight (x=338)of the 511residences surveyed do not satisfy the minimal disaster preparedness guidelines.

As a result, the population mean of homes that do not meet the minimum earthquake preparedness standards is

p^=338511=0.661

For such a two-sided confidence interval of 90%

2=10.902=0.05,

then

z2=1.65.

As a result of Equations 1and 2, the population proportion has a 90%two-sided CI.
