In a survey of 1000 large corporations, 260 said that, given a choice between a job candidate who smokes and an equally qualified nonsmoker, the nonsmoker would be preferred. Construct a 95% confidence interval for the proportion of corporations preferring a nonsmoking candidate.

The 95% confidence interval for the proportion of corporations preferring a nonsmoking candidate is (0.2328, 0.2872)

Step-by-step explanation:

In a sample with a number n of people surveyed with a probability of a success of , and a confidence level of , we have the following confidence interval of proportions.

In which

z is the zscore that has a pvalue of .

For this problem, we have that:

95% confidence level

So , z is the value of Z that has a pvalue of , so .

The lower limit of this interval is:

The upper limit of this interval is:

The 95% confidence interval for the proportion of corporations preferring a nonsmoking candidate is (0.2328, 0.2872)
