Is the environment a major issue with Americans? To answer that question, a researcher conducts a survey of 1255 randomly selected Americans. Suppose 735 of the sampled people replied that the environment is a major issue with them. Construct a 95% confidence interval to estimate the proportion of Americans who feel that the environment is a major issue with them. What is the point estimate of this proportion?

The point estimate of this proportion is $\pi = 0.5857$

The 95% confidence interval to estimate the proportion of Americans who feel that the environment is a major issue with them is (0.5584, 0.6130).

Step-by-step explanation:

In a sample with a number n of people surveyed with a probability of a success of $\pi$ , and a confidence level of $1-\alpha$ , we have the following confidence interval of proportions.

$\pi \pm z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}}$

In which

z is the zscore that has a pvalue of $1 - \frac{\alpha}{2}$ .

For this problem, we have that:

$n = 1255, \pi = \frac{735}{1255} = 0.5857$

The point estimate of this proportion is $\pi = 0.5857$

95% confidence level

So $\alpha = 0.05$ , z is the value of Z that has a pvalue of $1 - \frac{0.05}{2} = 0.975$ , so Z = 1.96 .

The lower limit of this interval is:

$\pi - z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}} = 0.5857 - 1.96\sqrt{\frac{0.5857*0.4143}{1255}} = 0.5584$

The upper limit of this interval is:

$\pi + z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}} = 0.5857 + 1.96\sqrt{\frac{0.5857*0.4143}{1255}} = 0.6130$

The 95% confidence interval to estimate the proportion of Americans who feel that the environment is a major issue with them is (0.5584, 0.6130).

87.12

in the opening of the question the word 'service' is associated only with the pretax value.

the closing part of the question asks: how much did she pay for the

service

−−−−−−

so technically the answer is

87.12

however, the intention of the question provider may have been that your answer is to be

87.12

(

)

94.09

to 2 decimal places.
