Use the given degree of confidence and sample data to construct a confidence interval for the population proportion p. n = 130
x = 69; 90% confidence

a. 0.463 < p < 0.599
b. 0.458 < p < 0.604
c. 0.461 < p < 0.601
d. 0.459 < p < 0.603

d. 0.459 < p < 0.603

Step-by-step explanation:

We have to calculate a 90% confidence interval for the proportion.

The sample proportion is p=0.531.

The standard error of the proportion is:

The critical z-value for a 90% confidence interval is z=1.645.

The margin of error (MOE) can be calculated as:

Then, the lower and upper bounds of the confidence interval are:

The 90% confidence interval for the population proportion is (0.459, 0.603).
