The state education commission wants to estimate the fraction of tenth grade students that have reading skills at or below the eighth grade level. Step 2 of 2 : Suppose a sample of 292 tenth graders is drawn. Of the students sampled, 240 read above the eighth grade level. Using the data, construct the 80% confidence interval for the population proportion of tenth graders reading at or below the eighth grade level. Round your answers to three decimal places.

The 80% confidence interval for the population proportion of tenth graders reading at or below the eighth grade level is (0.149, 0.207).

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 .

Suppose a sample of 292 tenth graders is drawn. Of the students sampled, 240 read above the eighth grade level.

So 292 - 240 = 52 read below or at eight grade level, and that

80% 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 80% confidence interval for the population proportion of tenth graders reading at or below the eighth grade level is (0.149, 0.207).
