X + (1/x) = 4*(1/x)
(x^2 +1)/x = 4/x
x^2+1=4
x^2 = 3

x= 3^(1/2)

Answer:

The 90% confidence interval is (0.1897, 0.2285).

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 interval $1-\alpha$ , 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:

From a July 2019 survey of 1186 randomly selected Americans ages 18-29, it was discovered that 248 of them vaped (used an e-cigarette) in the past week. This means that $n = 1186, \pi = \frac{248}{1186} = 0.2091$

Construct a 90% confidence interval to estimate the population proportion of Americans age 18-29 who vaped in the past week.

So $\alpha = 0.10$ , z is the value of Z that has a pvalue of $1 - \frac{0.10}{2} = 0.95$ , so $z = 1.645$ .

The lower limit of this interval is:

$\pi - z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}} = 0.2091 - 1.645\sqrt{\frac{0.2091*0.7909}{1186}} = 0.1897$

The upper limit of this interval is:

$\pi + z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}} = 0.2091 + 1.645\sqrt{\frac{0.2091*0.7909}= 0.2285$

The 90% confidence interval is (0.1897, 0.2285).
