Answer:
The 95% confidence interval for the true proportion of bottlenose dolphin signature whistles that are type a whistles is (0.4687, 0.6123).
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 true proportion of bottlenose dolphin signature whistles that are type a whistles is (0.4687, 0.6123).
<span>The median would be preferred over the mean in such scenarios because the median will lessen the impact of the outliers that fall within the "tail" of the skew. Therefore, if a curve is normally distributed, that is to say that data is normally distributed, there will be two tails, each with approximately equal proportions of outliers. Outliers in this case being more extreme numbers, and are based on your determination depending on how you are using the data. If data is skewed there is one tail, and therefore it may be an inaccurate measure of central tendency if you use the mean of the numbers. Thinking of this visually. In positively skewed data where there is a "tail" towards the right and a "peak" towards the left, the median will be placed more in the "peak", whereas the mean will be placed more towards the "tail", making it a poorer measure of central tendency, or the center of the data.</span>
