Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

You have a total area of 2,200 sq units to cover... and each can of paint covers 400 sq units. So, you'll need:

2200 sq units / 400 sq units/can = 5.5 cans

In such problems, we always round up, since you will need 5 full cans of paint, and half of a 6th can.

So, in total you will need 6 cans of paint to cover all 2,200 sq units.

Using the z-distribution, it is found that the 90% confidence interval for the true proportion of club members who use compost is (0.392, 0.508).

<h3>What is a confidence interval of proportions?</h3>

A confidence interval of proportions is given by:

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

In which:

$\pi$ is the sample proportion.

z is the critical value.

n is the sample size.

In this problem, we have a 90% confidence level, hence $\alpha = 0.9$ , z is the value of Z that has a p-value of $\frac{1+0.9}{2} = 0.95$ , so the critical value is z = 1.645.
