Answer:
a. 2,727
b. (85.6%, 87.6%)
Step-by-step explanation:
The percentage of the adults aged 57 through 85 that used at least one prescription medication = 86.6%
a. The expected number of the 3,149 subjects aged 57 through 85 that used at least one prescription medication = 3,149 × 86.6/100 = 2,727.034 ≈ 2,727 (subjects)
b. The 90% confidence interval estimate of the percentage of adults aged 57 through 85 years who use at least one prescription medication is given as follows;
Where;
= 86.6/100= 0.866
n = 3,149
z = The z-value at 90% confidence level = 1.645
Therefore, we get the following confidence interval of the percentage of adults (rounded to one decimal place as required);
The 90% confidence interval, of the percentage C.I. ≈ (85.6%, 87.6%).
