Answer:

Hello your question has some missing parts below is the complete question

In a survey of 2065 adults in a certain country conducted during a period of economic​ uncertainty, 63​% thought that wages paid to workers in industry were too low. The margin of error was 4 percentage points with ​95% confidence. For parts​ (a) through​ (d) below, which represent a reasonable interpretation of the survey​ results? For those that are not​ reasonable, explain the flaw.

part a:(We are 95 % confident 63 % of adults in the country during the period of economic uncertainty felt wages paid to workers in industry were too low.)

part b:  We are 91 % to 99 % confident 63 % of adults in the country during the period of economic uncertainty felt wages paid to workers in industry were too low.

part c:  We are 95 % confident the proportion of adults in the country during the period of economic uncertainty who believed wages paid to workers in industry were too low was between 0.59 and 0.67. Is the interpretation reasonable?

part d: In 95 % of samples of adults in the country during the period of economic uncertainty, the proportion who believed wages paid to workers in industry were too low is between 0.59 and 0.67. Is the interpretation reasonable?

Answer : For part A :

The interpretation is flawed. No interval has been provided about the population proportion.  

part B :

The interpretation is flawed. The interpretation indicates that the level of confidence is varying.  

Part C

The interpretation is reasonable.

Part D

The interpretation is flawed. The interpretation suggests that this interval sets the standard for all the other intervals, which is not true.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given data: Population = 2065 ,

probability = 63% = 0.6,

margin of error = 4% = 0.04

confidence interval (95%) = ( 0.59,0.67 )  

For part A :

The interpretation is flawed. No interval has been provided about the population proportion.  this is because the confidence interval is not mentioned

part B :

The interpretation is flawed. The interpretation indicates that the level of confidence is varying.  this is because the confidence interval is a fixed value

Part C

The interpretation is reasonable.

this is because the confident level given is fixed

Part D

The interpretation is flawed. The interpretation suggests that this interval sets the standard for all the other intervals, which is not true.
