Answer: (0.076, 0.140)
Step-by-step explanation:
Confidence interval for population proportion (p) is given by :-
, where = sample proportion.
n= sample size.
= significance level .
= critical z-value (Two tailed)
As per given , we have
sample size : n= 500
The number of Independents.: x= 54
Sample proportion of Independents
Significance level 98% confidence level :
By using z-table , Critical value :
The 98% confidence interval for the true percentage of Independents among Haywards 50,000 registered voters will be :-
Hence, the 98% confidence interval for the true percentage of Independents among Haywards 50,000 registered voters.= (0.076, 0.140)
