A report on consumer financial literacy summarized data from a representative sample of 1,663 adult Americans. Based on data fro

m this sample, it was reported that over half of U.S. adults would give themselves a grade of A or B on their knowledge of personal finance. This statement was based on observing that 934 people in the sample would have given themselves a grade of A or B.
(a) Construct and interpret a 95% confidence interval for the proportion of all adult Americans who would give themselves a grade of A or B on their financial knowledge of personal finance. (Use a table or technology. Round your answers to three decimal places.) , (b) Is the confidence interval from part (a) consistent with the statement that a majority of adult Americans would give themselves a grade of A or B? Explain why or why not. Because this confidence interval , the interval consistent with the statement that a majority of adult Americans would give themselves a grade of A or B.

Answer:

a) 95% Confidence interval = (0.536, 0.584)

This means that we are 95% confident that between 53.6% and 58.4% of Americans would give themselves grade of A or B on their financial knowledge of personal finance.

b) The result of the 95% confidence interval agrees with the claim that majority of Americans would give themselves a grade of A or B on their financial knowledge of personal finance because the interval obtained for possible values that the population proportion of Americans that would give themselves a grade of A or B on their financial knowledge of personal finance lies completely on the side that is greater than a proportion of 0.50 which indicates that truly, majority of Americans would give themselves a grade of A or B on their financial knowledge of personal finance.

Step-by-step explanation:

Confidence Interval for the population proportion is basically an interval of range of values where the true population proportion can be found with a certain level of confidence.

Mathematically,

Confidence Interval = (Sample proportion) ± (Margin of error)

Sample proportion = proportion of Americans in the sample that would give themselves grade of A or B on their financial knowledge of personal finance = p = (934/1663) = 0.56

Margin of Error is the width of the confidence interval about the mean.

It is given mathematically as,

Margin of Error = (Critical value) × (standard Error)

Critical value at 95% confidence interval for sample size of 1663 is obtained from the z-tables as the sample size is large enough for the sample properties to approximate the population properties.

Critical value = 1.960 (from the z-tables)

Standard error of the mean = σₓ = √[p(1-p)/n]

p = 0.56

n = sample size = 1663

σₓ = √[0.56×0.44/1663] = 0.0121723457 = 0.01217

95% Confidence Interval = (Sample proportion) ± [(Critical value) × (standard Error)]

CI = 0.56 ± (1.96 × 0.01217)

CI = 0.56 ± 0.0238532

95% CI = (0.5361468, 0.5838532)

95% Confidence interval = (0.536, 0.584)

b) The result of the 95% confidence interval agrees with the claim that majority of Americans would give themselves a grade of A or B on their financial knowledge of personal finance because the interval obtained for possible values that the population proportion of Americans that would give themselves a grade of A or B on their financial knowledge of personal finance lies completely on the side that is greater than a proportion of 0.50 which indicates that truly, majority of Americans would give themselves a grade of A or B on their financial knowledge of personal finance.

Hope this Helps!!!

What is an estimation strategy<br> This is for 6th grade math please help
Lunna [17]

Answer:

Estimation is a mental process of coming up with an answer that is relatively  close, to allow decisions to be made. The types of estimation are quantity, computation and measurement.

An estimation strategy is simply coming up with a good estimate based on evidence and already known facts. Coming to a conclusion as close to the real answer as you can. It can also be called an educated guess.
