Answer:
The 95% confidence interval for the true proportion of defective batteries is (0.0966, 0.1034).
It is better to take a larger sample to derive conclusion about the true parameter value.
Step-by-step explanation:
The (1 - <em>α</em>) % confidence interval for proportion is:

Given:
<em>n</em> = 2000
<em>X</em> = 200
The sample proportion is:

The critical value of <em>z</em> for 95% confidence interval is:

Compute the 95% confidence interval as follows:

Thus, the 95% confidence interval for the true proportion of defective batteries is (0.0966, 0.1034).
Now if in a sample of 100 batteries there are 15 defectives, the the 95% confidence interval for this sample is:

It can be observed that as the sample size was decreased the width of the confidence interval was increased.
Thus, it can be concluded that it is better to take a larger sample to derive conclusion about the true parameter value.
