Answer:

The lower bound for a 90% confidence interval for the percentage of all American adults who believe in ghosts is 0.3549

Step-by-step explanation:

In a sample with a number n of people surveyed with a probability of a success of \pi, and a confidence level of 1-\alpha, we have the following confidence interval of proportions.

\pi \pm z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}}

In which

z is the zscore that has a pvalue of 1 - \frac{\alpha}{2}.

For this problem, we have that:

n = 1012, \pi = 0.38

90% confidence level

So \alpha = 0.1, z is the value of Z that has a pvalue of 1 - \frac{0.1}{2} = 0.95, so Z = 1.645.

The lower limit of this interval is:

\pi - z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}} = 0.38 - 1.645\sqrt{\frac{0.38*0.62}{1012}} = 0.3549

The lower bound for a 90% confidence interval for the percentage of all American adults who believe in ghosts is 0.3549
